Powell also gave insight on how important this competition is for street skating because it isn\u2019t a course designed for a best trick contest on a handrail, and the features were set up to inspire the riders to come up with creative ways to connect tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"604\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG-4465-604x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG-4465-604x1024.jpeg 604w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG-4465-600x1017.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG-4465-177x300.jpeg 177w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG-4465-768x1301.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG-4465-906x1536.jpeg 906w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG-4465.jpeg 1008w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><figcaption>TJ Rogers at Red Bull Paris Conquest 2021.
