The Background
GvR was started in 2004 to answer that age-old question: Who are better: Goofy foot or regular foot skateboarders? In the first year, the Regulars took it, but the Goofy footers have come back to win both contests since.
Last year, the Goofy-footers were led by Nyjah Huston, along with Jereme Rogers, Rodolfo Ramos, Greg Lutzka, Ronnie Creager, Colt Cannon and others. The Regulars had Ryan Sheckler, Chris Cole, Tony Cervantes, Chris Troy, Andrew Reynolds and Billy Marks.
