Last Season Finals
What You
Missed.
The trick that changed the rankings. The crowd that blew the roof off. The moment that's been living rent-free in everyone's head since September.
2025 Finals — Street Division
Darius Webb — The 900 That Won Everything
Darius "Crater" Webb lands the first 900 at a Grind event — judges at 9.8, crowd erupts.
Record-breaking gate. Every seat sold out 3 weeks before the event.
The trophy hoist clip broke 2 million views in under a day. This year's winner will be bigger.
“I've been to X Games, I've been to Tampa Pro. Grind hits different. The crowd actually knows what they're watching.”

Going Fast.
Each division caps at 32 riders. That's not manufactured scarcity — it's the size of the course. When it's full, it's full.
