We needed a little break from winter here in New York and thanks to 5Boro, Maloof Money Cup, Volcom and Vans we got one. The Break From Winter Jam went down at the House of Vans (Brooklyn, NY) giving everyone a chance to throw down tricks for cash. $2,000 was divided up for different categories of best trick (results below). 400+ people showed up and Vans was an amazing host once again, stocking the house with snacks, drinks, music (via Sean Kellings) and burgers & dogs (via Steve Van Doren).
