Skateboarding
Contest skating is no joke, and the amount of incredibly talented skaters is only growing year over year. 2025 marked Malachi Gray’s 4th showing at Cowtown’s PHX AM contest, what he describes as “It’s the biggest Am contest of the year. Despite his regular showings in recent years, Malachi has struggled to advance from qualifiers, a testament to the conditions he’s up against. Listen in as he describes the hectic scene at the skatepark and mission is is to practice. Battling a lite ankle injury wasn’t helping, either. He shares his strategy for round one to not flip into anything–especially during practice–and save his upgrades for the runs to come. After the day 1 jitters, things came together during semifinals and he found himself advancing to the finals. Without question, this was Malachi’s best PHX AM to date.
