Portland’s Tom McCall Waterfront Park was electric on Sunday as the 2025 Rockstar Energy Open wrapped its three-day weekend of skateboarding, music, and culture. Over 34,000 fans came through to witness high-level skating, epic runs, and podium sweeps that left the crowd buzzing.

Women’s Street Final: Japanese Skaters Dominate

The Women’s Street Final was all Japan, led by Coco Yoshizawa, who stomped a jaw-dropping run packed with a kickflip frontside boardslide down the handrail, gap to back 50-50 on the bump to hubba, backside tailslide on the step-up wedge, frontside bluntslide flatbar, 360 flip up the step-up, and a bigflip frontside boardslide on the handrail. Ibuki Matsumoto put down an incredible opening run that had her ahead by over 10 points, but Coco’s final run sealed the win. Twelve-year-old Mei Oseki, a VQS alum, took third, proving the next generation of Japanese street skaters is already here.

“I couldn’t land all the tricks I wanted in practice, so I wasn’t expecting to win. I had so much fun and I’m super happy I was able to pull it off,” said Coco Yoshizawa.

Men’s Park Final: Tom Schaar Soars

Tom Schaar took the Men’s Park title in front of a packed crowd, besting defending champion Yuro Nagahara and X Games gold medalist Gavin Bottger. Schaar’s second run—featuring a Frontside tailslide, tailgrab 540 on the vert wall, stalefish, Smith stall on the Rockstar logo, frontside blunt on the center island vert extension, frontside feeble grind, heelflip Indy, kickflip Indy to fakie, Cab disaster, alley-oop tailgrab over hip, bigspin backside lipslide, and Ollie to fakie over hip—was enough to lock the win.

“Portland has a really big skate scene. It’s fun skating in front of everyone, and this event is mellower than other stuff we do. We come here knowing it’s going to be fun, and it always is,” said Schaar.

Men’s Street Final: Kairi Netsuke Dominates

Kairi Netsuke set the bar impossibly high in Men’s Street, landing 23 tricks across his first two runs without a single fall. Tricks included a backside noseblunt on the handrail, nollie frontside heelflip over the hip, Cab heelflip on the quarterpipe, frontside tailslide 270 out, nollie inward heelflip backside 180, backside nosegrind, nollie backside heelflip, bigflip up the step-up, heelflip backside lipslide, and nollie inward heelflip over the hip. Rookie Julian Agliardi shocked the crowd jumping from ninth to second, while Brazil’s Ivan Monteiro rounded out the podium.
