With well over 5,000 spectators in attendance, the Vans Park Series Brazil event yielded exceptional performances by winners Tom Schaar and Sakura Yosozumi. With tense score exchanges happening heat after heat in the final, VPS Select Pro and podium veteran Tom Schaar secured an early lead with the highest run score of the entire event, producing his signature colossal airs in clean fast-paced runs, while Brazilian icon Pedro Barros kept the crowd on edge, executing a powerful air-heavy run with only minutes left in the final to finish in second. Finally, Tristan Rennie celebrates his first VPS podium appearance ever, attacking every wall with ease for a third place finish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just stoked I\u2019m down here in Brazil, it\u2019s amazing, this is the greatest crowd I\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d said VPS Brazil Men\u2019s winner Tom Schaar.

Yosozumi surpassed the field in Semi\u2019s as an Open Qualifier and emerged as the victor of the Women\u2019s Brazil event. Runner up and the undisputable crowd favorite, Brazilian Yndiara Asp demonstrated lightning speed and variety to outrun her peers, while the energy from the crowd kept her spirits high. In third, VPS Select Pro and the first-ever park terrain women\u2019s world champ (2016), Brighton Zeuner returns to the podium, wowing the crowd with her unique style and creative trick selection.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulation to all the winners!
