Starting line in Reno
The U.S. leg of the Gumball 3000 started at the Reno Arch. The crowd was pretty tame until a few people started walking up to Coco Zurita's car to check out his bike on the roof. From there the entire crowd swarmed the street.

Detours
Tony Hawk and his crew took a lot of detours to hit some good skate spots along the way. Here, Corbin Harris blunts in the pocket at the legendary Buena Vista Pool on the way from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

Gold Rolls
It's not the fastest or most expensive car in the rally, but it was definitely one of the most opulent. Here is the all gold Rolls waiting on the grid in Los Angeles with a few hundred dollar bills getting blown off by the wind.

Whip it good
Coco Zurita was hitting back to back to back to back tailwhips and flairs at height throughout the entire demo. As the only BMXer in the demo, he was definitely a crowd favorite.

Crued up
Tommy Lee, founding member of Motley Crue, seemed to enjoy every minute of the U.S. leg of the Gumball, but was especially stoked during the demo. Here Tommy Lee gets a shot of Tony Hawk doing a classic invert. And then it was off to X Games for Hawk, Zurita and select other drivers on the Gumball 3000.
