Birdhouse team member Clint Walker talks about the team's back-to-back KOTR winsKing of the Road is an institution in skateboarding. Started by Thrasher magazine in 2003, it's a demented, roving adventure that follows various skate teams across the country as they compete to accomplish a set list of tasks, some of which carry great risk of bodily harm, and others that don't involve skateboarding at all (but still might carry great risk of bodily harm).VICELAND has teamed up with Thrasher for the latest season, which will feature the Birdhouse, Chocolate, and Toy Machine teams hauling ass across America, throwing their bodies and whatever dignity they might have had into the wind for a chance to become the reigning King of the Road.Birdhouse is this year's defending champion, having won the competition in 2014 and 2013. Its current lineup features some of the biggest names in the game, like Aaron "Jaws" Homoki, Ben Raybourn, and Clint Walker, who will do whatever's necessary to win their third KOTR crown. Give the videos above and below a watch and get to know the gentlemen hoping for a hat trick this year, and keep an eye out for introductory videos for the Chocolate and Toy Machine teams coming soon.KING OF THE ROAD premieres Thursday, April 28 on VICELAND at 11:00 PM. Until then, watch the documentary following the last ten years of the competition.
