Nineteen-year-old professional skateboarder Torey Pudwill is on a mission. That mission is quite simple, skateboard as much as possible and make sure someone is there to document it. In this Firsthand we're invited along for the ride as Torey makes the most out of his summer and juggles his way through multiple projects and events. Already knee deep in filming for the upcoming Almost video, Torey adds to his laundry list of obligations when he accepts the offer to film a featured segment in the newest Transworld video. Growing up a fan of the Transworld videos, Torey is enthusiastic about the prospect and immediately sets to work. In an effort to keep his Transworld part distinctive from his Almost part, Torey enlists friends, photographers and Transworld filmer Jon Holland to show him new spots to film at. Next, we head to Copenhagen, Denmark with Torey and some of his DVS Shoe Company teammates. Once there, Torey enters the third annual CPH PRO contest. Competing against top European skaters as well as pros like Eric Koston and Zered Bassett, Torey's nerves almost get the best of him. But by the end of the weekend it's Torey who's atop the podium as the winner of his first pro contest. Upon his return from Europe, Torey heads to the Orange County Fair Grounds to compete in the invite-only, high stakes contest known as the Maloof Money Cup. Riding the wave from his 1st place finish at the CPH PRO, Torey goes all-in against P Rod, Chris Cole, Ryan Sheckler and a veritable who's who of today's top pros. At the end of a grueling three-day battle Torey walks away with a respectable 4th place finish and $10,000 in prize money. Finally, Torey travels to St. Louis, Missouri to experience a once in a lifetime opportunity and skateboard inside of a museum. Torey along with a few of his fellow Matix clothing team riders and a handful of other skaters are given permission to film and shoot photos inside of St. Louis' "City Museum". A museum unlike any other, it' less
