Greyson Fletcher Stole the Show at the Rockstar Energy Open in Portland (Video)

From backflipping into an empty bowl to literally punching himself in the face, all eyes were on Greyson Fletcher at the first-ever Rockstar Energy Open this past weekend. Greyson charged through each of his runs with the fearless, borderline barbaric style he's known for and put on quite a show, to say the least. Just check out some of these clips:

If you've ever met Greyson, you know first hand that he approaches everything in life—on and off the board—with an insane amount of intensity. Full speed. No stop signs. No rules. No nonsense. He gets this spark inside of him that I don't even think he can contain and leaves it all out on whatever wild terrain he's skating.

All that energy is insanely infectious, too. You can't pay for motivation like that! It's all natural for Greyson. The dude is simply fired up! And he's not afraid to show it. His runs are loose and impressive—full on freestyle attacks! It's impossible to look away. You never really know what's coming, but you know it's going to be insane. There's only one Greyson Fletcher. He's a beast!

He had the crowd (and all participating skaters) on the edge of their seats literally every single time he dropped in. Or, in some cases, backflipped in . And he didn't hold back. Boards flying in the air, Greyson flying in the air...it was pure chaos in all the best ways.

The Rockstar Energy Open was the first of its kind and hosted some of the heaviest, hungriest up-and-comers in the game, along with plenty of familiar faces and even Olympians. Everyone who skated the contest—including the skate shop portion—absolutely killed it.

But again, in my humble opinion, seeing Greyson do his thing was a major takeaway. I guess sometimes you don't need to be standing tall on the podium to steal the show. Raw skateboarding (and, well...some goofy antics) are the perfect recipe all the same.
