In the fourth episode of King of the Road season 3, titled "Get Your War Face On," the three teams continue their skateboarding journey in their custom vans across the West Coast of America. They start off in Sacramento, California, and head towards their next destination, Carson City, Nevada.
The teams are faced with their first challenge of the episode as they arrive in Carson City. They must skate a set of stairs called "The Governor’s Mansion" while disguised in military gear - helmets, masks, and army jackets. This challenge is inspired by a local legend that claims the staircase was originally designed to train soldiers for WWII. The skaters must also avoid "enemy fire," which comes in the form of water balloons dropped by their opposing teams.
After completing the challenge, the teams head to a skatepark called "The Bunker" for their second task. This park is known for its unique obstacles, including a giant tank and a replica of a missile truck. The skaters are tasked with performing tricks on these obstacles while wearing gas masks and army helmets. The judges will be looking for originality and style, and the team with the best tricks will earn extra points.
As the teams continue their journey, tensions rise between them. The skaters are competitive, and they must also deal with the stress of living in close quarters with each other in their vans. The cameramen and producers document their every move, and the pressure is on to perform well in the challenges.
Throughout the episode, viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at the skaters’ lives on the road. They see the highs and lows of the journey, from the thrill of landing a difficult trick to the frustration of a failed attempt. They also witness the skaters’ close friendships and playful rivalries.
The episode ends with the teams heading towards their next destination, located in a remote desert area. They must navigate tricky terrain, including rocky roads and steep hills, in order to reach their next challenge. The skaters are exhausted but determined to continue the journey and prove themselves as the King of the Road.
