This contest was insane..The riders did 3 runs in all.
The 1st was a skate "till you fall" run...
The 2nd was an "all out balls to the wall" ramp jam fora full 20 minutes!!
Everyone was skating at once..You had to be there to believe how crazy it was..I cant describe how close they all came to full on collisions but surprisingly this didnt happen.Check this movie(More movies added Below..Scroll down) for an example.
And to decide the contest the riders had to do a 3rd 1 minute run.At this stage ,everyone was worn out from the 20 minute jam but Rune Glifberg managed to muster up the strength to land a 540 Mc Twist off the crazy trapezoid like extension(with no pads whatsoever).He tried and failed it 3 times in all and still managed to "run it out".I have no idea how you run out of a 540 air but he somehow managed it .Then on his last try he landed it perfectly..At that, the crowd went crazy...But even this was not enough to secure Rune a first place.
Florida was well represented by Tim Johnson and Mike Peterson..Tim was doing 6 foot frontside stalefish airs everywhere and I think he deserved a better result than tenth.Mike skated awesome too.
Overall everyone in the finals were so rad ,I dont know how the judges decided on a winner at all.
