Prelims |
The day before finals were the practice and preliminary. However, the bad weather moved in by the afternoon and closed the park down. Lots
of amazing skating was thrown down...practice is always better than the actual contest. Sean Miller ripped in practice but hurt himself
and did not make it to the finals. |

Finals |
Finals brought out the big tricks. A lot of people held back in practices so they didn't let the competition know what they had up their sleeves. For me (Solomon),
it was the first time I had ever seen lots of the tricks done that day. Buster Halterman and Brian "Kentucky" Boyd stood out the most in my mind. They just
plain ripped more than I had ever seen in my life. |
