Sunday April 28th
Today was a scorcher. The vert guys toughed it out though and put on a great show. Sandro Dias was flying high, as always, to take 3rd. Jake Brown qualified in 1st place and finished 2nd in the finals to get the X Games spot and a nice check. And Andy Macdonald, straight off a plane from Las Vegas the night before, took 1st place and $10,000 for his efforts.
It's time for a little dinner and then back to post photos later tonight.
Saturday April 27th
Park finals concluded today and Carlos de Andrade had one of the best contest runs I have ever seen, taking 1st place, $10,000 and a spot to the X Games. Kyle Berard took 2nd and Pat Channita grabbed 3rd.
Friday April 26th
Today was almost rained out but the weather worked for us and we got through Park Prelims dry. A bunch of photos are posted as well as results. Tommorrow is Park finals and Sunday is Vert prelims and finals. Check back for more photos and results.
