After the first run:

At the end of the first run it was Cam McCaul sitting in first with 93.0 points. Cam's run went something like this: 360 the drop, tailwhip on - barspin off, barspin onto the box - no foot can off, tuck no handed front flip, tuck no hander, and a super flip. Sick! Cam Zink was in second after the first, his run included a flip table off the drop, a 1 footed 360 x-up, 360 off the box, a giant front flip and what look like a nac flip but may have been a missed flip one footed x-up.

After the second run:

A bunch of riders had trouble with their second runs. Hult, Reece, Genovese, Chubey, Rheeder, Kabbani, and Zink all had troubles with tricks or wind and didn't make it through. Anthony Messere looked like he was having a sick run but then slipped a pedal tail whipping off the box and unfortunately it was game over for him. Kurt Sorge decided his day was over after his first run crash, and McCaul and Soderstrom both decided not to take a second run and instead save it for the super final. After finishing his first run in 7th place Semenuk stepped it up and threw down a sick run in the wind ending with a double whip to move himself up into 3rd place.

Superfinal

At the end of the 2nd run there was a 45 minute course hold due to the wind and then after a brief riders meeting the Superfinal got underway. First up was Martin Soderstrom who looked to be having a good run but blew it trying a 360 whip into the dish. Next up Sam Pilgrim threw a sick run that moved him into 2nd with 91.67. Yannick Granieri couldn't quite hold it together, and then it was Semenuk's turn. After Pilgrim's run he was in 4th place and needed something to get him on the podium. His run started with a flip off the drop and after a 360, barspin, flip whip, 3 x-up off the box, flip 1 footed x up and a double whip he moved into 2nd with 92.0 Cam Zink started off well but got blown a bit and ended up taking a safe run, giving Cam McCaul the win!
