17:20pm: Kicking it all off with a 61.25 for Owen Marks.

17:24pm 75.75 for Timothe Bringer.

17:26pm: Thomas Genon is back and has a smooth run after injuring himself here last year. Finishes with a cash roll on the McGazza money booter for an 81.5, moving into the lead.

17:28pm: 19-year-old Lucas Huppert's tire just barely holds on but he finishes his run smoothly. 78.5 and he moves into second position.

17:32pm: Anthony Messere gets a 71.25.

17:41pm: Jackub Vencl with an 85! Takes over the lead - from the alternate list to the top spot - that has got to feel good. He wasn't sure if he would just be riding Speed & Style coming to Rotorua or if he would get into Slopestyle as well. A great start for the Czech rider from Prague.

17:45pm: Our second Lukas of the event, Lukas Knopf, with a 73.25... 6 riders to go in run number one of two.

17:48pm: A flawless run up until the last jump for Nicholi Rogatkin. Says he went short off the McGazza Money Booter, causing him to crash on the front flip tailwhip. It could have been a lot worse. Rogatkin says he has the same run planned for the second run, but plans to stomp that final jump.

17:51pm: Eject button on the Cork 720 for Alex Alanko. Uncharacteristic error from the Swede.

17:54pm: A 90.25 for Erik Fedko, moving him into the lead.

18:04pm: An insane run from Emil Johansson finishing with a 360 Windshield Wiper to finish, a trick he learned the trick this winter. Goes into the lead with a 96!! It's been three years since Emil finished a run here in Rotorua so this feels like redemption. Most tricks were triple combos. He now has the target on his back with just Tomas Lemoine left in the gate, and a second run for everyone else.

18:08pm: A great run from last night's Speed & Style winner Tomas Lemoine until he crashes with a hybrid cash roll on the last jump. He will focus on run #2.

18:09pm: After the first run it's:

1. Emil Johansson 96.00
2. Erik Fedko 90.25
3. Jakub Vencl 85.00
4. Thomas Genon 81.50
5. Lucas Huppert 78.50
6. Timothe Bringer 75.75
7. Lukas Knopf 73.25
8. Anthony Messere 71.25


18:27pm: And Alex Alanko starts things off with round 2.

18:29pm: Alanko makes it from top to bottom despite his slam in run 1. Ends with an opposite cork 720.

18:31pm: Great run from Tomas Lemoine. Right back up after his crash on the first run. Fixed mistakes from last run and landed his complete run top to bottom. Lemoine moves up to third place for now with a 88.25.

18:35pm: Dawid Godziek is up next.

18:36pm: A crash from Dawid Godziek. Luckily doesn't fall off the on/off box.

18:40pm: Rogatkin stomps the front flip tail whip on his second run. He'll be moving up in the results.

18:43pm: Rogatkin with a 93! Moves into second place for now.

18:49pm: Anthony Messere has a great run, doesn't land with his feet on the pedals on the last jump but rolls out. Doesn't move up in the rankings from his first run.

19:04pm: Thomas Genon, sitting in 6th place, goes down hard on the final jump. Worked so hard to get back from the shoulder injury, but looks like he may have injured his shoulder again as he touches his shoulder and shakes his head.

19:12pm: Victory laps all around. Final scores:

1. Emil JOHANSSON 96.00
2. Nicholi ROGATKIN 93.00
3. Erik FEDKO 90.25
4. Tomas LEMOINE 88.25
5. Jakub VENCL 85.00
