8th August 2007

The comps kicked off today with the pre qualifiers and qualifiers in the pipe.

The weather was pretty bluebird with some flat light coming in early in the afternoon. The internationals were riding hard and the slopestyle course was open for practise. Some massive front 10's went down and the standard was super high.

Tomorrow is the qualifiers for the slopestyle so no doubt it's going to be epic!!
