What a blast today. The typical heat didn't miss us, but we won't remember this day for the heat, but for the hot finals we had.
Wind tail or front wind? This one was the main dilemma of the day here at Seaside 2018. We started as usual around 10am with some practice runs and it was pretty windy for the whole time making crucial the decision about when to send it down the track.
Sun, smiles and ice creams while watching the sea, we had definitely a warm welcome this morning in Cavite for the Keeping it High Seaside 2018. All the riders landed on the island in Manila city and yesterday the United Stoke crew organized all the transfers from the airport to the race track.
There are only 2 WQS in the Asia Pacific region and they are less than 10 minutes from each other. Keeping It High will be on its 3rd straight year of taking its part on the world tour, the Philippines will be hosting both WQS.
With nothing but a board between them and the pavement, downhill skateboarders hurl themselves down mountain roads at breakneck speeds with one goal – to cross the finish line first.
Thiago Lessa won Newton's today in a final where only 0.37 seconds separated first from fourth. Forest Elbow confirmed its reputation as the most dangerous corner on the world circuit, claiming a series of victims; Daniel Engel never recovered from his crash there in qualifying, Kyle Wester went out there in the second round, and Emily Pross and Carlos Paixão succumbed in the quarters.
