We catch up with Harry Clarke and Pepe Laporte to hear how the Arirang Hill 2018 Finals went down, and give a photo recap of the finals.
Day Two qualifications began with yesterday's fastest qualifier, Chase Hiller, breaking his ankle on his first run. With Chase out of the picture, fellow Coloradan Daina Banks pipped him by one-hundredth of a second to take the top qualifying spot in Open Skateboard.
We caught up with Chase Hiller, the standout rider from Day 1 of Arirang Hill 2018. A strong field of 95 riders from 20 countries assembled here in South Korea for the last race of the Asia-Pacific tour.
In 2017 Arirang Hill took us all by surprise.The technical nature of the race track, the infrastructure, and the support were all world class. The event organisers' have promised bigger and better in 2018. We aren’t sure what more they can do, so we sat down with Areum Jung of the ISCA to find out what the team in Korea have been up to.
Race day in Moon Rock WQS was a bit affected by the weather. Some rain drops fell in the morning right after the Open Skateboard B bracket and although the track became soaked in the first section, it remained dry at the finish line.
Despite there being rumors about potential rain today, the sun was shining as usual here in the Philippines. The morning started with a few practice runs as "warm up" for the riders and then 4 timed qualifying runs each.
As common in the Philippines, we had a very chilled morning here in Moon Rock WQS. The lack of Police on the track in the morning made created a slight delay before we could start with official practice runs.
