The rebirth of the AFA association is here, Round 1 of the 2016 AFA series kicked off in Orlando, Florida. Huge props to Chad Degroot, James McGraw, Joe Cicman and everyone involved for pulling this one off. Today we have a sweet photo gallery from the event by Profile’s Matt Coplon. Enjoy the shots.

Dax Wolford made a huge impression in Orlando, taking a well deserved 2nd place with a flawless second run. Great action shot here mid hang 5 to halfpacker.

Isaiah Jordan made the trip down to Florida all the way from North Carolina, ending up tenth place at Round 1. Here caught mid Cliff turbine.

To this day, I never seen anyone else roll in this position. Scott Weaver is a beast, great to see him back on the contest scene. Knee 5 on his way to 5th place.

First time in a while Tyler Gilliard didn’t have far to go to compete in an event, and Tyler took home 4th place with a nice second run.
