Pro flat will take two hours with practise time to allow for. Pro flat qualifying was followed by am finals, and an epic Haro freestyle show, you had to be there!!! Electric atmopshere…

As the title says, pro flat qualifying just started an hour ago, with yours truly on the mic, so far great runs from Martti Kuoppa, Raphael Chiquet, Viki Gomez, so good to see Martti shut it down, hes got that eye back. More news later, if rain stops we will be running qualifying right away, if not, who knows?

The rain arrived as expected, the organisers were going to the hold the contest under the bridge by the duirt jumps, the riders voted against ity, so we all convoyed to Mike S’s local spot near the Hyatt hotel… No mic, no music, just alex jumlein, myself and mike s judging and hollering..64 riders, and freezing cold, im off for a sesh to warm up..
