We arrived back at Rodeo Hole and took a few practice rides before the competition started. We were allowed three thirty second rides. Variety counted more than replicating moves. I was in the beginner category (and was the only female) and James was in the advanced level. Who knows which category Dave was in…

James got a big air entry loop on his last ride. Dave got tonnes of blunts and spins. My entry loop attempt ended up as my signature move-a windowshade. I think I got a backstab though. Other competitors were throwing helixes, back loops, linked moves. Very immpressive to watch from the eddy. We headed back to camp and watched Sandra go off the Big Air Ramp. Timothy was pleased with his mum’s attempts!
