Quarter FInal
Eliminations:

Josh showed a quarterfinal run that
would probably have beaten anyone
anywhere - anyone but an on-form
Tom Pagès. So the reigning world tour
champion (and winner of the Athens
qualification) had to pack his bags
after the quarters.
“I was very happy with my run and
did it the best I could do it. The
qualification was a funny situation and
I was wondering if I should aim for the
number one spot or settle with less.
Now I can say it would have been
better to hold back a bit so I would
not meet Tom so early. The level of
riding is so high here, I will continue
to work harder and bring some more
new stuff.”

Dany Torres
Dany had a close battle against David
Rinaldo, and just missed out on his
chance to advance into the semi-finals.
“This week was amazing and it was
very special to ride in this special
place. I just did a little mistake, but
was happy with my run. Now it is time
to hit my foam pit at home to bring a
new trick for Madrid.”

Adam Jones
Adam was unhappy after losing the
quarter final against Rob Adelberg.

“I am happy about my run and felt
great, probably the best I could have
done. Me and Rob were close and Rob
had a good run, I have a lot of respect
for him but I think I should have won
that. I am a little upset about the
judging, but what can I do?”

Levi Sherwood

“I had a hard time in the qualifiers
yesterday but went out and did what I
wanted - Clinton just got the better end
of me. The riding level here was huge! I
am disappointed that I did not advance
to the next round, but that’s it.”

Levi faced a difficult quarter final
against the fancied Clinton Moore due
to his bad luck in qualification - and
the result was an early bath for the
Kiwi. He threw the Superman Egg Roll
as his newest trick, which simply looks
amazing.
