Inline Street Finals Recap :
With a little techno coming from the tent on the right and a little house music coming from the tent on the left and some good old rock & roll blasting through our speakers, the inline street final was going off. Skaters came from all over Europe to compete: Samo Bajec from Slovenia, Chad Sands from Scotland, Anderson da Silva from Brazil, Nicolas Schopfer from Switzerland, Stephane Alfano & Mathias Silhan from France and Borja Fernandez from Spain, just to name a few.
There were three women too: Fallon Heffernan, Jenna Downing and Fabiola da Silva. Fab started it off with a nice top acid down the double barrel rail while Jenna went for a 900 on her second run but washed out on the landing. And so, it was all Fallon. On her first run, she had a horrific fall from the 5ft. wall onto the deck then a six foot fall to the pavement. She bounced back up and shook off the first run. On her second run, she came out tough and nailed an alley oop topside acid off the ¼ pipe to the five foot extension, the same trick she got rocked on in the first run. She added a sweet 540 over the box and a true mizu for added effect, and it all proved to be gold.
