p/s: I gave my place to the third placer in my heat Firdaus, so that I could concentrate on running things actually I chickened out, hehe didn't wanna get whooped in the finals.
Moving up to the final spot, the 'Atas' a monster of a venue with unfriendly huge gaps, evil kinky rails, steep as hell rails, huge ledge to gaps, a mellow rail that led right to the lake ( I kid you not). It was one of the illest sessions ever, with skaters feeding of each other's energies, doing things I've never seen them do or thought they would ever. Nazrul's freestyle alley-oop fishbrain made the hairs on the back of my neck stand, Bala did his trademark big ass drop over the stairs, Ezra confidently played all the obstacles like they were his bitches and Fauzan blessed and finessed everything he could see.
In the end of the day Fauzan with his royale all the way through the kinks that made him the champ. Ezra's switch-ups on the mellow lake rail got him second, and Nazrul's aforementioned alley-oop fishbrian made him third.
Prizes were given out by Rohan from Ballz followed by throw outs of stickers and caps courtesy of Roces and Skateline.
