Some highlights from semi-finals:
JP going bigger than anyone over the "road gap" with a backflip almost into the flats. Jossi, despite finishing last, was the only rider who skipped the hip jump and tried to make something out of the giant cement wallride on the side of the course. Last years winner, Charles Gagnier, had some trouble landing his run clean, but could easily be on the podium if he puts it together in finals. Phils run was right 450 over the hip, left rodeo 5 over the jump, switch left 5 over the road gap, and 270-switchup-450 out on the box. Look for Phil to add something more tech to his run on that box to hopefully get on the podium!
