Skateboarding

The stands were filled with incredible energy here in Sao Paulo for the semi-finals yesterday, overflowing the arena with a life of its own.

It seemed to take everyone’s skating to another level, fueling multiple nine clubs throughout the day. Brazil loves and supports its own like no other and even with Leticia Bufoni out with a foot injury, the crowd had plenty of amazing skaters to support. Home town favorites like Gabriela Mazetto, Rayssa Leal, Pamela Rosa and Kelvin Hoefler were on fire and all are moving into the finals today.

Another notable performance was had by Dashawn Jordan, who is in the 8th spot moving into the finals, and had several Nine Clubs of his own. If his attempt going up the rail yesterday is any indication of what the Super Crown Finals will be today, we are in for something special. Check below for all the details and be sure to tune in live on World Skate TV later today to watch the Super Crown Finals live!
