After Alex won the singles it was a big surprise who was going to win the tour this year. Aaron knocked out in the third round couldn´t manage his way up because Youri just left him at fourth place. So then the championship was between Youri and Kevin - Kevin won this one very closely and automatically reached what he wanted for so long. Congrats! Alex keeping his win in the doubles may show how high the level rose this seasen!
My heats has been alright - won the first two ones and then had a really close one 2/1 decission against Tom Hebert. Could land KGB blind, Frontmobe blind, Double Sbend pass and three switches but unfortunately he got more switch ones. Still happy with my 9th place and the price money, I will cure my ankle for the last days. It already got better - will be perfect for my next trip!
Yesterday we started with the comp at 10 o´clock and finished the whole single. Right in front of my heat I put some ice spray on my food and I managed to land some good stuff like Double SBend pass, Frontmobe 5, Mobe wrapped and three switch ones.
In the second round I had to go against Alex Pastor who was on fire. In the beginng I crashed and had to swim for my board. Meanwhile I saw Alex nailing some sick ones. Thant´s why I decided to rest for the double and rest my ankle.
Alex had the run of his life - going all the way to the top! In the semi final Kevin took out Youri and Aaron has been nocked out one round before by Alberto Rondina. Kevin and Alex did pretty sick in the final and for the first time Alex won the singles.
Let´s see who it goes for my today - still feel my ankle a bit but it will be alright.
Ten timezones and nearly 40 hours later I arrived at my hotel. The flight was pretty ok - could sleep a long time from Frankfurt to Singapur and on the one to Sydney. The first day I just went out to get warm again after three weeks of Germany. I´ve been out a few times at home, but there you care more about getting back the feeling in your fingers than landing some new tricks…
Just on the first day of our North shooting - doing my first trick for the cam - I hurt my ankle. It´s not too bad but still hurts a lot on the landings. Today we had a helicopter and managed to get some nice shots of Cesar, Reno, Thoma, Angela and me. We went straight out to an island where we shot in nice glassy water.
Tomorrow the competitions starts…so let´s hope my ankle gets better untill then. If it hurts to much I will rest this last competition and just come back full on next season. I will keep you updated who will be worldchamp in 2009.
