Despite some severely rainy conditions the qualifying rounds of the final stop of the Wake Park Triple Crown went down at OWC today. Thunderstorms and lightning strikes set delays in the riding all day long, but the competitors persevered and worked their hardest to make it through to the final rounds, which start tomorrow (Saturday) at 9:00 AM EST. With OWC installing several new Unit rails and kickers over the past couple years, including the freshly installed Silas Thurman signature pool gap, the park was ready for some serious shredding. Competition covers a wide range of riding with divisions for Amateur Women, Open Men, Amateur Obstacles, Pro Wakeskate, Pro Obstacles, and Pro Men. At the end of the day this is how the competition shook out. Be sure to head over to OWC on Saturday morning to see some of the best cable riding in the world. Judging by the riders who made the finals, you are guaranteed a good show (and the weather is supposed to be much nicer).
