World Championships PARK Men s Semifinal

Up next we're just gonna pay attention to Taylor's landing spot coming out of his 540 in the deep end right here That determines the rest of his right now he has the speed to do that kickflip and he saw on his last run Loving that backside ollie down into the deep end changing that line up that's giving him access to get two hits Now this final stage just staying calm and finishing standing up tall Just below Keegan there 86.16 solid score there in in there in Luigi Sini on home turf I mean, it's gonna be a tough ask as we take it out back to Ken Suki We were saying earlier sometimes his extreme amplitude like that Hinders it but it seems to be working for him in this run. I don't know how he saved that body. That was like 10 feet high Getting it done this time Struggle with that on run number one keeping that speed into the hip Big nose grind that's really what holds this run together. I saw him struggling with that a little bit in quarters Thank you, he has two seconds left this last wall does count Wow I was thinking a little bit higher to be honest because it ticked all the boxes But hey, I'm not a judge. He just did use the last wall. See what happens It might be a big debate currently in second place number three for Keegan Palmer He gets one of the few guys that if he's overcooking and pumping too hard he skates better, yeah Whenever I see him calm down too much. I get a you start biting my fingernails Huge alley-oop getting over to that extension. It's a long way to get there Keep the speed up for the five Get a slight over rotation last run on this front 270 I think he's gonna clean it up and have a little more speed this time in the deep end Such a drifting line there, but huge kickflip indy over the box Kipping it from feeble through the corner. Here's something you will not see anyone else doing this contest. Oh, he switched it for a kickflip 45 seconds on the clock straight back in as we saw him start before I Wonder if everybody's gonna scream for him as he goes over the pump bump Huge boneless on that bank wall, honestly, that's one of my favorite parts of his run There's a nose bone on that boneless as well, which shows pure skill Out to backside tailside. There you go. He's got past where he was here for Pindy And you know what the big part of the run right? Here's a tre flip kickflip indy this time Five over the hip to back lip But is he gonna do another tech trick Do you know what? I think what he's doing right now far away from the top score Yeah, he would have liked to be a bit higher be okay. He's gonna get straight back in 45 seconds on the clock Dan Sabino There we go. It looks like he's gonna vary all that round every time he catches it Body barrel five as well Boosting over into that extension Dan is absolutely flying right now and it's that true Wow That he's putting the cat amongst the pigeons he's taking a way different line than everyone else Well, maybe the same path but in a much different order and it actually changes things up a lot Well, the thing is it's not just about the trick itself is how you get there with the speed to do it He's going really fast. He's doing incredibly hard tricks. He's skating great right now Such a weird one You never see that It looks like an accident. Yeah, where's he gonna adjust? How can he improve that to stand out? Let's get into Gavin We'll touch on that when we get back to Dan. Oh It's a big chicken wing Huge Madonna, you hear that tail clacking on the way in And this is where Gavin is actually so strong in this ball because the size of the transitions I think fit is skating really well a big backside tail slide And it's things like that body variable backside disaster, you know, nobody else is doing that out there Keeping the line going no comply tail slide the judges know how Hard it is to not mess that trick up This is a much better run than he was coming off of quarters with beautiful frontside invert that There it is the classic that's gonna get renamed the gavel surely Okay, so where do you predict that to go if he upgrades on the last trick with a chance to mess with Keegan? Okay, Tom Shaw dropping straight in tail grab five over that is absolutely bonkers It's too small surely Tom's the biggest guy that has great control on small transitions So it looks great. It feels great. His power is So impressive and the way he can do things like that only up to frontside tail slide It's a long way up there. A lot of people seem to buy time in the flat bottom between tricks But it looks like Tom when he's in the air, that's when he relaxes. That's when he resets That comes from a long history of skating mega ramps while growing up. You just have a better sense of being in the air To see it off So just below Keegan there and I think it's gonna come down to that last trick upgrade right it go it's the quest got So much speed on the roll in there That's that big gap in the middle of the course that I was talking about that Gavin bit of a crouch on the 540 Didn't get much practice but straight in with that backside tail slide shove it that we know him so well for so It's has one run, right? A lot of these guys have a safe run in a harder run But he go it's a safe run is just as hard run, but he seems to squat it a little bit Yeah And I think that's his version of making it safe And I think if he were to just decide to stand up on his first run and go for it like that He could actually add more later into contests loving that revert there. Oh, wow This is completely different than we're seeing from anyone else in a fakie seven as well And look he made the seven he thought the run was over in Spain And he go it's on the men's side and I last saw the women's 87 point one two. I where do you think his mind is having seen what's already happened? I actually think he's doing a great job focusing on his first trick Foot position was there for size. I think a bit of that would be nice. Okay, Kiefer Wilson Straight back in Tickling the tail there Going over the rail into the Red Bull wall and then doing a kickflip onto the bank man is insane the Disaster as well mixing it up getting several flip grabs in and getting on the coping as well It really does take those boxes doesn't it? Kiefer's really strong at doing these small adjustments with his feet on the board to set up for tricks without doing too much Back-to-back tricks there. That was a quick fire round back on nice grab 360 Very well-timed very well thought out and score there for Kiefer sees him in fourth place
