Thalgau, Austria - for the second year in a row, Canadian Mischo Erban has earned the number one qualifying position for the Rock & Roll World Cup. Last year he was dominating the event until he suffered a solo crash while leading in his semi-final heat.
Erban came back to win the Consolation Final and earn fifth place last year. He's determined not to make the same mistake twice and hopes to stand on the top tier of the podium tomorrow afternoon.

After nearly a solid week of rain, sunny skies finally returned to Austria. The Downhill skateboarders were forced to cram both qualifying runs into the single day along with the second run for each of the other disciplines.
