Im Finale der Männer waren die beiden Kalifornier kaum zu stoppen, Es war ein ständiges hin & her und in den letzten Minuten schaffte es Colapinto mit einer Frontside Welle, dass mit man in naher Zukunft mit ihm auf der CT rechnen muss.

“It’s been a long time, I won my last event in a Pro Junior when I was 16 years old and it’s been like a burden on me. I had this weird intuition from the beginning of this contest that it was all going to come together and everything was feeling good. There’s so many people to thank; my parents are massive, my brother, my friends, my grandparents. I’ve just had such great support my whole life. They helped make me who I am today.”
