The
second day of action continued today at the Perisher Blue Resort in
Australia for the 2008 Burton Aussie Open as all remaining riders were
vying for a qualifying spot in Thursday’s semi-final and a piece of the
$50,000 purse.
 So as you can tell with that much as stake, the men’s
and women’s halfpipe got torn to shreds.
The men were first to drop into the pipe this morning under cloudy
skies, where 14 men were boiled down to six. Sage Kotsenburg (USA) took
the top spot in men’s halfpipe qualifications by putting down a solid
run that started off with a frontside 900 melon into a backside 540
mute, followed by a frontside 720 indy, into a switch frontside 720
mute, finishing with a stylish melon to fakie. Aussies Scotty James,
Samuel Murphy and Charlie Steinbacher, in addition to Chris Sörman
(SWE) and Marco Grilc (SLO) advance on and will be competing against
invited riders Mason Aguirre (USA), Danny Davis (USA) and Kevin Pearce
(USA), among others.
1 Sage Kotsenburg USA QUIKSILVER 90.00
2 Chris Sörman SWE BURTON 85.17
3 Marko Grilc SLO BURTON 80.17
4 Scott James AUS — 74.50
5 Samuel Murphy AUS — 73.67
6 Charlie Steinbacher AUS FORUM 55.67
