It’s been a huge day over in the Skate park at Action Sports Games. Approaching Cyclone Olwyn rained out the Scooter qualifying that was scheduled for Friday 13th.
Saturday started with more rain, so qualifying for all three disciplines was further delayed.
Skate qualifying started at 1pm with the top 10 going through to the semi-finals, scheduled for 12:30 Sunday.
It was a close round of qualifying with a tie for first and 7th position
