New this year is a category rewarding tricks and style. So naturally, a “money booter” was constructed on the bottom of the Day 1 venue. Inverted corked 720's, 360's, and backflips entertained the hundreds of sunburned spectators below. Due to the new criteria, many scores nearly reached the perfect 50 points. Drew Tabke, “the flyin’ Hawaiian,” scored a 46— one of the highest earned in years. Wild card entry Sage Cattabriga-Alosa stunned all by throwing a backflip and right and left side 360's. Commentator Frankie closely observed the high scores, remarking that the judges were “giving out 40s like a clerk at 7-11.”
