So it came down to the contest Fish vs Julien, old vs young. The first 3 tricks couldnt be laced by them. Fish tried to lace a full torque up the rail with 540 of and Julien tried a 540 savannah but those three couldnt be laced. Then Julien turned up and laced his signal moves, a corkscrew 900, 360 soul, 540 top porn and more. Fish had problems lacing his tricks, which is clear after a full day of skating and exhausting heats. His heat with Jojo was intense and he showed his skill for the crowd. So props to both!

The pairings for the half final were as follows

Fish vs Jojo
Julien Cudot vs Juul

Fish once again advanced pretty easily, however Jojo won the hammer award pretty much with this round. He tried to nail a disaster soul over the rail box and was clearing switchups with ease o the halfpipe. Since he was the only German left he defended his German Championship title.

Jacob tried to stop the 13 year old whirlwind Julien but couldn`t stop him, Julien had his tricks on the lowdown nailing corkscrew 900s and rail grinds. However Jacob nailed the crazy 540 top acid on the half pipe and also laced variations. Props for that!
