Yost nailed all his flatspins and 720s in the competition in Toronto. He kept the coping tricks relatively simple this time around as well. He was giving skaters and photographers a preview of what was to come for the World Championships after the competition was over. Shane has been working on his technique. His after-hours sessions on the ramp are a real show.

Some other notables were Sam Fogarty's backside torque on the coping. That was sick and it was one of the things that landed him seventh. Unfortunately, Fogarty fell during his run, and that put a damper on his overall score. Fogarty is still heading to the World Championships ranked fourth in the world, and anything could happen down in Florida.
