May 7, 1999 - Richmond, VA
Last year's X Games vert champion and runner-up reversed positions at today's vert contest with Matt Salerno skating solidly to first place followed closely by ASA World Champion Cesar Mora. Those top finishes will help push Matt and Cesar up in the ASA world rankings, but the real rewards went to Eitan Kramer and Shane Yost who clinched coveted spots to this summer's X Games in San Francisco. As the top two not-yet-qualified skaters, Eitan and Shane join Joe Ackler and Chris Edwards who qualified at the ASA Pro Tour/X Trials event in Louisville two weeks ago. |
