Porpe and I were up here sweating bullets as the last few Jams' scores came in and Jereme was hanging on the bubble of the cut the whole time. He made it! Tomorrow he's matched up against Tyson Bowerbank in the head to head battles for the Finals.

Alana won the Mini Mega Best Trick Contest with this first ever backflip on it done by a female skateboarder. That backside air to follow up was legit. Damn, I didn't know Alana had it on the Mega like that, too.

That crowd reaction when Nassim edged out Nyjah in the second round by just a few points was insane. They almost brought all the tents down. Here's the recap of the ripping in the Finals of the Skateboarding World Championships at Kimberley Diamond Cup in a new episode of On The Boardr. I've also got a camera dump below.
How Nyjah Huston Lost to Nassim Guammaz in South Africa

Half way through the 3 minute jam, you could hear the crowd getting more and more live as it became apparent that Nassim had a chance of beating Nyjah in their first head to head bracket. Then the crowd started chanting for Nassim. After the last minute of the jam with both skaters getting in their bangers, it was Nassim on top by just 1.33 points to advance. When it was announced, the crowd went nuts. Nyjah smiled and congratulated Nassim for knocking him out of the brackets. In the end, Kelvin who didn't have to skate against Nyjah because of that, ended up winning the $100k. The tricks here are just a small sample of what went down. HiDefJoe is only one person filming these two rippers.
