Men's Pro - heat 3

� As the sun was setting, it began to sit right along the sight line of coping, so Duncan rushed this heat along just in time to finish as the sun was in the worst spot. Due to that, there was another 30-45 minute break to allow the sun to go down out of the way before starting the finals. This heat, however, had some of the best skating so far. It included: Benji Galloway, Sergie Ventura, Jimmy "the Greek" Marcus, Steeve Reeves, Wes Meadows, and Dave Reul (who just pulled up at the park in time to enter and get his first run...no practice!).
