Our Travel Judge Stefan Ebner comments on the placings as follows:

Last year’s winner at the Slovenian tour stop in Maribor, Jean Semann, managed to repeat his success this year at the brand new skatepark in Velenje. He killed the rails with bs 270 lipslide 270 out and an impossible lipslide on the bump to rail, kickflip fs boardslide on the small downrail and bigspin fs boardslide as well as another 270 lipslide down the big rail. Coming in second was his fellow polish countryman Filip Szalak with an effortless style and a great variety of tricks, an extremely buttery treflip over the pyramid and a massive Ollie up the stairset among them. Lenni Pfeiffer sent the treflip down the stairset, bs smith grinded the big rail and had a trick for almost every other obstacle of the massive skatepark, earning him third place. In the women´s category Weronika Choromanska took the win with great style and bangers like fs boardslide and feeble grind down the big rail.
