La Leonera DH 2017 open his track this morning and we had the chance to do the last registrations at the top of the race track. The arrival of the riders with the “chiva” and the music all around gave a warm start despite the cloudy sky; we planned to have 2 warmup but once ready for the qualifications heats the rain starts to fall and everybody had a third practice on the wet.
With 2 rounds in the wet and the other 3 with a dry track, today 80 heats went down in La Leonera, with lunch break and a final freeride for everybody after the runs.
The crew behind the event WEPA Longboard count 35 persons and provided a pleasant day to all the riders: the qualification heats went forward till the last with no injuries and around there's a great excitement amongst the riders.
Douglas Silva got five 1st place getting into the top qualifiers for the Open class with Thiago Lessa and Renzo Tonello from Argentina, while for the women Sirley Tabares Builes from Colombia got the best on the race to qualify over Angie Duque and Luana Campos.
