The day was marked by high quality skateboarding and a high technical level, especially in the more advanced categories, with the highlight being the senior men’s category which put on a show and thrilled the lovers of the sport who completely filled the Rodovia venue. The dispute for 1st place in the senior men’s category was very close, ending with the victory of Bruno Senra, who got the better of Gustavo Ribeiro who finished in 2nd place. Gabriel Ribeiro was 3rd and Jorge Simões occupied 4th position.
