Teutonia, Brazil – Douglas Silva from Sao Leopoldo, Brazil laid down a blistering run on his home course that was a full three seconds faster than defending champion Kevin Reimer to establish himself as the clear favorite after the first day of qualifying.
The first day of the Malarrara Pro Teutonia World Cup was delayed by wet conditions that made the track unsafe until it dried. Unofficial speeds in excess of 70 mph were seen regularly once practice got underway in the world’s fastest downhill skateboard race. Competitors worked their way up the start first from two lower starts before running the course from the top. Due to the delays, the first run from the top was also the rider’s first qualifying run.
