Kogelburg, South Africa: Day 2 was welcomed with damp tar and gloomy clouds with a threat of rain. After a few drops came down, the sun was out to dry up the hill and the clouds decided to part for qualifying day. The stoke was pretty high as riders fine tuned their strategies from knowledge gained at practice runs the previous day.
