(12.24pm) I’m down here at Darling Harbour in Sydney for the Mt. Dew ‘Battle for Supremacy’. It is… raining. Heavily. The guys running the show are telling me that there is a break coming in the weather and that it will take 20 – 30 minutes to dry the course and we’re going to see some skating. Most of the skaters have registered and it’s pretty much ready to go. The course looks rad – check it out in the photos above!

(12.35pm) Should’ve listened to Ollie…

Here’s the Sydney radar image right now …. All we need is for that shit to pass and we’re on…

(1:51PM) The worst of the weather is over us now and should be gone in 20 minutes or so. The course builders are setup to dry as soon as it passes. Check above for more photos… Some of the riders are getting restless and skating the slim dry patch under the bridge. Mapstone is manning the mic… More soon hopefully!

(2:24PM) While waiting for it to happen, I came across some awesome footage from this years Crossroads best trick comp. Check it out here.

(2:32PM) Bjorn Johnston, winner of the Melbourne Battle for Supremacy dropped by the media tent – unfortunately he’s injured and wont be competing today. He slammed a week ago which resulted in a shattered thumb that required surgery… Bit too much of a risk to head out, especially in these conditions. Still, Lewis Marnell and a few others have rocked up and the crowd is still growing. The only concern now is that the weather prediction is getting worse and worse…

(3:48PM) The Day After Tomorrow had nothing on this and unfortunately the Mt Dew Battle for Supremacy has had to be called off. The break in the weather never came and it would have been impossible to hold a proper comp. I’m bummed for the guys – they had an amazing setup together and it would have been awesome. There’s been a few guys pushing around and I’m sure there’ll be more shots from Steve by Monday. The contest will be rescheduled and put on in a few weeks time. Check back for the full wrap and more info on Monday.
