Getting a hard post from a Tampa Pro judge the day before the contest starts is a good sign. When it's from the notoriously critical Tim O'Connor, you're looking really good.

And we don't blame Tim. A kickflip frontside nosegrind pop in on transition is tough. But the selling point here is how long he grinded for before popping in. And the pop in was smooth, no lunch break on this one.
Is that Tim's excited yelp at the end too?
