Net voor de King of the Air was er de door Core georganiseerde XR5 Challenge in Kaapstad waar uitgenodigde riders zich konden meten met Big Air rider Joshua Emanuel.

The 5 winners of the XR5 Big Air Challenge 2017 were invited to Cape Town for the final boost off with world record holder Joshua Emanuel.

The conditions were insane and we saw all competitors sending it with huge boosts.
Even though it was close, the Big Air Beast defended his title and goes home with the win.
1st Place: Joshua Emanuel with 24.3m
2nd Place: Ben Van Der Burg with 24.2m
3rd Place: Erik Blokker with 23.6m
Well done to all competitors for your outstanding performance and contribution to the event.
