Slater showed everybody that hes definitely considering rounding off that world title collection to an even number 10 this year. First heat of the first comp and Jimmy Slade went apeshart, doing his usual heat dominating routine that allowed him to smoke everybody throughout the late nineties. Its is worth mentioning that his opponents were Benn Dunn and Marco Polo. Dunn is a young, lanky ripper who seems to have gone stale the last year or two but still rips. Marco Polo on the other hand looked like he could easily get put out in the early rounds of a FL Esa contest. Slater posted the highest heat total of round one and definitely looked more in form than anybody else. Go to the link below and then find heat # 5, i'd also recommend checking Fannings heat, it was low tide and draining by then and Micktory gets a sick pit in his heat.
