4.10pm: Canada's Brandon Semenuk (world no.2) has soared to the top of the standings after the first round. The judges have given him a 94.33 for his unbelievable run. Last year he crashed out of contention at this event, so will be rapt with himself. Unfortunately, world no.3 Nicholi Rogatkin had his tire go flat on his run, and didn't make it to the finish.
