He will be heading to Johannesburg on June 26, 2011 to compete against other participants selected from four qualifying events across South Africa as part of the largest international event for amateur manual skaters.
“I’m so stoked to be going to Johannesburg for the final. The level of skating in the final was really high it could have gone to anyone. I’d love to get the trip to New York, but for now I’m focused on the final next week.”
