With Logan Martin and Daniel Sandoval tied in points for the overall of the 2015 FISE World Series, all eyes were on both riders during the semi-finals which just took place on Langkawi island. Logan Martin's consistency in doing hard tricks all over the course got him in first place position with the finals coming up tomorrow. Late arrival Daniel Sandoval ended up getting 4th place right behind Alex Coleborn (3rd) and America's Jake Leiva who once again made a strong impression at the FISE World event. Not making the cut was Brandon Loupos. At the end of his first run the Aussie had a crash on his shoulder which left him out of the top 12 with a broken collarbone. Scooter crasher Daniel Dhers amazingly got on the bike today for the first time after his crash and ripped it up with scab wounds all over his body. His reward was 7th place. Ryan Taylor grabbed 6th and Kostya Andreev, who also had a nasty crash in practice, got 5th. Rounding up the top 12 were Alessandro Barbero in 8th, Bezanson in 9th, Nikulin in 10th, Irek  Rizaev (RUS) in 11th and Melnik taking the last final spot.

The Amateur BMX qualification event at the FISE World Series in Malaysia just took place and it was Rylan Kindness from Greenslopes coming out on top. The rider from Australia had the lines and the tricks to end up in first with a two point gap over fellow Australian Matthew Bassingthwaighte who was afraid his tire would blow up mid run but luckily it didn't. Kuala Lumpur's Zafrin Shah brought the tricks to the course to finish third in qualification on a hot day in Langkawi. With 12 riders making the cut tomorrow's finals will be interesting. Will the Panda be able to pull it off? Or is there someone among the finalists who has been holding back. With two runs counting towards an overall score we will know tomorrow who grabs the biggest check in the Am comp at the Fise World Series in Langkawi.
