The Harlem Team dominated the skies at the GKA Gran Canaria battle

From legends to young guns, the Harlem team dominated the skies at the gnarly arena of Salinas de Tenefé during the second and final stop of the GKA Big Air World Championships. With a powerhouse team of five absolute legends, it was evident from Day 1 that this squad is here for the win, resulting in not one, but two podium finishes, and a show worth watching over and over again. 

History was made as brothers and Harlem teammates Lorenzo and Leonardo Casati both competed in the final battle for the podium. Former King of the Air, Lorenzo, once again confirmed his dominance in the world Big Air scene. Until the last minutes, he was confidently leading the heat with impeccable consistency, style, and extremity. A mere 0.67 points separated him from first place, as Jeremy Burlando overtook him moments before the final buzzer, leaving Lorenzo with the Vice-Champion title, and third in the overall world rankings.

In his first Big Air season, young gun Leonardo Casati secured his spot in his very first final after leading a jaw-dropping semi-final against five-time World Champion and teammate Aaron Hadlow, and World title contender Jamie Overbeek. The 15-year-old wowed the jury with incredible technical skills, extremity, consistency, and unbreakable confidence against world top riders, proving he is one to watch in the coming years.

In the women’s division, Slovenian powerhouse Lana Herman was on fire.

The G.O.A.T., Aaron Hadlow, spiced things up in the quarterfinals. Powered by his new, soon-to-be-released weapon of choice, the legend showcased some short line moves, big loops, low kite angles, and a real show for the crowd.

Harlem rider Clement Huot showed real determination in his quarterfinal heat, impressing the crowd with extreme moves and height. Though he didn’t make it to the semis, the Frenchman is now more motivated than ever to return to the competition arena and show us more of what he’s got.

As the GKA World Tour comes to an end, we couldn’t be prouder of the stellar team. From the greatest legends to the young rising stars, the Family showcased pure talent, skills, and determination, claiming two trophy finishes and making Harlem once again the only brand represented on both the men's and women's podiums. 

Watch out, world, as we are set to change the tide. 

Mark your calendars for July 18th for the release of this game-changing evolution that dominated the skies in the hands of Aaron, Lorenzo, Leo, and Clement atthe Gran Canaria arena.
