Matt Wilkinson Whips Rodeo, Keramas, Indonesia
It’s a lay day today at the Oakley Pro, Bali. Only two heats ran yesterday: In the first, Pulu Hermawan beat Brett Simpson to become the first Indonesian to win a World Tour heat. In the second heat, a sequence of precise Wilko whips ousted an understandably exasperated Kolohe Andino. Throwing hair and caution to the wind, here we find Wilko spinning a rodeo (unlanded) as Brother observes from the back. Tour life is polarising, and the Top 34 live and breathe every win, every loss. When tossed his opponents jersey after the siren, Wilko slung it around his neck and belted three to the black. Was it a choice of pure function? Or an exhibition of his freshest scalp? -Rupert Partridge
