The following is a trick write-up for the men's and women's finals of the 2003 Orlando Pro Tour stop at Cranes Roost Park on 4/12-13. The course consisted of a flat bar rainbow slider, a kicker and the big PVC A-frame. All riders are listed in the order in which they went off the dock.
Course note: In the middle of each second pass there were rollers on one part of the course due to some bounce back off the sea wall in the middle of the course. Some riders threw safe tricks during that part of their second pass.
