Mother Night 8B flash by Pol Roca Lopez
"It was strange, I had no intention of doing flash but everything flowed and I was able to do it! 100% of my style and the friction and temperature were perfect. After warm-up in another sector I saw the video of Diego Cameroni and just put chalk and tried it.
Power of now, I did it in three sessions. The first was to look for all the methods and I had one good attempt falling to the top but in the first step I broke the skin on the palm of my hand and I had to stop for two days. In the second session I had just two tries falling on the last move and I felt the same in my hand and I had to rest two more days. During the third session, I was able to do it on the first try after warm-up!"
