Brothers Muhammad Feroze and Farris Bin Abdul Rahman pulled off a one-two at the Skateboard Street XGA Qualifiers in Shanghai.

It was an afternoon of thrilling stuff, but clearly, Feroze was head and shoulders above the rest. Scoring 87.00, the 20-year-old beat second-placed Tomas Vintr by a margin of over five points, as the Czech scored 81.67 in the KIA X Games Asia qualifying event.

The Singaporean was grinning from ear-to-ear after the win, and was pleased at how his last trick during his last run went.

"It was probably my last trick with a kick-flip backtail that did it", Feroze said.

On the other hand, younger sibling Farris, who placed third overall with 81.33 points, felt that his own overall fluidity made the difference.

"Overall, all my tricks looked far more fluid than some of the competition, who tried big tricks but couldn't follow up after", the 16-year-old said.
