Ian Parsonson, CEO of Hexis Australia said that it was great to see the enthusiasm of all attempting the Battle, we had students from TAFE who had never touched vinyl, others who had never tried Hexis and also some "experts" all trying it out.
There was an even mix of male and female competitors. The final went right to the wire and was very difficult for our international judge from Hexis France to split them apart, a quick loan of a tape measure from Yellow Tools helped as it was that close. Everyone commented it was a lot of fun and different from other demos and competitions they had seen.
There was a great spirit amongst the competitors as everyone embraced the competition, it was great to see and we look forward to Sydney in September for the next round and the eventual final for the prize of a trip to France for the winner.
A huge thanks from all of us at Hexis Aust Pty Ltd to our trainers and judges, Rocco Zippo all the way from Switzerland, Clayton Witney Gold Coast, John Papadopolous Melbourne and Ben Schliebs Brisbane for helping make this a successful event. To all our customers and visitors thanks for stopping by and we look forward to seeing you all in the near future.
