Well, exciting, interesting, something like that.
That said, the level of skiing was bonkers.
Sunshine and great conditions greeted the riders though and the event was definitely a show to remember.
Flora Tabenelli just snuck a switch dub 10 safety around, but it was a little short too.
Enough for 79 but the judges clearly wanted to see more amplitude.
Is she unbeatable right now?
Speed had turned up a notch, with Anouk in particular going absolutely huge.
The points dock down to 53 for a tiny hand drag seemed very harsh.
Rell Harwood put down a slightly loose switch bio 10 japan for 75.
Megan put down a right switch dub 10 safety for 91.75 and the lead.
Tess crashed on a dub 12 tail, leaving the pressure on for run 3.
The third run for the women was a tense one.
Anni absolutely laced a dub 10 mute.
Enough for provisional third, unlikely to survive to the podium, but it was beautiful.
Tess Ledeux had it all to do on jump 3, and she couldn’t put it down.
That left the podium door wide open.
Flora T went huge on a switch dub 10, how she rode that out I don’t know.
Enough to improve, but not enough to unseat Megan Oldham, who got a victory lap.
Almost identical scored were a bit weird given the grab difficulties but by the by.
Noah Porter MacLennan sent a 19 stale, was it a double?
Answers on a postcard.
He got 90.75 for it though.
Matej put down a switch triple 18 bolts, safety… would the judge reward him today… 95.25!
Judges called tailbutter, but was it?
Dylan Deschamps went triple 18 mute, stomped it on the last line for 92.
Luca Harrington stomped right triple 18 but the landing!?
That one will live in the head rent free for a while but 91 is the score.
Julius stomped again putting down a left triple 16 safety for 80.
Two solid scores is always a good start.
NPM put down a switch dub 18 stale… 61?
Didn’t look that bad on first viewing.
Matej greased again, nosebutter triple 19… almost nollie actually, properly wild.
95 and a pretty much guaranteed win.
Luca Harrington put down his trademark switch triple 16 esco, banger.
94.25 seemed fair and his landings, my god.
Going into run three, it was going to be difficult for anyone to unseat Matej from top spot.
Konnor Ralph put down the exact same forward trip 18 mute but laced.
Enough for 90 and provisional 3rd.
Julius Forer has a fantastic moustache and a crazy switch dub bio 18 japan.
Same direction as the first trick though so no real improvement.
91.75, good but not enough for podium.
Matej victory lap aaand insane switch front.
Trick of the day?
