It was a pretty big change of vibe from but another insane display of skiing.
The live performance from Ferg just prior to the drop definitely built the hype.

Run 1:
Ben Harrington opened the event with a high octane run.
Nico Porteous brought the (first ever?)
switch dub 14 to play but had a couple of issues through the run which killed his score.
Blunck sent 5 dubs again, cleaned up his grabs and took the lead.
Birk stepped up his final hit to an alley-oop flat 10 but had grab issues higher up the pipe.
David Wise finally put it down in run three.
HIs downpipe 10s and dub flats are as good as it gets.
Noah Bowman went massive and just ran out of pipe.
It looked like an improvement on his third run to us but didn’t improve his ranking.
Nico Porteous is pipe’s version of Alex Hall, ice-cool under pressure and ridiculously good.
