The second stop is done. I had a really cool line, but couldnt stomp my backflip at the top, but went after that for a huge and really sketchy cliff in the end. Just check it out...

"When speaking to the riders following the face check, many of them told us that they would probably avoid throwing tricks and instead focus on riding fast, smooth lines. However, that message didn't seem to get communicated to Basti Hannemann who set the tone for the day with a big backflip straight out of the gate. Although the young German came up short and crashed, he continued his line and finished it off with a fat 15- to 20-meter drop bringing the crowd at the mid-station to its feet. Basti told us, "At least I didn't take a sissy line like I did in Chamonix [last weekend]."
Yeah, think that was a really good revenge for the Chamonix comp... vids coming soon.
Cheers,
