Courmayeur Review

The best riders on the best mountains in the ultimate freeride competition - the 2012 Swatch Freeride World Tour goes into its 5th season and consists of six (6) stops in Revelstoke (Canada), Chamonix-Mont-Blanc (France),  Courmayeur Mont-Blanc (Italy), Røldal (Norway), Fieberbrunn (Austria) and the final in Verbier (Switzerland).

Heyy guys,
so back from Courmayeur and I’m still pretty disappointed. Had a good line, skied pretty good and ended up 12th. But the level of riding is so high that small mistakes like the backseated landing I did at a double cliff make the difference. To be honest, I’v never seen such an amazing comp. Just 3 crashed and 19 perfect runs, where everybody could win.

FWT Chamonix Review

first_drop

Well, I got 13th in Chamonix, had a really good top section, but slowed down after… what u shouldn’t do if there are so many good riders. A bit disappointed but i have my next chance on thursday in Courmayeur… and i’m still 9th in the overall ranking.

My line…

Congrats to Sam Smoothy who won in Cham with a really sick double, stomping every landing in his run. Tom Leitner finished 8th with a really creative line and a nice corner jump in the end!

And we’v a new venue which faced more east that the last one…

I finished 9th overall (7th in the FWT ranking) with a solid final run. Probs to Kye Petersen, who stomped three 360° in 2 runs and skied super clean and smooth!

FWT Day 1

Well,

Day 1 is finished and i had a pretty sweet run… jumped a big double and had a fluid run. Riding level was awesome, so I’m pretty stoked that I’m 3rd in the Freeride World Tour Ranking and 8th in the overall ranking (Freeride World Tour & Freeskiing World Tour) out of 50 rider after day 1. Besides that I’m the only european rider in the top 10!

Unfortunately Tom Leitner (Massive Cork 3) and Gri Reichenberger (Big Drop & sweet backy) didnt make it… bummer!

Check the results below:
