So, after a big party in Chamonix last night we went straight, without sleeping & still drunken to the cable station of Flegere... haha just kiddin' :-)
But honestly it was very early... Torgrim, Reine and me hat a short sleep cause we were inspecting the pictures of the face for a long time the evening before...
After a solid first comp at the Brevent I was looking for a kind of winning line... I chose a sweet drop at the top and a massive cliff at the bottom, where I planned a backflip!
The problem: very huge, windblown landing, pretty flat landing and a sketchy takeoff.... yessss.... go for it!
As you can imagine i wasn't totally sure bout my line, but I remembered JT Holmes words at the top: "Do it like the post office... send it" hahaaaaa
And no... i didn't send it! ;-)
I missed the the sketchy takeoff of the huge cliff a bit and didn't get enough rotation for the flip. I still landed on my feet, but had to much weight on my nose... and exploded. Both bindings ejected immediately, my sticks broke, the helmet cam flew away and the !abs airbag! ejected.
No I definately didn't send anything today... but i had definately the biggest drop of the day :-)
Julien Lopez won the comp, in front of Candide Thovex and Henrik Windstedt/Seb Michaud, both placed 3rd.
Julien Lopez with an awesome winning run:
My run with helmet cam:
So I just arrived in Augsburg, will stay there for 2 days, then heading to ISPO in Munich, after that to St. Moritz for the Engadinsnow...
Take a look the next days for more news....
Cheers,
