Freeride World Tour Anyone? Live now...

pretty sure they try to have at least top 5 runs or so online by the next day at least. probably some sort of highlight video shortly thereafter
 
They'll for sure have a highlight video of top 3 if not top 5 runs. You missed out though on a couple HUGE 3's and a backflip that looked like the biggest air of the day.
 
Those guys are crazy. Both 360's and all those backflips where huge! Not to mention that they were on a huge face. I was pretty impressed by most of the runs. guys were sending drops over 30 feet. Does anyone know how steep that face is?
 
Very.

Some sick runs for sure. That three from Collinson was huge! It's just to bad he took it so easy on the rest of the run.

Tabke's line was pretty soft except for the massive air to stomp over all the exposure at the top of the venue. If he'd gone down there he would have gone for a ride like Kevin Guri last year. After that a smooth clean run with some solid hits was the icing on the cake really.

I have to say though, I'm a little disappointed that nobody got into the lookers left double with all the icicles on it that CJ sent 100 feet to his head last year. There was a winning line to be had in there for sure, but maybe with all the new snow it just wasn't worth risking the slough.
 
yeah dude i was getting really jealous thinking i might not get to see all these notable runs...bout to check it out!
 
John Collinson with the huge 3 and Seb with the huge Backie, and the crazy frenchman that went first hucked a massive attempt to his head.

M Ruta feeling you on nobody going into that zone. But last year I watched the first like 10 competitors go in there and they all ate shit and then cj almost died and people stopped going. Also last year they already where ranked I think? So The first guy to go was in last place and had a lot of make up and nothing to lose going huge where as this year everyone was on a level playing field so sticking a clean run like drew was what really counted rather then doing something insane. Run outs where fucked to with all the riders on the course at once. Feel sorry for the women skiers.
 
For sure understand the call to stay out of there. I've only skied that face once, but I poked into that zone a bit from the top and it's fuck off blind and the exposure made my head spin. Between CJ's near death last year, visual inspection, and those snow conditions, skiers right is a terrifying place. Definitely not criticizing anyone for sticking to the edge of it, but it would have been cool to see some new lines go down in there. It was a bummer to see so many people go down sticking to the beaten path.
 
Wille Lindberg ment go there I think. All I know is he got lost a bit, and ended up going really fast instead of hitting a huge cliff.
