WSI Results

as of right now, all i know is that, kaya turski won qualifiers and sasha chernenkoff beat out sarah burke by getting 6th... kaya was doing bs switch ups on the down rail...
 
The rail jam was really bad I thought - the setup gave them very little scope for creativity. Bad for riders and spectators. I just got home from the Stompede finals, which wasn't too good either but I'll try to get some footage online tonight.
 
I was taking mostly video clips but got this one sequence of Candide. Someone else was throwing the same trick a lot smoother with a grab though.

No, just 270. Candide wasn't liking the course from what some guys told me. He was only hitting that rail and the C rail at the bottom, not even going for the box over the channel.
 
Actually, yeah it's a 630. I hadn't even looked at it properly - I wasn't paying much attention there.
 
speed was an issue for everyone, and candide was actually launching way big on that rail bu the transfert rail was not an option for anyone trying stufff on other features.
 
this is from the superpipe qualifier. taken from freeskier.com....

Andreas won - switch downhill 7s leading mute first hit all day, sick. I can't remember other placings but I thought Symms was riding really well all day, Jon was smooth as ever and Candide was going big.

Justin Dorey won the superhit comp afterwards stomping huge smooth allyoop right flat 5s, as big as Candide was throwing his regular flares. Colby West was trying 9s with double nose grabs, Symms was getting left side flares with some really nicely held grabs, Scott Hibbert landed a double backflip (I think) and Candide was thowing allyoop flares to the coping (on purpose) with a 360 back in. And Loic got a switch 10.
 
Doreys flat 5 was insane, i think the announcers said he was like 18 feet out. Haveit won, I forgot who was second, but dorey got 3rd. Oh and Hibbert attemped 3 double backflips, which was also insane
 
im glad to see jooner finally WIN something..it must be so satisfying after all the seconds and thirds lol
