Stressing competition times are over and here is a more relaxed episode with some muggle skiing, some freeride and a great big air session in Val d'Isère.
After a quite intensive half pipe period, we just want to "ski" and have some simple fun ! We started with a muggle lesson at the sports club of la Plagne to try another univers. At least they go olympic, they do...
Then we went for some powder slaying in the afternoon with Julien Regnier and Chris Booth, and we ended on a kicker session at Val d'Isère with all the frenchies. A lot of good memories to keep since it is the first park session we really have had this winter... Contests, contests, contests...
X Games trainings by the FollowUs.tv crew !!
Aspen, Colorado. One year after Xavier killed it in the super pipe, we are here to make it happen again and even better, we would like to be both on the podium this time.
We trained in the pipe of snowmass and I crashed on the second day: a trauma, a broken noze and a shoulder that hurts... My self confidence was hurt quite a bit too, especially with the competition coming!
After two weeks of resting, the X Games pipe opened. It is really hard to ride it. All the riders are scared because it is really icy due to water they poured on the walls to preserve the snow. (It is the same system used for slalom slopes...) Mike Riddle was the first to hit the pipe and he crashed on a double, twisted a knee but he is fine now! (his ligaments must be different from ours...) Then Simon crashed really badly on the coping on a double, his head knocked hard on the ice, but he will also be there for the qualifiers, no problem...
Xavier Bertoni, Justin Dorey et Tucker Perkins are the first to really defeat the pipe. But what is really impressive this year is what's going on in the slopestyle! FYI Bobby Brown goes from tricks to tricks with a switch unat bio 9,double corck 12,switch double bio 12, and I'm not joking....
We can feel the level increasing day by day. The show is going to be amazing in both the pipe and the slopestyle !
We are lucky because except from AJ Kamppainen, Shaun White, and his direct opponent for the Olympics Danny Davis, the pipe is empty. Kevin improves his unatural double, meanwhile I work on my flat 3, Switch 1000.
Second stop is Snowbasin, a small resort an hour away from Park City. There is a very tiny pipe (17 feet) but it is well shaped. The slopestyle is not really impressive too: 3 rails and 3 small kickers. And the lifter takes ages to go up! So we all do the same, we go up by walking! We all get use to it and it is good for the planet ! Simon Dumont is at his best and we can see it during the trainings. Jossi Wells is doing one run in the pipe and one in the slopestyle, one right after the other without resting... How does he do that?
For the qualifiers, Kevin takes the second place right after Justin Dorey whose run is clean and technical. The finals start with 2 hours of traning (that is when we stopped being eco-friendly and used the skidoo...) Peter Olenick is impressive with his Alleyoop flat 5... It smells like double here !! Indeed few runs later he tries the double and crashes on the coping... He got back on his feet and stomped it during the finals... How does he do that?
Kevin falls in his first run on his unat double. During his last run, he is not spinning far enough on his unat double and lands it on the ass. For my part, I crashed my double during the trainings and I can't finish my run. Jossi stomped a beautiful run and wins the pipe. Follows Simon and Peter. How do they...
3rd and last stop: Aspen is where we're heading now, to go visit the big XGames' pipe. We have a lot of work to do...
