    They need to have that RedBull presentation for every event. Now that's more like it. Anyone know how steep the average pitch of the Bec is? In lower tide conditions that was seriously nasty.

    Bec is like 45-50 deg and exposed as hell. Hitting 40-footers in the top section like Ducroz and Barkered is a truly serious shit.

    IIRC mostly low 40s, a couple of steeper parts up top 45+, steep enough it's possible to tomahawk top-to-bottom. Lookers left (dog-leg side) is not so bad, lookers right (darkside) obviously much nastier.

    Aurélien Ducroz winning runs.
    George Rodney was 12 when Ducroz won for the first time. A new generation on the same mountain.

    formerly an ambassador for a few others, but the ski industry is... interesting.
