Freeride World Tour - 2020

Eder reminded me how much I miss him on tour.

Freeland's entry was hands down the best of the easier Hausl cliff emtries so that's where he got the most of his points. The rest of his run was meh, at best.
And my big disagreement is that I liked Hank's top portion better than everyone's. He took an untouched line and then was obviously playing with the sluff in a zone others were scared to go to. Despite the lack of a 3, it was the best top portion I saw.

Hank's top section may have been the most aesthetic top section with the sluff and the creative line, but the fact is it was much technically easier to ski and it was a lot less risk. That equals less points regardless of any other factors.

IT would be so awesome if hte ALta Utah boys went 1 and 2. This is looking very likely

[funkendrenchman]

Jacq Pollard side flops and gets hammered and gets roasted. Ari Tricoumi backslaps and wins. Pollards line and skiing was unreal. Robbbbbbed!

Tricomi makes winning look really difficult. Her arms out style is just painful to watch. Pretty much the opposite of Eder.

It’s a bummer Jess Hotter didn’t stick that backflip but love that she went for it. She probably could have done a straight air and won the comp. IMO she is clearly the best of the female skiers right now... just a very relaxed style, and yes, quite the opposite of Tricomi who makes it look harder, not easier.

Just want to add that the commentators were again solid. Derek is very good. Enthusiastic, knowledgeable and analytical. Without being overbearing on any of those fronts. And speaking of over bearing, Neil is much less so with Derek around.

That air at 0:22 was sick!

I liked the one at 1:00 as well. And I think it's awesome you all are debating the womens field runs, it seemed like a few years ago we were mostly skipping that part of the contest

I think it's pretty clear that the bar has been raised in that category. Very cool to see such a quick progression.

You would think not but this is still saying it’s going to happen. Article from 2nd March but says updated 14 hours ago. 3/4 of the way down this article with translation pasted below: https://www.lenouvelliste.ch/dossier...-valais-915060

« The Xtreme will take place anyway.

The Xtreme de Verbier, which as usual will host the final of the Freeride World Tour from 28 March to 5 April and will celebrate its 25th anniversary at the same time, is already certain not to see its party spoiled by the virus.

"The competition will take place anyway, even if it has to be organised without an audience," says Francine-Janet Moreillon, a member of the organisation. "We will in any case be able to count on a video production that will provide live coverage and can be broadcast worldwide. So the question of cancellation is not really an issue for the Verbier Xtreme, fortunately," she added. »

IFSA cancelled everything left on the schedule including several junior nationals and NORAMs. Crystal pulled the plug on us this morning as we were about to drop day 2 athletes.

[Vt-Freeheel]

Damn, was looking forward to this. Ladies have been on game lately and wanted to them perform. Oh well.

[SUPERIOR]

Fuuuck. I was so stoked to see the current leaderboard complete head to head. I can’t believe they canceled.
