thanks!!!

He have covid

He was robbed, not COVID

We've got two more competitions this season!

@@FISFreerideWorldTour Cool. Looking forward for this events. Opened FWT for myself in this season and consider this competition very exciting.

his line score woulda been really low, and all the other scores are based off that, so even though he did 2 sick backflips and skied in full control, his score has a ceiling much lower than some of the other riders

@@elimayer1237 He has a 10 point diff with other riders that fell. Get real.

bruh what did he do that was so spectacular?

Think it's more pronounced because of the god-awful conditions here. Even the men's snowboarding category looked weak at this event. Too bumpy and icy, nightmare conditions for a snowboarder. At least on the skis you can hit the big features and absorb the bumpy run offs. Honestly this is the worst FWT event I've ever seen, the conditions were so bad I'm surprised they even went ahead with it. This is coming from a snowboarder, I love back country but I would not touch this run in these conditions lol.

@@homedogoli yeah of course conditions were shit, but i see it like that for a longer time now. Even with good conditions the runs cant convince me. I belive they have a tight time schedule, so when the Ozone face got unridable, they didnt really have alternatives. But i agree, the face wasnt worthy for such a competition, on the other hand still better than nothing🤷‍♂️

@@larifari1812 Think that's just how it is with back country, the strength difference really shows. Not easy to stick those landings even in decent conditions. And yeah better than nothing I guess! They could have postponed for better conditions but maybe that wasn't a possibility.

Like in the last natural selection event, you could really see the fatigue kicking in with the women's category. A few of them could barely stand by the end of the day!

FWT could learn a thing or two from Natural Selection. Go further back country in search of deeper pow, larger faces and longer runs. Also, the drone follow cam throughout the whole run gives the fans the best POV ever.

I was about to write exactly this lol.

@@hans-peterklett8586 Tom was robbed

@@acedaytona1884 I agree. Takes the most exposed line virtually perfectly and sends a trick with a tech landing at the bottom. It should beat these slopestyle cross court runs all day

Nah have to disagree. Literally Maxime tricked the same upper cliff, did a 720 and bigger backflip after that as well. Where was Wadeck robbed?

I'll never understand this take, everything the top guys did was gnarly

Ski men was nothing but gnar

I would disagree, this venue as a backup just provides features where tricks are more manageable. The freeride world tour is certainly still gnar

Agreed, not to discredit the immense skill it takes, but I honestly can not from my heart say that I would ever appreciate a run that favors a mellow line packed with tricks, as compared to a very technical freeride line where you're fighting the mountain and displaying skills such as pathing, terrain management, speed and fluidity, big exposure airs, etc. It's called FREERIDE world tour for a reason, not X Games in the wild. Certainly having sick air style and tricks is an awesome addition to separate the really good from the truly great. But it should imo always just stay as that: addition. Not main course. Otherwise what's the point of choosing the most technical line, when you are far better off going for airs that are easier to set up and prep for. I would also love to see "Creativity" be added as a measurement tool in the voting.

@@Real_MisterSir You kinda have a point.. But in all seriousness. How many riders can hit a cork 7 in a spot they`ve never ride before?. I get your point that is not about the freestyle.. But the word freeride contains more than skiing big mountain terrain. I believe the combination of both, is the goal. If Aymar Navarro would`ve landed that double jump in the first stop, that would`ve entered in the top 3 for sure, even though he doesn´t do tricks. I think there should be a competition like this but with no tricks. Hell ,maybe there is one but i don`t know about it. Anyways, i`ll keep enjoying both type of riding.

Because of a Windwarning they changed the location from the usual Ozone to T1 at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. They changed it less then 24 before the first Rider went down
