00:00Hey, hey, hey, welcome back and we are live with snowboard men. We go back up to Michael Maughan.
00:09Always a podium threat and Michael Maughan is on the Loch Nore face.
00:13Going again, like you said, straight into it, toeside, lining up for this first cliff.
00:30Which proves no problem for Michael Maughan, coming out hot and cooking.
00:36Michael Maughan pinned here. Now he gets into this lower section of the face where it totally rolls away.
00:42The vision is difficult here. As Michael Maughan approaching, he's got this spine feature right off the end.
00:48Perfect landing for Michael Maughan.
00:49Setting himself up for this next feature with a huge 360.
00:54Backside three for Michael Maughan, connecting perfectly with the transition.
01:00So a great start here for snowboard men, has plenty more in store.
01:10Michael Maughan getting himself into this billy goat section on the heel side, popping off off the heel side edge into a double.
01:15Yes, below commitment.
01:25Yeah, Michael!
01:27Back up to the top, this next man out of Moonlight Basin, Holden Samuels.
01:44And no stranger to the fall line is Holden flying out of the start gate.
01:51Launching that Pearl's Court air.
01:52Yeah, all sauce right out of that start to cross-court air.
02:04Now he's working into a new part of the face here.
02:07A big air right where he finds that transition.
02:10Lands it nice and square and he is above some more gnar here, working his way in, controlling the sauce, lining it up, airing, and look at that.
02:27Grease that landing into those big pow turns.
02:30That was a sauce run.
02:31It was fast.
02:31Love that run, love that run from Holden Samuels.
02:36As we are looking at John Pow, JP John Penfield.
02:41The gnarlier and steeper it gets, the more comfortable this man is on a mountain.
02:46Loves riding powder as he is going way out here.
02:49You can see exactly what's looming below that cornice.
02:53Yeah, first rider to go this far over rider's ride on this feature and straight into the gnar off the cornice.
02:59Wow, with that double and a three.
03:01And he holds on and then spinning the other way.
03:05Front side three, back side three, back to back.
03:07That was action packed for Jonathan Penfield.
03:11Bring in the freestyle, bring in the heat and the intensity of that run.
03:23If you blinked, you might have missed it there for John Pow.
03:27As we are heading back up to the top, we've got Enzo Nilo in the start gate.
03:32Another rider holding the French flags on his shoulders.
03:36And here he is, dropping to this face from start three, making his way through this top section.
03:43I can hear chainsaws in the background.
03:46Enzo Nilo chucking a 360, but somehow coming out of that on his feet.
04:00He had a very different takeoff approach than we saw the other riders.
04:04Big back flip for Enzo.
04:05Oh, the French crowd is going bananas now.
04:14Enzo Nilo picking up a whole head of steam, going so fast into the lower section of this Lachnoir face.
04:20Such strong riding.
04:21He is on fire with the double.
04:24No problem.
04:25Perfect stop.
04:27And he is not done yet, getting lost in his slough cloud.
04:30Still more features stacked up below Enzo Nilo.
04:34He is doing it for the home crowd.
04:37Kind of a butter back three there.
04:40Catching the side of that feature.
04:42Liam Rivera riding out of Verbier.
04:52We know the Swiss are out here in droves.
04:54The valet flag waving at the finish area.
04:57His technique is on point.
04:59He's super strong.
05:00He is ready to go.
05:01His vibes are high.
05:09His confidence is back as he makes his way through this top section.
05:13Yeah, really technical in here.
05:15You've got to be very precise with your board placement.
05:18As Liam comes down, you can see the track.
05:20Oh, and he's going the other direction with a huge air.
05:24It's so tight in that landing.
05:25And Liam landing perfectly.
05:34He's got still a bunch of exposure below him.
05:37Sliding in and out of that section with no hesitation.
05:41Many riders looked at that and opted out of it.
05:44But Liam Rivera, now he's got this big blade cliff underneath him.
05:49He's heading the other direction.
05:50Airing off that.
05:52Incredible.
05:52You really have to land it.
05:54Otherwise, your exposure levels are just too high.
05:57And he nailed it perfectly.
06:04Coming with a 360.
06:06Showing that he can do it all.
06:08And one big feature below him still.
06:11Yeah, Liam Rivera right off the nose.
06:13Keeping a fall line approach.
06:14And high speed run out.
06:16Bouncing.
06:18That was an incredible wave.
06:19As we are now looking at our first rider to take a bite out of start one.
06:31This is Cody Bramwell.
06:32And this man is riding a wave of confidence.
06:35This will definitely require a delicate dance as he makes his way out of start gate one again.
06:41You can see him making already through a bit of a pepper section.
06:45The snow starting to fly.
06:47And huge.
06:49Oh, and the landing.
06:51Look at what he did that above.
06:53Cody Bramwell with precision technique.
06:57Getting his way at the slough.
06:59Pouring off those cliffs above him.
07:00Back moving into the explosion.
07:22Now coming back out into the central section of the Petit Beck.
07:26That was mind-blowing stuff from Cody Bramwell.
07:38Big 360.
07:41Pointing it down.
07:42Making his way again.
07:43This is where the snow is changing.
07:44And he has just got to make it to the finish line.
07:47That was absolutely incredible from Cody Bramwell.
07:51When he is firing, everybody else better look out.
07:54Unbelievable performance from Cody.
07:59Cody Bramwell.
08:00We said he was riding a wave of confidence.
08:03Another back lift into the finish.
08:04This man is unstoppable right now.
08:11As we look back here, the next man in the gate.
08:14This is your three-time world champion of the Freeride World Tour, Victor De La Rue.
08:21Popping himself out of the gate.
08:23And you kind of nailed it.
08:24Hadley going out, rider's right.
08:26Straight out of the gate.
08:27Perfect on this top cliff.
08:28Which, oh, he's going to come in with a lot of speed and heat.
08:32And you'll see he's really good at controlling that speed.
08:35Throwing his first trick of the day.
08:44Yeah, Victor spinning right away.
08:46Using that heel side edge to control the speed.
08:50And airing off that as well.
08:51So in the steepest part of the face.
08:53Getting set for a toe side turn.
08:55He's going to stay heel side and pop off this long feature.
08:57So Victor already with three big features in it.
09:05Now just trying to slow down.
09:13Already he's close to the bottom part of the features.
09:17Oh, and flying over that roller.
09:19Victor De La Rue making short work of this face.
09:23Absolutely cooking.
09:25Checking his takeoff.
09:26It's pretty rocky here.
09:27Let's see where he navigates through this section.
09:30Oh, he's got great.
09:32He really just puts the board where he wants it.
09:34And commits to that line.
09:35Yeah, and clearly knowing exactly where he's going.
09:38Right off the nose of that one.
09:40Victor De La Rue now.
09:41Into the wind lift with a back lift.
09:43Stomp.
09:44So Victor now catching another air.
09:46He is just stacking up the line score.
