00:00in the gym she is ready to go this is a rider who thrives on vibes and i think the vibes in spain

00:07are gonna just absolutely get the fire lit here for the aussie rider only australian rider on

00:14the tour right now amy she's ready to go she is and uh we've talked about these challenging

00:18conditions maybe favoring athletes from places that aren't necessarily known for their powder

00:23oasis i've never skied in australia so maybe i shouldn't talk but uh i have and you're right yeah

00:29so this kind of top section of funky hard pack is uh probably makes her feel at home but getting

00:34that really nice kind of slash on the ridge that was one for the cameras um and then she's gonna

00:39jump in here and find her line again we're gonna see this from a lot of athletes and that story of

00:43her ramping up through last season that's gonna come up again as we talk about some of these

00:47athletes too it was a fun a really fun thing to follow last year so michaela's been working hard

00:54on her snowboard technique she's always been really good in the air she identified that technique

00:59as a bit of a weakness in her game and has put in work uh a ton of work towards just building and

01:06improving and getting herself to a place where when the snow gets funky she's got the edge control to

01:11handle it and putting herself into a really rough looking section of the face there yeah she's working

01:18through some section there that looks like the snow is a little challenging and there is some pepper

01:22features in there getting through it but you could tell by her body language it was a challenge

01:26and it looks like she's still hunting for some features and testing the snow she's lining up in

01:31air here and finding a really nice transfer landing on it that was really strong powerful landing

01:37and putting herself into another air sending it right off the nose finding her feet getting bucked a

01:44little bit on that landing you could see her kind of collapse in her upper body having a little bit of a

01:48wash out but she is up she's riding and she's kind of made her way through the features of the face

01:53yeah michaela just getting a tossed a little bit there she got the grab on that air so air and style

01:58you know one of the five categories of the judging the judges like to see that those those little

02:03additions of flavor to your free ride stew and that that kind of thing it really bodes well we'll have

02:09we'll have a look in the replay i think maybe she just got a little impatient getting that turn in

02:13right after she landed and the snow is not going to put up with that amy this this especially in

02:18that section yeah with this kind of more hard pack somewhat variable snow you need that patience on

02:23those landings and it's not a place for those quick reaction moves you can do in powder where you can

02:27quickly dump speed um but we saw a somewhat similar line choice to anna martinez so we'll see what

02:32the judges think about that but there she is she's across the finish line

02:36yeah so the story so far in snowboard women good runs with small mistakes right and uh mia jones

02:45we're never really going to fully know but the judges know the cleanest run that we've seen so

02:51far as we look back here at the run of michael davis mian looking really strong up top

02:55turn for the cameras up top and then she lines up this air and she finds more of a transfer landing

03:02on there than anna did which was really nice and then coming into this feature that has some size

03:07to it and no hesitation pointing it from the top landing but you see how she collapses in her upper

03:12body a little bit that might have also bucked her into kind of at the same time maybe hitting

03:17some tricky snow off balance yeah she's got her little bonus floater as she comes down through let's

03:23call this like the nugget yard down there so the hover air line tracker yeah a little bit more direct

03:29than what we saw anna martinez who went out way further riders right a solid campaign there for

03:35mikayla davis mian with a little bit of a control issue so the judges are going to be taking note of

03:40that they are watching through their ultra high powered binoculars they don't miss a beat on the face

03:46here absolutely and she yeah different on the top of that line then anna same on the bottom and it looks

03:51like okay so score to be 69 67 mikayla coming in at a 64 5 so taking over third spot right now for

03:59mikayla davis mian as we only have two riders to go so now
