00:00The last Freeride World Tour stop in Val-Torrens.
00:03It is Victor De La Rue.
00:05He is on the face now and kicking off his campaign
00:08for a world champion title for France,
00:11starting with a big 360, Hadley.
00:13Nice three, getting the judges awake,
00:16getting his legs awake,
00:19and riding in.
00:20It looks like he's staying on that heel side edge
00:22in order to get high enough for this next feature.
00:25Yeah, and popping clean off that.
00:27Victor has barely made a turn yet,
00:30just holding fall line and keeping speed up
00:33for what is a huge laid out backflip.
00:36Getting a bit bumped though, a hand down.
00:38The judges noticed that in the control category.
00:40They do, but Liam also had one,
00:42so I think Victor's really just got to make sure
00:44that he continues his run to be perfect for the rest of it.
00:49Well, and Victor holding speed now.
00:51He has been absolutely flat out flying down this powder field.
00:56As you see there, Liam Rivera,
00:59he can see it on the screen in front of him.
01:01Victor De La Rue making his campaign,
01:04coming into this extremely technical double.
01:09Perfect landing, able to make it straight into that width.
01:12Nice 360.
01:15Wow, well, Victor De La Rue,
01:17and he flies down now,
01:19getting the arms out into the cat track.
01:22Wow, well, interesting.
01:26So both of them have been a nod there.
01:29A big wave of gratitude from Victor
01:32to the entire freeride community.
01:34I mean, he has just been a pillar
01:36of the freeride world for such a long time.
01:39Making use of that Yeti cooler jump at the bottom.
01:42Just wanted one more air to round out his run.
01:45Yeah!
01:46Coming in to his French and Swiss friends.
01:51Let's take a look at the replay.
01:54Really perfect three.
01:56Perfect landing to start off his run.
01:58And this is the one with that big backflip.
02:01Makes it around, but then hits into the back,
02:04dragging his hand down.
02:05And for the judges,
02:06they'll just have to compare his mistakes
02:08to Liam's mistakes.
02:11Yeah, as the rest of Victor's run
02:13just had a level of intensity.
02:16You know, he was full throttle.
02:18He was absolutely flying.
02:19You see the 360 into that double stager.
02:22That wind lift,
02:23because of the way it rolls off, Hadley,
02:25it turns into a double.
02:26How hard is that once you've landed
02:27to just go into the air immediately?
02:30Well, I don't...
02:31Let's see this score first.
02:33What's it going to be?
02:3480 points?
02:35An 80-point run for Victor de la Rue.
02:38The Swiss team...
02:39The Swiss team...
02:40The Swiss team...
