00:00Pretty damn nice.
00:03Ladies and gentlemen, now is a double back of Austrians to start games.
00:07Simon Zwischenpöker being the first ones, entering this series as a wildcard
00:11after a great performance at his home event in Montafon in Austria.
00:14Katkin Wildcard is leading the ranking right now.
00:19Whoa! Starting his run up with a bang, a backflip up,
00:22where most riders have done a straighter, going to the 360 transfer,
00:28doing a big three-stay with his feet, amazing.
00:31Yeah, cat-like reflexes as well.
00:32He's such a young rider and so comparatively little competition performance.
00:36Still, when you see him ride, it looks like nothing can take him off his feet.
00:41Yeah. Simon just like keeping, like being the new generation out of Austria.
00:49Yeah. Obergurgel being his hometown with a flat spin.
00:54Wow, beautiful.
00:54You also hear variation, you know, the big boys are doing backflips.
00:57No, I'm going for a flat spin, you know.
01:00And that's it.
01:01Stay on your feet, raise to the bottom and there'll be another great shot.
01:04Yeah. Nice one.
01:06Oh my God.
01:07Yeah, Simon absolutely like riding the wave this year with all the great results he's been up to.
01:14And yeah, let's see if he can be a top contender for the current podium.
01:18Talk about momentum. A fourth place at the first of the season, a second place in Nonda.
01:23And even this one's going to be a great result with just great moves top to bottom.
01:30And it's just crazy, you know, coming out of nowhere, pretty much earning his wild card.
01:36Kind of, yeah.
01:37It reminds me of the Max Hitzig story a couple of years ago, where within one year he went from
01:41a qualifier rider to a world tour rider.
01:45Look at this.
01:46Like, like he said, it looks like he had built those jumps to do a slopestyle competition.
01:49Yeah.
01:49Like everything in the excess. And so flawless, like, you know.
01:54Yeah, and that one was so beautiful. Oh my God.
01:58Sparkling with self-confidence. Simon Zwischenbrucker, is that enough to kick the old boys off the podium?
02:04It is 95.67.
02:07Yeah, Simon.
