00:00With risk involved, especially in Freeride Snow winning and one person who knows it better than others is Nuria Castanbaron.
00:07Also she coming back from the world to the challenges.
00:12She has competed many years on the Freeride World Tour now.
00:16Won some competitions, some podiums, placed up at the very top every now and then.
00:22And let's see what she has up for us.
00:24And yeah, wow, super nice, perfect.
00:30She has won a very big stream.
00:32She has been second over on the Freeride World Tour.
00:35She has been third of all.
00:36She was aiming for a title today.
00:38And her expectations, hopes got shattered when she lost the tour after only two events, with two events being cancelled.
00:46But you see the challenges and shows that she wants to go back to the tour right away.
00:51Another air with a grab. Nuria Castanbaron on fire today.
00:54Yeah, and really, she has those freestyle skills.
00:58She had great roaching growing up in the park too, in Andorra.
01:02And we know that she has them, but sometimes it's super hard to actually implement them in a line.
01:08And now she just did it and it was perfect.
01:10So proud.
01:11The way she approached the middle air and found a new take-off, a new trajectory.
01:15Yeah, really showed that she's not falling out of tracks.
01:18No, she is choosing her own line.
01:20Also here, going for a different take-off on that air back to the gully.
01:24Just working it there, keeping it together.
01:27She knows that she has a perfect top section.
01:29And now it's just important to add a little bit of spice for the judges in the lower part without
01:34risking too much.
01:35And she did that perfectly well.
01:37Adding some speed, air, air time.
01:39Super cool without overdoing it.
01:43Well, Selena Weber is the woman to beat in the snowboarding girls' field right now, sitting in first place with
01:5070 points.
01:50Yeah, Nuria is happy with that top section, man.
01:53She can be so proud of her run.
01:55It's so cool that she stomped that.
01:58You have that ranking on that left-hand side.
02:0064 podiums of 470 to take the lead.
02:04That's going to be interesting.
02:05It's going to be interesting.
02:07But yeah, I mean that was definitely a run to be proud of.
02:11I'm super proud because finally Nuri showed off her freeride skills where she's living in Innsbruck over the winter.
02:19Actually really working hard, training hard as well.
02:22She had some really rough experiences during her career as well regarding avalanches and injuries.
02:29And so it's so good to see her really, really showing what she has.
02:33Look at that, so safe.
02:35Oh my god.
02:37Beautiful.
02:38They're just a little shifty.
02:40And that run really had everything to it.
02:42It had the rhythm, you know, turns, drop, turns, drop.
02:45It had the speed, it had no hesitation.
02:48Each drop had a trick, a grab or something.
02:51So a very complete run.
02:52Air in style, yeah, yeah.
