00:00Start number three. It is Toby Rafford coming off that win in Alaska. He has delivered some of the
00:06most memorable moments on the Freeride World Tour in 2026 and he is ready to go in the start.
00:14Sun Valley, Idaho's own Toby Rafford. Toby got third on the beck last year. He knows how to
00:20podium on this mountain. The pressure is on and I think he's got to be feeling it. So Toby's mic'd
00:28up. You can hear the sounds his skis making on the snow. If he talks to himself, we're going to
00:32hear
00:33it as he enters his run. Immediately 360 off that upper feature, landing clean and now full speed.
00:42Oh, you can hear the little giggles there. I love this mic'd up feature that we've got on the riders.
00:47Toby making his way down the enormity of this double below him that we saw Marcus go. One,
00:56two. And landing perfectly, Toby, just with that little hint of a giggle coming down now into the
01:04apron. And we saw with the scores from Marcus that the judges were not as enthusiastic about that
01:11double as they have been in the past. So we'll see how that's going to score, especially given how
01:16packed with features Ben Richard's run was. It really was. But I mean, can we take a moment?
01:21How many people go to work and giggle all day?
01:31Oh, the love all around.
01:48Well, let's take a look here. The hover air line tracker showing that fall line approach. So Toby
01:53with the big 360 up high and then going down to the Gogan double. He said he hit the rocks
01:58on the pad.
01:59You have to go so slow as we take a look back at the replay.
02:02Let's check this first massive first air and classic Toby style, lofting that three. And again,
02:09here is that double that requires such precision and speed.
02:14One and it definitely sent him for a little bit of a ride. But Toby, like a cat out of
02:21the bag
02:22in there. Ben stoked for his friend. But as you said, the judges didn't love
02:27Gogan's run as much. So let's see what happens. Toby did have the 360 on that big air up high
02:34that
02:34Marcus didn't do. So Toby Rafford and Ben Richard standing together now, waiting for the score. The
02:41judges have spoken to 96, the score to beat. He pops up to a 94, six, seven. So Toby Rafford
02:49into second place.
02:56They don't know. Well, now we know that Ben Richards is the champion on the back. We've got to get
03:04the
03:04math done behind the scenes.
