The first World Cup of the season went down in the early hours of this morning in Cadrona. At the first comp of each year it's always interesting to see where people are at and what new tricks have been learned, but the combination of course and conditions didn't really give the riders a chance to show off their jump arsenals. The flow of the rail section however, with a redirecting quarter pipe right at the top, made things interesting with a variety of lines on display. Check out the top three runs of the men's and women's contests along with full results below.
