Here we are, the season of competition has started in Breckenridge with the famous Dew Tour...
We trained for 10 days in Copper's 22 feet tall pipe and now, we are in Breckenridge, with a smaller pipe of 18 feet. It is very hard to get use to this new pipe and not to fall on the flat...
We noticed a huge evolution as soon as the qualifiers started: Most of the runs are more technical than the best runs of last year's X Games... But no worries, Thomas Krief is 7th, Xavier Bertoni is 2nd and I am 3rd.
The finals are surprising, especially because on the first runs, only 3 riders stomped all their tricks! On my second run, I was torn apart between giving the best of myself or playing it cool because of the sequence of events... And I picked the wrong option (the safe one) and finished 4th.
Xavier did a very clean run bu had a little fright on his flat 3 and finished 3rd. Thomas Krief, who did not land his runs as he wished, showed us that he was one of the best pipe riders in the world and he is only 16 years old...
Bonus: The video of the double cork mute of Kevin last week in Breckenridge.
