Paul Mitchell Progression Session 2. Place!!

Last night the Grand Prix progression session went down after the halfpipe finals.. It was a setup with a gap to a 3m butter box and then step down 5 meter to a pretty flat landing. And in the end a flat rail, so fun!

I qualified doing fs 5 off the box, bs 180 in cab 5 out, and bs rodeo off the box. On the rail I tried doing some 270’s in and stuff..

In the finals only one out of 3 run counted and I did a fs 5 and a cab 270 in 270 out on the rail.  In my last run I had the opportunity to step up my run, but it was so icy and my butt was so sore that I just did a bs 180.. Anyway that got me onto the podium and I am so stoked!

Watch some qualli footy here, and hear Ståle Sandbech as speaker!

Intelligence Design, 4th place!!

Today, saturday the intelligence design went down in Park City, Utah. Every rider got two runs in quallies, and three in finals.. I qualified 7. and got 4. in finals, stoked! The course started off with a 23 m jump, a hip, then a down rail, a halfpipe and a quarterpipe at the very end.. My legs got so tired at the end of the day! I did a bs 12 on the first jump, cab 9 on the hip, fs blunt to bs board on the rail, a couple of 7s in the pipe and a chuckflip in the quarter.. There was a lot of sick riding today. Shaun White won.
