At the BEO it was the pre qualie for slopestyle first. They had moved the slopestyle course to a different place this year it was better because it was a drag lift and not a long chair so the lap of the course was a lot faster :D. The park was good they had a down rail or a up rail to 2 small jumps which were called the flow section because they were really close together then 2 larger jumps and then the creative use of space feature where you had a wall ride to a drop over a mini car or to a poll tap or you could hit the other side and it was a metal bar / hip type thing to a down flat down or a down rail, the person who got the most creative won 5000€. Unfortunately the pre quaies got cancelled due to strong winds and bad visibility so they put everybody into the qualis the next day, i came 22nd in my heat and ended up 72nd overall.
Next up was halfpipe qualies, the pipe is so good at Laax i was really looking forward to this. The top 10 riders went through to the Semifinals, i came 21st and end up 37th overall.
All in all a good week at the BEO, good pipe always was nicely shaped, fun slopestyle course and the rail line down to the chair lift was sick.
After the BEO we headed to the Nescafe champs in Leysin the course was a flat down box to a halfpipe to a jump and then a feature on the bottom me and henry were in the last chance qualifying round were 6 went threw i finished 8th just missing out :( and henry fell both runs.
Has been a good couple of weeks. Been back home was looking forward to riding more of the new park in Meribel, however jump hasnt be so good and other features have been taken down to re build, so i am off to Laax for a weeks training before The Brits.
