3:00pm time to send it... sadly, the wind had other plans
Sam Pilgrim was throwing flip variations all day. Here, a flip table
Pilgrim's flip tuck no hander's are as extended as they come. Hands off and upside down in the mountains
Pilgrim with a clicked 360 x-up off the whale tail
Andreu Lacondeguy with his signature flatspin high above the town
Not often you see Andreu riding a slope bike on a slope course. He's normally on a hardtail
Massive flip whip. The 'average' level of riding here is insane - no one here is average
Course builder Yannick Granieri with a signature move of his own. He dumps 3's as well as anyone
Cam Zink with a massive flip table. He'll be a medal threat for tomorrow
Flip one foot x-up onto the whale tail. I wouldn't bet against Zink for a medal
Tomas Genon isn't a big name. Yet. He's got great style and a deep bag of tricks, someone to watch for in the future
Sam Reynolds warming up
Martin Soderstrom just oozes confidence and style
Practice is over, time for a quick riders meeting before the Teva Best Trick contest. Unfortunately, the contest was cancelled due to dangerous conditions (wind) shortly thereafter
Wait a second... I think we can all agree here that while Pilgrim might be one of the best dirt jumpers out, Semenuk is just as good as him in that aspect but he also has a slope course in his backyard. The guy is a machine, he's won everything he's entered and well I don't see that stopping anytime soon.
Why are so many people bagging out Sam Pilgrim? He's as good as Brandon Semen uk at tricks and style. His big bike skills may be a bit behind but he's still awesome, and at least he hasn't got long hair like a girl. I'm a big fan of all of them, except that Brandon has girly hair and doesn't pull his trousers up properly. His girly long hair and builder's bum won't stop him winning the fmb overall title. He's just so complete, no one can match him across all disciplines. Totally amazing to watch. Get practicing big bike Pilgrim!
