Run of Smoothy Sam (NZL) – Swatch Freeride… by FreerideWorldTourTV
Sam Smoothy from New Zealand put it all on the line and won yesterday. Â He skied a line up top – in not-so-great snow – that was do or die. Â He then proceeded to continue charging down the venue. He even pulled off a funky flat landing big air at the bottom that bucked him onto one ski. He got his other ski back down after doing a bit of ballet and hardly bobbled.
His run was the winning run of the day.Â
If he would have fallen up top, he would have been in big trouble. Â It appears that a fall in that 2nd gnarly zone would have been life-altering if not ending. Â Our sport is going in a crazy direction, isn’t it? Â But, when it goes well – as it did today – it’s absolutely breathtaking.
What’s even more impressive is the FWT is visual inspection only. Â He skied that after having only looked at it. Â In all likelihood, Sam had never even skied that zone before.
Congrats Sam. Â Unreal run.
