Nissan Freeride Engadin St.Moritz 2011
Next stop of FWT series FWT - 30th of Jenuary in Engadin St. Moritz.
Going into today’s event all eyes were on Frenchmen Aurélien Ducroz (FRA) following his win in the first event of the Freeride World Tour 2011. However, Henrik Windstedt (SWE) threw down a jaw-dropping line that was fast, smooth and included several cleanly stomped airs that boosted him to the top of the podium.
Local riders told Freeride World Tour athletes they had rarely seen the north face of the Corvatsch in such great condition for the contest. The steep, 550-metere face included two starts and what head judge Martin Winkler (AUT) described as “myriad opportunities for winning lines including broad open faces, plenty of goat lines and loads of features of all sizes.” Once on the face riders found a variety of conditions from knee-deep powder to thinly-covered landings and grippy snow that made it difficult to maintain control through the high speed finish.
Martin Cernik the first Czech rider copeting on FWT (wild card), finished on a perfect 10th position in SNB category. On the first stop of the FWT in Chamonix, which we unfortunately did not inform you, he placed on 11th position. For persons who have no idea who Martin Cernik is I recommend to check his personal website at http://www.martincernik.cz. He is one of the top Czech Snowboard rider.
