Rocket Air Switzerland

Well had a fun weekend and a freezing one. Been out to the 2nd stop of the FMB World Tour Rocket Air in Thun, Switzerland. Definitely one of the hardest if not the hardest comp i have been to.

Arrived on thursday checked out the course which looked sweet, its been the same course for the last three years and every year they tweak it a bit to make it better. This year the down ramps were not so steep which made for a much better comp. Unfortunately the weather was wet and cold but luckily it was all undercover so the rain never affected us just the freezing temperature.

Spent Friday practising and watched the prequalis which looked hard. The level of riding is like the finals a few years ago. It's crazy how fast the sport and tricks have progressed. Saturday came and we had qualification and finals to do. The qualification went ok managed to do a clean run and just made finals in 14th place. Finals only started at 8:30 in the evening so i was getting pretty tired from riding all day but thankfully i managed to hold it together and put a good run together.

Ended up with 12th so was happy with that considering how good everyone was riding. Stoked on being ranked 10th on the FMB World Tour so I pray I can stay there throughout the year. Now going to train my ass off for the next comp and hopefully do well. Here is a few highlight videos:
