WC Silvaplana, course preview

februari 6, 2013 i Nowhere n' everywhere

Thjupp!

We have now had two days of practice here at the world cup in Corvatsch, Silvaplana, Switzerland. Or should I say, we were supposed to have had two days of practice. Because when we came up yesterday the first two jumps wasn’t even finished yet and the rest of the course was built really weird and dangerous, so they needed to rebuild everything except for 2 features…

Luckily enough the course looked a lot better when we turned up this morning for practice and we could have 3hrs long training session in the course. Can’t really say that the course is great, but it works.

I was supposed to qualify tomorrow, but as we’re only 24 girls competing, they cancelled tomorrows quali’s and moved it to friday instead. So tomorrow it’s gonna be a chilled out day for me with watching the guys qauli heats and hopefully some pow turns, nice!

Here’s a preview of the course:

1st feature: Dfd fatpipe or a down box

2nd feature: Jump, around 17 meter long and with a looooong landing

DSC_0591-2
3rd feature: Jump, around 15-18 m, flack kicker and a flack landing. Think they’re gonna change this one for tomorrow and add some more pop to the jump

4th feature: A bonk thing to the left and a tabletop jump to the right, around 17 m.

6th feature: A butter-box with a really flat landing, hopefully they’re gonna fix that for tomorrow!

Take care, more updates will drop shortley!
