VERBIER RIDE RESULTS

15 March 2004


Big Mountain action
The Verbier Ride 2004 Big Mountain Freeride delivered some of the finest competitive freeskiing imaginable. The event held on the extremely challenging slopes of Mont Gele provided a fittingly dramatic conclusion to the 2004 IFSA Freeskiing European Tour. Stand-out performances by Martha Burley (AUS) and Brendan Noel McLean (CAN) saw them take the 1st places.

Slopestyle
The Verbier Ride Slope Style was held in a specially enhanced La Chaux terrain park, shaped by Yannick and his Televerbier crew. The Slope Style saw the riders in chilled-out mood, as they sessioned the course, throwing down an increasingly complex mix of D-Spins, Misty Flips, Rodeos and Switch tricks. In the end Greg Tuscner (SUI) came out on top, just ahead of second place Andy Bennett (GBR) and third place Ben 'Skinner' Murphy (AUS).

Skiercross
Fred Mazieres (FRA) and Serain Emile (SUI) secured their places at the Winter X-Games 2005 in the Verbier Ride SkierCross discipline. Master course designer, Nicolas Voudroz, created a challenging and exciting course that drew the very best out of the riders.
