 | Verbier Ride 2003
Results, pics and clips |
The Verbier Ride 2003 Big Mountain Freeride delivered some of the finest competitive freeskiing imaginable. The event was held on the extremely challenging slopes of Mont Gele which provided a fittingly dramatic conclusion to the 2003 IFSA Freeskiing European Tour. A stand-out performance by UK rider Jason Schutt saw him finish 6th overall. However the event belonged to French riders Thomas Diet and Romaine Raisson. Raisson just edged out his countryman in an inspiring freeski duel.
Frederik Lutkyis secured a place in the Winter X-Games 2004 after winning the SkierCross event. Master course designer, Nicolas Voudroz, created a challenging and exciting course that drew the very best out of the riders.
The final event - the Slopestyle - was held in a specially enhanced La Chaux terrain park, shaped by Yannick and his Televerbier crew. The event saw the riders in a 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 Ben 'Skinner' Murphy came out on top, just ahead of the UK's Andy Bennett.
