Fieberbrunn, one of the most technical and challenging venues of the Freeride World Tour, hosted the third stop of the #FWT19. The world’s best freeriders threw down under gorgeous skies at the highly anticipated event in Austria.
The legendary “Wildseeloder” venue was coated with cold fresh snow, so the rider’s wasted no time in stepping to large, creative lines.
On the men’s side of things, Victor De Le Rue (FRA-1st Place) charged into top of venue throwing a big 360 over tons of exposure. He followed this with a huge air, a 360 and then yet another 360 to cap off an amazing run which was full of style and spins.
“I was really impressed by everyone’s runs, hitting so many features, so I added a few features to my run and I ended up first! I’m super stoked.” said Victor after the event. .
Dave Baird (USA-2nd Place) impressed judges with a beautiful sequence of two huge back to back airs at the top of the venue, followed by smooth riding and a couple more nice airs through the finish.
Sammy Luebke (USA-3rd Place) had a hard charging run carrying tons of speed through the top and stuck a nicely floated 360 in the middle section for a solid run.
For the women, Marion Haerty (FRA-1st Place) was the last rider to go for the day and did not disappoint with a steep and technical top section, multiple airs linked together through the middle and two clean bottom airs to take the win and further cement her spot in the overall rankings.
“I saw that line last year and really wanted to do it. I’m super stoked, feel so emotional right now and confident for the next one,” said Marion about the event.
Anna Orlova (RUS-2nd Place) chose a very technical line at the top, which she executed smoothly followed by a couple of smooth airs. Erika Vikander (USA-3rd Place) had a smooth run with a nice looking surf slash style and a clean air at the bottom.
