Of course, Sam Pilgrim, winner of the Swatch Rocket Air 2013 will be back in Switzerland. With a whole crew of British riders, the 23- year-old hopes to defend his title and take home the Team Battle trophy for the first time. Last year, the Swedish and Canadians defeated the British team. With the support of Matt Jones, Daryl Brown, the Samson brothers, and Pilgrim of course, the British team is looking for redemption. The team battle will take place on Friday evening kicking off the adrenaline packed weekend. In the unofficial world championship, countries will compete in the semifinal to secure one of two spots chosen by the panel of judges. When it comes to the final, it’s all about who can make the most noise as the audience will decide who takes home this year's Team Battle trophy. Sam Pilgrim is already looking forward to the event: "It’s seriously one of my favourite events, there is a lot of time to practice, the course is always super fun and the after party is pretty legendary. I just have an amazing time when I’m there.”

Lets see how Team Britain is doing in this year's Teambattle against those guys: Team Skandinavia
