3PM time to send it.. but the wind say NO
  3:00pm time to send it... sadly, the wind had other plans

Pilgrim flip table the step up
  Sam Pilgrim was throwing flip variations all day. Here, a flip table

practice in the morning start with some respectable tricks. Here pilgrim in his classic super extended flip no hander
  Pilgrim's flip tuck no hander's are as extended as they come. Hands off and upside down in the mountains

and 360 X-Up off the drop
  Pilgrim with a clicked 360 x-up off the whale tail

andreu in his 360 flatspin
  Andreu Lacondeguy with his signature flatspin high above the town

Andreu was motivated this morning and was practicing a lot
  Not often you see Andreu riding a slope bike on a slope course. He's normally on a hardtail

Flip Whip for Andreu
  Massive flip whip. The 'average' level of riding here is insane - no one here is average

Yannick Granieri in his own 360 inverted
  Course builder Yannick Granieri with a signature move of his own. He dumps 3's as well as anyone

Cam Zink in a Flip Table
  Cam Zink with a massive flip table. He'll be a medal threat for tomorrow

Zink in a bad ass flip X-Up one footer on the step up
  Flip one foot x-up onto the whale tail. I wouldn't bet against Zink for a medal

Thomas Genon in a perfect smooth style as usual
  Tomas Genon isn't a big name. Yet. He's got great style and a deep bag of tricks, someone to watch for in the future

Sam Reynolds
  Sam Reynolds warming up

Martin Soederstrom was looking confident with the course as well
  Martin Soderstrom just oozes confidence and style

Practice is over it s time for a riders meeting before the qualifications and the Teva Best Trick
  Practice is over, time for a quick riders meeting before the Teva Best Trick contest. Unfortunately, the contest was cancelled due to dangerous conditions (wind) shortly thereafter

Will this be Soderstrom's contest? Will Yannick take the win? Make your predictions below:

 Must be a scarey course in the wind, not often you see Andreu in a full face.

 Massive semenuk fan here, but here is my prediction:

1. Pilgrim (hate to say it)
2. Semenuk
3. Martin or zink

Semenuk will take the crown again this year but it will be decided at rampage, pligrim doesn't have the mountain game to beat him....
  • 1 0
 Wait a second... I think we can all agree here that while Pilgrim might be one of the best dirt jumpers out, Semenuk is just as good as him in that aspect but he also has a slope course in his backyard. The guy is a machine, he's won everything he's entered and well I don't see that stopping anytime soon.

 Why are so many people bagging out Sam Pilgrim? He's as good as Brandon Semen uk at tricks and style. His big bike skills may be a bit behind but he's still awesome, and at least he hasn't got long hair like a girl. I'm a big fan of all of them, except that Brandon has girly hair and doesn't pull his trousers up properly.
His girly long hair and builder's bum won't stop him winning the fmb overall title. He's just so complete, no one can match him across all disciplines. Totally amazing to watch. Get practicing big bike Pilgrim!
