3rd Austrian Freeski Open

Hey Folks,
wooohoooo soooo stoked, got 3rd place at the 2011 Austrian Freeski Open at Kitzsteinhorn!

After winning the qualification on thursday I was really stoked for the finals on saturday!

The park this year at Kitzsteinhorn was really good with a kinked rail which could be done as a normal down from the site too, followed by an elephant box and 2 jumps!

Saturday the weather was amazing, pure sunshine, warm temperatures and a perfectly groomed park!

I got 9th in the Semi Finals, and top 10 advanced to finals!
In Finals everybody had 3 runs best counted!

I pretty much went for it with a right 2 in pretzel 2 out on the down part of the kinked into a 180on to sw left 2 in pretzel 2 out on the elephant into a sw left dub cork 9 mute to right cork 9 blunt tail on the jumps!
In the second run I stepped it up putting down the same rail run but going for a sw left 12 on the first jump instead of a 9!
Landed everything clean, and ended up in 3rd place behind Andreas Hatveit and  Elias Ambuehl in 1st and 2nd!
