5comps/one week!
Hey Folks,
have been quite a bit on the road lately...
Last week I had two awesome days shredding slushy Mayrhofen with sweet jumps, straight after on friday the 11th, I drove out to Gerlos, to compete in the Gloryfy Basterds!
This year the set up was great, a huge corner with 2 very step take offs and a big jump in the middle of the corners!
After the qualifications finals were on and everybody had to take one hit on the corner followed by one hit on the jump and a 3rd run to improve the score from one of your previous runs.

Sunday I picked up Skye and Sean Balmer to drive to Val Thorens to compete in the Frostgun Invitational and the 2nd stop of the SFR Tour in La Clusaz...after a sweet 10h drive we arrived in Val Thorens at 3o´clock in the middle of the night!
Monday we tested the jump and wednesday Markus and me drove to La Clusaz!
We booth made it through qualis and had to take 3runs in the finals, 2 counted and they had to be different tricks as well!
I screwed up pretty bad crashing two of my 3 runs, not stoked for sure! But Markus on the other hand landed a sick kangi 9 and a sw 10blunt letting him finish in first place!
Now he is also leading in the SFR ranking and will have to give everything on the last stop next week at Alp D´huez!
After driving back home from La Clusaz to Val Thorens, the Frostgun Invitational was on thursday.

On friday the 18th I drove to Hoch Ybrig, Switzerland to take part in the 401 Ski Dart comp.
After 2 stopovers at the Scott factory in Fribourg and another one at Belowzero and 4coffee´s later I arrived in Hoch Ybrig!
On saturday the 401 Ski Dart game was on, and the park and the weather were perfect!
Everybody was throwing down and it was very nice to see all my swiss friends again and shred with them ;)
As usual I was the first guy to get down from 401 points to zero in about 4 runs, with some sw right and left10 and some other sweet tricks! I took a small break to get some well deserved food and keept on shredding the perfectly gromed park!
In the end Flo Gey won it all in just 3 runs with sw and foward dub10s and Kai Mahler and me came in a tie 2nd place again having the exact same tricks all the way and also the same amount of runs used....
Had a sick day shredding out there and can´t wait to come back next year!
Now I´m relaxing in Innsbruck waiting to go to Davos, Switzerland tomorrow to go shot a sweet jump together with Elias Ambuehl and the Aestivation crew!
On wednesday I will drive to Kitzsteinhorn for the Austrian Open and next week the Euro Open in Laax...quite a schedule I guess!!!!
I´ll post pics and Videos of the 401 as soon as I get them
Big thx to Lucas Rehsche fo inviting me again and for hosting such a sick comp!!!

After a sick final Patrick ended up in 4th place with a huge flat 5 a very stylish bio 9 mute to japan and a massive straight air on the hip!
3rd after dominating the qualifications was Markus Eder with a very nice and big ao 450blunt on the corner a sweet cork9 blunt and a bad ass dub cork 12 mute which he unfortunately crashed on!
Flo Geyer and myself got a tie 1st place! Flo went big with a dub cork 10 on the jump and a nice ao 810on the corner which was not too big unfortunately!
Then it was my turn and I went for a big sw cork 5 on the corner followed by a rightcork9 blunt on the jump and a sw left 10 where I kind of lost my grab!
So it was quite hard for the judges with Flo having the better jump and me the better Corner hit, they made the right decision in my opinion and Flo and me shared the 1st place!
Everybody stoked ;)
The next day Flo and me drove to Saalbach to compete in the Glemmbang Slopestyle comp...
After arriving a little to late and just getting 3training runs, the qualification started!
About 150 people competed....took about 4,5h to get the 2 quali runs done haha
Flo and me made it to finals! This year they had a sick course with a downrail into a true table kicker into a gap jump, followed by a kink rail and a wall/spine feature...really fun course I have to say, besides the park is open every day until 10at night, so if you are around and had to work late this is the place to go for sure!!!!
Anyway finals were on and we had 2 runs one style on and one technical one, both counted...no mistakes allowed!
I went for a sw 2 in pretzel 2 out on the downrail a sw left 9 to right cork7 blunt to handplant 5 on the wall on the tech run and a sw 2 in blind 2 out on the down to right cork 5 to sw left cork5 on the style run...luckily I landed all my tricks and was able to win this years Monster Glemmbang at Saalbach, really stoked!!!!

After driving back home from La Clusaz to Val Thorens, the Frostgun Invitational was on thursday.
Got to the jump around 10am on thursday morning and was stoked for the training! The jump was super sweet with a big take off and a lot of amplitude...then they landing came and it was way to flat and short for the size of the jump....moreover it got quite windy and it got really hard to figure out the perfect speed!
Went way to big in the training on every hit and almost overshoot the jump on a sw cork 5 I figured out not to compete because of the wind, cause I was quite tired from all the traveling and my knee and back started to hurt after going to big all the time...
Anyway the other guys did not care and went for it....after quite some nasty crashes during the qualis and semi finals, because of the wind and changing speed conditions Russ Henshaw and Elias Ambuehl battled it out for first place....Elias went big all day long with the sickest sw dub 12 mutes I have ever seen and also a very nice sw dub 14 where he came a little short! Russ went for it with a right dub 12 a left dub 10 and a left dub 14, making no mistakes all day long and becoming a well deserved winner of the 2011 Frostgun Invitational!
Elias mid sw dub 10
Russ left dub 10
Big big shout out to Michael Fugman for hosting such a sick event and to Frodo for almost landing a sick tripple 14!!!!
