x games 11 presented some real surprises this year, but all in all ended up being a great contest. 4 peater janna meyen was out with a hurt ankle and our own natasza zurek was down with some pulled muscles and rib issues. the course was pretty intimidating because of speed issues which resulted in very few girls hitting the big side of the course. in qualifiers it was jamie andersons solid and smooth style over the big side that landed her in the top qualifier spot. marie france roy's tech moves on the jumps earned her second spot and it was erin comstocks tech rail tricks and smooth style that earned her the third qualifier spot.
finals only had a few of ladies hitting the big side of the course, which weighed in heavy with the judges. jamie's big, smooth 180's and 360's and her solid rail skills earned her a high score in the first run, putting her above hana beaman. hana threw down a solid first run, with a huge backside 540 over the gap jump. in her second run she tried to up jamie with a massive backside 7 over the second table, unfortunately going down hard. chanelle sladics one uped sylvia mittermuller's frontside 7 and switch back three to take the bronze. other girls like marie france roy, leanne pelosi and erin comstock all threw down solid runs, however they weren't enough to put them on the podium. good work to all the ladies in finals, i'll see you all next year!
oh and seriously...someone start looking at our stupid page. i'm getting over this.
love the runway crew.
