THE FABULOUS TOURNAMENT |

The Fabulous Tournament in Avoriaz continued to entertain last week. By the end of the previous jib session all four features had been ridden as hard as possible along with an impressive team spirit in both camps.
Last year’s best Rookie Mathieu Crepel, promoted to All-Star status ripped off two best tricks during this last jib session getting the first two points for his team with a FS 180 switch Five O revert on the down flat down fabulous slam dunk rail, and he scored again on the Fabulous ‘dunk’, flat down rail, with a cab 270° FS boardslide revert. At this stage All-Stars were in the lead by 4 points to 3.
Over time: Slopestyle, Sun and the Awards ceremony
The over time started at 10am on Friday and featured four features, a double Protest sky hook ledge, on which multi combos were possible. Jules Reymond showed off with extra clean BS nose press to FS boardslide that gave 2 more points for the rookies, even though Tonton Holland (switch butter to nose press BS 180 switch 50/50 to revert) and Mathieu Crepel ( 50/50 one foot) tried their best the steal the best trick. Jonathan Menthon was the only rider with enough balls to try the Dragon ‘cross over' step down twin table, he performed a FS 180° cross over. The other riders rather liked to jump them straight to perform technical tricks. Mathieu Crepel impressed the judges with sick tricks such as a switch BS 720° mute. The Rossignol Snowboards ‘Fast break’ big air, wasn't huge but allowed tricks such as a cab 1080 performed by Joel Strecker to backside 900 from Emeric Front to a switch BS 720 by the all star substitute Eirik Haugo.
