Transcript

00:00 Big boosting airs Molly always so exciting to watch she came on to the

00:05 Freeride World Tour with a bang last year right away just staking her claim

00:09 as one of the women to watch. She is a really explosive rider she's got half a

00:14 toe but full speed. All gas and Molly staying on the riders left side of that

00:22 early feature and getting into this completely untapped zone you can see

00:26 there's no track there. Molly Armanino above this gigantic cliff and coming out

00:31 clean into the lower section so still above the closeout where she's gonna

00:35 make her way over here past the La Bamba double we saw some of the snowboarders

00:39 heading over this direction now we'll see what Molly's got teed up over here

00:42 definitely plenty of features to be to be accessed from this section. Lots to

00:48 play with and she's found her entrance she's working her way down to the cliff

00:52 band finding her takeoff looks like she's making it into a double that was

01:01 amazing. The airplane turn double so technical there for Molly Armanino as

01:06 she was you could see her kind of lining it up and I wasn't sure if she was gonna

01:10 slide down the channel but no airing into the closeout and still more to come

01:16 as Molly stacking up multiple features in the fall line a banging run there for

01:21 the American rider riding out of Tahoe incredible incredible run for Molly

01:27 Armanino so pure free ride extremely technical and she's got more below her

01:33 catching another air there as she makes her way through to the finish line I am

01:38 so impressed with that huge move in the top of her run. Yes so technical and

01:46 extremely high risk because if that first airplane turn drop doesn't work

01:50 you're tumbling over rocks. The wheels are coming off. You can hear the crowd going for it.

01:57 So the judges are gonna have to get to work here because that was a

02:03 completely different section of the face than where we saw Sibyl Blanjongo

02:07 were two riders into this field let's take a look back at Molly Armanino's run.

02:12 So you see she has to change angles in the middle of this double which is just

02:17 so hard to do at speed she's so agile and just lacing that together at full speed.

02:24 Yeah and then just laying on that downhill ski never even a hint of a

02:29 control loss airing over those bottom rocks I guarantee from the takeoff you

02:33 can't see those rocks so you have to know exactly where you are direct line

02:37 there for Molly you can see a little bit of moving across but moving across is no

02:41 problem if you're moving across towards something worthy and Molly the Scott

02:44 rider certainly was doing that as she is all smiles in the finish line the sense

02:49 of relief the recovery all the stress just flowing off the body there Molly

02:54 looking back up at her tracks of what she just did and hopefully feeling good

02:58 about that I certainly am.

03:08 All right well the judges have had their say and Molly 80.67 and she slides

03:14 into the hot seat first rider in the 80s of the ski women so a huge statement

03:19 there from Molly Armanino as she puts herself into the Dynastar hot seat with

03:24 an incredible run.
