00:00 Great spirit, the free ride spirit I think alive and well in Finn Billis.

00:04 Standing on the top a couple of final breaths as he readies himself for his

00:10 first trip off the summit as it is for the entire field here and Finn Billis

00:14 now dropping in on the back.

00:16 Dropping in and heading up down towards the lookers right of the venue.

00:22 The super spicy entrance looking really confident as he skis down the ridge.

00:27 Yeah and the judges are definitely gonna like this going into this other more

00:33 exposed side of the face. As we saw in Fever Broom they want to see the big

00:36 mountain skiing on these big mountain venues so pretty smart for Finn to get

00:40 on in there.

00:41 Yeah he was saying earlier during face check that he just felt like he kind of

00:45 had to go over there to give the Beck its due. He wanted to be into the

00:50 heart of it and that is exactly where Finn Billis is sitting now as we pull

00:54 back the camera view you can see what he's traversing above airing off that

00:59 little blade feature with a nice turn the slough ripping down as Finn Billis

01:05 just into the heart of the Bech de Rosse.

01:08 And managing to handle that slough looking pretty fluid through the central

01:12 here.

01:13 Yeah that's a scary place to make some turns because it's all exposed you

01:17 can't really see from the wide angle but there's a huge cliff that runs all the

01:20 way across.

01:21 She blows coming in on the Hollywood. Huge 360.

01:27 That is Andrew you just said a world's first Finn Billis tossing a 360 off the

01:32 Hollywood and landing absolutely perfectly. Now picking up a gut full of

01:37 speed white rooming himself hopefully you can still see where he's going.

01:43 Taking that one super deep carrying so much speed here another three cross

01:48 court so smooth from Finn Billis.

01:51 Wow well Finn Billis coming from that slope style background but he's got a

01:56 whole bunch of free ride experience and he just put it all to use on the Bech an

02:01 incredible display of skiing there for Finn hand in the air he's going to be

02:06 elated.

02:07 Yeah that was a special one to see I've been waiting for that for a long time

02:11 Ross Tester and I used to joke about spinning the Hollywood he thought it

02:14 went I didn't and Finn just proved that it goes.

02:19 Legend. Kiwis rejoice.

02:24 We are rejoicing so talk us through this replay.

02:29 Yeah so up at the top there that air it's only five feet tall but man it's a

02:32 scary one you do not want to fall and then he actually got quite a bit of

02:37 slough moving here really really hard to come back across your slough like that

02:42 you can see him kind of get white room there but yeah I hit the Hollywood this

02:46 morning and man there's no way I would have 360'd that and it was sick and

02:51 perfect and it's done that's progression right there and the bottom one was

02:55 insane to look at him pop off the tails.

02:58 Yeah it was nuts.

02:59 It looked like coming across on that left foot that it was kind of bouncing

03:02 him and the little wind feature before looked like it might have bounced him

03:05 out of balance but instead of getting freaked out or pushed out of balance

03:09 instead he just did a perfect core three so Finn Billis just showing every little

03:14 bit of skill that he's got he is in the finish and stoked to be there now the

03:20 judges get to work Oscar Mandan's run a huge one but Finn Billis definitely

03:25 laying down a statement on the back with a world's first and the score is coming

03:29 in and it's going to be huge a 93-3-3 for Finn Billis.
