00:00Yeah, Tegan definitely can be proud of herself because she picked something which was right on her edge of capabilities and pulled it through.

00:06Next one is Amélie Martin, out of France, 16 years old, and...

00:14Hello to France, hello to all the dads, moms and coaches who are with us,

00:19who are watching the Freeride Tuning World Championships on the screens right now.

00:23And good luck to Amélie Martin!

00:26Out of La Clusaz, from the club Sports de La Clusaz, crazy good resort.

00:33Oh yeah, Seb Mijot, one of the greatest backflip riders of all times is there,

00:38trains the Freeride team, big up for Seb, and the crew there, you do a great job training all those kids.

00:44And you trained Amélie how to go fast, jeez!

00:47Yeah, great technique!

00:48Blasting out that upper part, yeah!

00:50Definitely the fastest runner of the Snowboard Women we've seen so far,

00:54she's making short work of that upper part of the winder.

00:57Strong legs and a lot of speed, just dodging those tracks.

01:00Looks like a skier plowing just right through them.

01:03She's also writing that she's doing a lot of physical training, kite surfing as well.

01:07Oh, that definitely paid off, you can tell it's in her terms.

01:09And jumping on airbags.

01:11Nice, also jumping right into the halfpipe now.

01:14Very interesting to see if she stays in the halfpipe or if she decides to move into the nor,

01:18just like Tegan before, and looks like she goes for a little gully.

01:24Fluid entrance, oh beautiful, that looks like Alaska!

01:28Floating over those rocks like it would be nothing, eh?

01:31Wow, spectacular run by Amélie Martin from La Clusaz.

01:35Now a little cartwheel unfortunately got stuck somewhere.

01:38Oh, what happened there, right in the middle of a turn?

01:39Yeah, finding that nice exit though.

01:45Exit air again with full speed.

01:48Wow, that was an almost perfect run except for that middle hiccup, but strong performance.

01:53Very strong performance by Amélie Martin.

01:56Super strong riding, like great, great speed.

01:59You can tell that she's a really, really good rider and well-trained as well.

02:03She also picked a very beautiful line, like linking a couple of different features.

02:08And what I really like about her, not only that she says that Maren Harty, multiple world champion,

02:12is one of her heroes, but also her dad.

02:13That makes me proud, his dad.

02:16If a daughter says that in the Freer Junior World Championships.

02:19Yeah, Marion Harty is a hero, it's a good choice.

02:22She comes in here full speed at the frontside turn, and then we didn't see the little hiccup there.

02:28But she showed some super confident riding with a lot of speed and strong legs.

02:33Looks like she had another hiccup there in the outrun, but this might have been after the judging.

02:37It's definitely after the judging, yeah.

02:39So, well, we saw some really, really good sections and some very technical action she showed.

02:49And really cool to see.

02:52Man, those turns, lady, amazing.

03:00Yeah, Amélie, we're cheering for you for sure.

03:07And yeah, she can be proud of herself, because also finding that line is not so super easy.

03:12Like, she really had to memorize quite a lot of different things.

03:16And I was really impressed by her power, the strength of her legs,

03:19like the speed she showed in those turns and how she defied the tracks

03:24and the difficult snow conditions in the upper part was really spectacular.

03:29And she's only 16 years old, so a lot more time to learn some more.

03:34And with that pace technique she already has, her coaches will be quite happy about her.

03:41Oh, I'm sure, yeah.

03:42There's no winning competitions anymore these days without spending a lot of time in the gym

03:46and training those muscles to have them when you need them.

03:50Yeah, also she is not a super experienced rider yet.

03:54She's only competed on eight events.

03:56So for that, and you also have to see the potential of progression,

04:01which is definitely there for Amélie to really get one of the big names of freeriding.

04:06Yeah, but I mean, last year she competed in seven events and won six out of those.

04:10Including three of the junior three stars.

04:13So she is really a very strong rider and we can't wait to get the score.

04:19She's also looking at the scoreboard.

04:22We see the smoke going up over the judge's head right next to us here.

04:25Yeah, but so she's only competing since last year

04:28and managed to actually navigate such a complex line in those conditions,

04:33which is really, really amazing.

04:34I'm stoked to see what's coming next with the snowboard ladies.

04:37So all you boys and girls out there, if you like freeride snowboarding

04:40and you ever think about doing competition, well, then go right for it.

04:43And we might see you in a year or two here at the Freeride Junior World Championships

04:46battling for the title.

04:48Love to see you here, battling for the title,

04:50and also love to see you at all the other junior events

04:53which are spread all over the world,

04:54always with very dedicated crews on beautiful venues.

04:58And it's also good times to find friends sharing the same passion.

05:03Yeah, Amélie!
