00:00This is Cody Bramwell here, and we're just about to go through my winning run in Snowboard

00:13Men from yesterday on the Yeti Extreme Verbier by Honda.

00:17This is Cody Bramwell, and this man is riding a wave of confidence.

00:22So here, super nervous, but I had my music on, I was in a good mood, I was feeling for

00:28some reason very confident, which is kind of rare for me.

00:31Hit like a little shark there, kind of freaked me out a bit, but then I knew I had to hug

00:36this little rock here, that was like kind of my pinpoint to just go from that rock and

00:41then straight towards, yeah, the peak of this little booter.

00:45Basically hug this rock and pinpoint like exactly in this direction, so I had like this

00:51as a little, yeah, as a little guidance.

00:53I had talked to a lot of snowboarders beforehand and kind of checked a little bit where they're

00:57going to start from, and I was 99% sure I was going to be the first one jumping into

01:03this section.

01:04So if someone had jumped this before me, I'm not sure I wouldn't have been able to do this

01:08whole like section maneuver, because if there's a few tracks in there, it would be so hard

01:12to take down your speed because it's such a tight, tight section.

01:16So I went a bit bigger than I expected here, so I landed and I was like pretty much straight

01:21away at my cliff.

01:22I knew I had to keep the momentum going.

01:25I was pretty worried about landing and then getting hit by the slough and like falling

01:30in this area here.

01:32So I was like, I need to do this whole section pretty quick, like, so I don't hit this slough

01:36here.

01:37The slough almost hit me, but it wasn't that much.

01:42I was thinking about doubling this, but I knew if I was going to double this, it would

01:46be super hard to get to the wind lip.

01:49Wanted the back of this one, but obviously I didn't have enough speed, so I just came

01:52over it.

01:54Then this one, went for the back three.

01:58I don't like this back three.

01:59I think it's pretty ugly, but I made it happen.

02:02I was thinking about maybe hitting this one, but I front punched this one before and it

02:06always has like some really like crusty snow in here.

02:09I was just super nervous.

02:12I just wanted to obviously land my run like I had such a good top section.

02:15I felt like I had something, something was cooking, it was good.

02:18If I got the three, I'm just going to gun it down.

02:24So you start here with 50 points like everybody else, and that backflip with normal speed,

02:30you would have probably landed there.

02:32That would have been probably with a straight air, probably a five point jump, but you probably

02:38jumped twice the size.

02:40So we rewarded you 10 points for the jump and an extra 10 points for the backflip.

02:45So that's 70 points.

02:47As judges, what we liked, number one, the commitment in speed that he took.

02:52He flew much longer than we thought he would.

02:56The second one is with how narrow the landing is and how much space there is for yourself

03:03to control your speed.

03:06That was a critical turn, critical breakdown, and you gain an extra five points of control

03:11there.

03:12You're at 75 points.

03:13Then the next part, which was very impressive for us is, yeah, we see all this slough coming

03:19down and the natural tendency would be to maybe stop there and wait for the slough to

03:23go until you can see your exit.

03:26But no, Cody commits to keep going, jumps that, goes through the slough.

03:31He's probably quite blind there.

03:33That's a beautiful sequence with another 10 points there.

03:36So you're now at 85 points.

03:39So most of your score is already there.

03:41Yeah, I didn't know we could get points for that control section in between.

03:47We always think about features, but I guess it is such a crucial part of the run as well.

03:52Here it's small, it's grabbed, it's okay, but it's a three point.

03:57I'll take it.

03:58Here the size of the jump is good, there's the added 360.

04:03Normally it's like a six point air.

04:05With the added 360, you could have doubled it to a 12 point, but without the grab, the

04:10style was not perfect.

04:12So I gave you 10 points for it.

04:13So from 88, you're at 98.

04:15So almost max score there.

04:17There was an obvious feature that could have been taken on your line to optimize your line

04:21choice perfectly.

04:23You decided not to go, so you're losing a few points from the judges, but it might have

04:28been a really smart move because that jump was very difficult to take.

04:33A lot of people fell on that landing and that's it.

04:35That's probably one of the most beautiful snowboard run we've seen on the Petit Bec ever.
