Videos der Woche #13 2019/20 | Who is Yu? + Sam!

Credit to Yu Sasaki and Sam Anthamatten

von Sebastian Müller 15.02.2020
There are freeriders, not only you and me from the German speaking parts of the Alps, but also Japanese freeriders, like Yu Sasaki. He is familiar to us from FWT competitions. I watched Kicking Horse and Yu's run i.m.h.o. would have been the winning line if he hadn't screwed up the drop from the wind lip on top of the face, which was penalized by the judges. ContestGeschehen didn't mention his run, thus, in order to let justice and mercy prevail, we honor Yu's great line and big drop here!

Eventually I have to conclude the episode with Sam Anthamatten, who in all of his FWT carreer has also had some stupid crashes that ruined his precious winning lines. So, PG VdW claims wildcards for Yu and Sam at Verbier 2020!

A little introduction to our protoganist

Yu Sasaki lives in Revelstoke and runs a food truck of Japenese food in summer. He aims to compete in Verbier 2020!

Yu at Kicking Horse 2020

In my english words: riding smoothly towards the wind lip, hitting it sideways and dumping into the deep snow, getting out of it fairly untroubled. Then aiming at the "Rodney Cliff", not hit by any other rider before or after, going for it and hitting the deepest drop of the competition, stomping it perfectly, steering towards the next trannie, hitting and stomping it perfectly as well. Ninth place... Petition for upscore or Verbier Wildcard?
