Nippon Open Finals

$Hey folks!

Today was the Big air finals in Nippon Open 2009 held.

we were 4 norwegians in the semi finals, but only 3 got to the finals.

It was Fridtjof Fredricson, Alexander Aurdal and PC Fosse.

it was like 100 people overall, and we stood in the final, 3 out of 4 norwegians of 12 in the final.

It was 2 heat.

First out was Fridtjof Fredricson he did a forward 12 but lost hes ski in the landing and fell. and then it was Alexander Aurdal, he did a kangaroo flip japan, but he overrotated and fell haard! he dident remember much afterwords. Last norwegian guy out was me, i did a kangaroo flip 900 japan, and landed quit good, then i did a pretty large 540 mute in the quarter.

In the second heat was it Fridtjof Fredricson again, he did a forward 12 nosemute and stomped it this time, then he did a 900 safty in the quarter pipe, i think he was pretty stoked about hes run.

Second guy out was Alexander Aurdal, he dident do a tricks because of the BIG crash at the rist jump.Last guy out was me again, this time i did a kangaroo flip 900 japan, and stomped it, then in the quarter i go very huge in the quarter with a 540 nosemute poke, when i landed my ski fell off, but i managed to stand anyways, so i dident got any minus for that. was very stoked for my kangaroo flip, it was one of my best kangaroo ever.

When it was Price award, we were very, very, very nervous, first the speaker said the 4th place: Charles Gagnier, then he said the 3th place: Guillaume Sbrava, then the speaker said for the 2nd: PC Fosse, never been so stooked in my whole life, and first place did Jossi Wells won!

I got 450.000 japanese money or 30.000 norwegian kroners.
