I get the feeling this won’t generate the same buzz as a Lindsey Vonn post on Unofficial yet it’s definitely worth a look. When it comes to sanctioned freeskiing competitions Tom Wallisch is a tough act to follow. With the first stop of this season’s Dew Tour now in the books Tom finds himself in a familiar position: on top of the podium. Couldn’t make it to Breckenfridge to freeze off your little keester and take in only a portion of the action live? Not to worry, Unofficial is bringing the best of the action to you. The scoop on Tom’s winning run: he makes it look all too easy. Here’s the take-away for all you aspiring freeskiing slopestylers out there: practice, practice, practice. Props to the Breck Park Crew: that slope course looked awesome – nice combo of rail and jump features, mixed throughout, rather than the oh-so typical start with rails/boxes and finish with 3-4 pack of jumps.
Inspired? Get out there and play. Hey, with low snowfall, now’s the perfect time to practice those Switch Un-Natural Double Cork 1080s. Congrats Tom Wallisch – pushing the bar again and again.
Couple other notes on the video: 1) All the action goes down in the first 1:15. 2) Don’t forget there’s an option on the YouTube video window to watch this in HD. 3) Can someone fill me in on why the announcer exclaims, “Oh Papi!!”?
Sweet! Now let’s see that at 1,000 fps
Yeah Tom!! PA representin’
Nice work Tom!
