The Oakley Arctic Challenge 2011 |  WATCH THE FINALS LIVE!

update | semifinals

After yesterday’s 1st men heat was over, it became quite scary for Zack Stone (CAN) and Sven Thorgren (SWE), who occupied the last two rankings in their heat and were qualified for the final -so far. In the second heat Seppe Smits (BEL) and Mark McMorris (CAN) did an incredible run and kicked Thorgren and Stone out of the finals. Too bad for them! Sage Kotsenburg did an unbelievable Cab 12 Double Cork and stoked everyone around.

Jamie Anderson (USA) stomped a Switch BS 540, sending a clear signal to here competitors, after a nice Switch BS 180 in the warm-up. Jenny Jones (UK), Cheryl Maas (NED), Kjersti Buuas (NOR) did also a great performance and proved, that the finals won’t be let go that easy by none of them. 13-year old female young gun Ty Walker (USA), missed the ticket for the final very close, by making 7th place, but we will see probably see much stuff from here in future!

We will be excited watching the finals, starting now in the next few hours. Ethan Morgan (GER) killed it with a huge 90,1 score yesterday, taking the first place in front of Tyler Flanagen (USA | 87,8) and Eric Willet (USA | 87,3). The snow conditions are almost perfect right now, so we can be sure to watch a really nice slopestyle contest, with a big trick level guaranteed! Stay tuned.
