Transcript

0:00 Speaker A: Intentionally calculated a two time winner. Speaker A: He'd love to add his name to the history books and be a three time winner number nine. Speaker A: But he's unapologetically, unapologetically selective about what he competes at. Speaker A: And that is why he's here. Speaker A: The pride of Swampton, British Columbia, looking for redemption. Speaker A: Brandon Semenuk on course off the start drop and opposite360.

0:25 Speaker A: So it's already begun here, the level of technical prowess. Speaker A: Suicide. Speaker A: No hander on the skimmer on the skipper. Speaker A: Now he's lining up to that on off rock. Speaker A: Let's see how many tires touch down. Speaker A: There we go. Speaker A: A manual on the rock. Speaker A: Can't stress how technical that is. Speaker A: The consequence if that manual gets dropped too early.

0:50 Speaker A: And here we go, controlling that bike. Speaker A: Stepping down twice on that double drop lily pad. Speaker A: There it is up onto the ridge where he threw away both runs last year. Speaker A: It's all, all coming together now for Brandon Semenuk. Speaker A: Now this step up crossing back to the other side of the venue. Speaker A: A huge topside knack knack. Speaker A: So much amplitude off the top of that steep lip.

1:16 Speaker A: And here we go. Speaker A: Expect big things out of this double drop flow onto the left. Speaker A: When did that just happen? Speaker A: What we're talking about, people. Speaker A: And then a backflip one footed can can on the step down rhythm section into Canada. Speaker A: 360. Speaker A: Look at that.

1:41 Speaker A: Brandon Semenuk after a clear stewing. Speaker A: Do you hear his echoing in the valley here? Speaker A: That is the redemption song he was looking for. Speaker A: Look at that point at the sticker. Speaker A: Doing it for 21. Speaker A: Wow, Brandon, that just happened to flip into the. Speaker A: That's, that's what we were waiting to see last year. Speaker A: We didn't get to see it.

2:06 Speaker A: I can see that whatever chip he had in his shoulder before that run spilled. Speaker A: Oh no, it was a bowl of salsa right at the end there. Speaker A: Did you see the body language? Speaker A: Him slapping the bike down? Speaker A: So much to talk about here, so much subtlety. Speaker A: Now this is a smart choice here to change that jump. Speaker A: Stay high on the ridge there. Speaker A: That 450 isn't going to hurt the score. Speaker A: It sure beats a crashed 720 any day of the week. Speaker A: But the fact of how much of this venue he's using.

2:33 Speaker A: He's crisscrossing across the valleys back up onto the ridges. Speaker A: The backflip one footed cancan on the step down. Speaker A: Now this rhythm section into this tall lip step down feature. Speaker A: Now it's almost like a cannon log that you'd see on a slopestyle contest. Speaker A: He does a really technical trip there, dropping the foot down and pushing off. Speaker A: Talk about technicality. Speaker A: You gotta land that flat backflip, no lip there, to initiate the rotation on that backflip and then immediately take off again on an overhead vertical drop.

3:03 Speaker A: So much to talk about here on this run. Speaker A: The judges are going to have their work cut out for them. Speaker A: Let's look at the rankings right now and try to foreshadow. Speaker A: Well, I know he's got it to better that top spot, 85.66, but as you pointed out, there was not one.
