00:00 But this guy has had such a great season.
00:05 Starting off strong.
00:07 Come on, Anthony.
00:09 Anthony had been a part of the FIS competitions for many, many years
00:13 and just kind of came up watching it as a spectator.
00:17 And now he's one of the top athletes in the world.
00:20 Wow, flowing this huge 5-flare.
00:23 Made in France? No, no. Made in FIS.
00:27 Yeah.
00:29 That was a triple 360 tailwhip.
00:31 I think it was. Using the Spocks.
00:34 720, keeps it going.
00:36 Man, tons of speed still with 20 seconds left.
00:40 And this man is a true athlete.
00:42 On Instagram last week, he was doing some kind of heat training
00:45 where he was pedaling an indoor bike while having the heaters on him as well.
00:50 Landed sort of flat on that last flare whip.
00:53 Come on, Anthony.
00:54 Let's see if he keeps his speed up.
00:56 Quick no-hander. Keeps it going.
01:00 And that's going to be the time for Anthony Jean-Jean.
01:04 A couple of little hang-ups, but--oh, what did that?
01:07 But now we get to see Anthony Jean-Jean, the pride of France.
01:13 Backflip double tailwhip.
01:16 Come on, Anthony. Keep it going.
01:19 Yeah, 360 barspin.
01:22 Axe up, crossing the bars.
01:25 He just makes it look so easy sometimes,
01:28 and these are some of the hardest tricks in the world that he's throwing.
01:32 He has to pedal a bit in between the ramps, so that's messing up his flow a bit.
01:36 That's something that the judges will be looking at,
01:39 but still pretty solid riding. 720 by Anthony Jean-Jean.
01:44 Looks like he's back in the flow.
01:46 This little transfer across the hip, hit the pocket.
01:52 All right, what's he got?
01:55 Yes, flair tailwhip. Nice and high.
01:58 Still got 10 seconds left on that clock. Let's see what he has for us.
02:01 Barspin transfer over the channel.
02:04 A little wheelie down the channel.
02:07 On the edge of looping out, but he kept on going.
02:10 I feel like the things that started to go wrong in the first one
02:13 just were little tiny things, but he got them in that one.
02:16 He landed a little low over here, but it didn't stop his speed.
02:19 Kept it going.
