00:00 have been a mixed bag. We back up to the top the Verbier rider part of the Gourry crew out of the
00:06 Freeride squad at Verbier Martin Bender 2022 junior world champion now he is on the Freeride world
00:14 tour and this is another explosive young talent who needs a win or a very very good result to get
00:20 himself on the good side of the cut. Bender sitting in 18th right now we're only taking 11
00:26 into final so he needs a bang and run only 19 years old though Katie incredible how young
00:30 these riders are and how good they are. So much air awareness Derek he goes so big when he goes
00:37 and here he is back flipping off of that wind lip stomping it and making his way down through this
00:43 next section to line up this feature 360 stomped perfect landing there for Martin Bender now coming
00:53 with a bundle of speed with the cork seven and stomping it getting on that left foot across
00:59 so he's still going to be able to get that final feature Martin Bender giving himself
01:05 a absolute heater of a run pumping down this bottom section now
01:09 boosting this transfer what a run
01:19 hands in the air fist bump yeah well Bender has had he's had a tough start to his world
01:26 tour career this is his first stomp run a 13th and a 21st wow and now a huge one when he stomps he stomps
01:34 really similar line to Marcus Gogan
01:49 finally I land a run so good he is stoked
01:54 so happy for Martin to be able to put a run down there absolutely love it wow let's take a look at
02:05 it again Derek right off the top a huge air off that blind cliff out of the start gate and then
02:12 into this massive backflip textbook oh perfect connection with the snow then the 360 here
02:25 right away into 360 and then sending towards this big lip that we saw Marcus Gogan 720 off and
02:33 another 720 here from Martin Bender that was a huge move and look at this the technique to lay
02:41 on that downhill ski and then boosting across gets high in the air shifting out and rallying
02:47 into the finish and you can see right here the body language just explosive as he finally put
02:53 down we knew this kid had it in him and so to finally see him put one down when it counts
02:59 Martin Bender an enormous performance here in the Georgia Pro
03:02 the boys back home we saw them come out to support him win the gorilla suit
03:10 in the verbiage comp so here we go score dropping for Martin Bender another into the 90s
03:16 the young swiss rider doing what he needed to do Martin Bender into second with a 94
03:28 point run the judges gobbling that up five riders
