00:00 Well that was very well said by our current rankings leader De La Rue. A lot of the riders have nothing to lose
00:06 So they are going out guns blazing and we saw that with Liam Rivera
00:10 Now Victor has a chance to up that score
00:13 He was in second with Liam lacing that huge run right off the bat in snowboard men that has pushed Victor down to third
00:20 That's not a position he's familiar with and he's gonna want to rectify that right now
00:24 And I'm sure he's the man for the job dropping in from start one
00:29 Carrying some pace across that top section
00:31 360 in there
00:34 Yeah with the grab little nose butter losing a bit of momentum as Victor may be opting now not for that
00:41 Well, definitely opting not for the oh, no
00:43 He still goes for it, but was just a touch short and then tail pressing over those rocks
00:49 That was cat-like from De La Rue
00:52 Incredible reflexes there. He's still got his eyes on the prize
00:56 Lining up the next feature truly didn't think he had enough speed for that one
01:01 going back three off this bowling ball nugget
01:05 So Victor De La Rue not quite the perfection that we've seen from him in other events
01:10 But he is still cooking down the Viltiloter face
01:14 And he's got a lot more real estate to work with at the bottom and bottom section here
01:19 So he's carrying quite a lot of speed into what we've seen a lot of backies off so far
01:23 He goes opts for the three stomps the landing
01:27 So this was the section that kind of gobbled up some of Victor De La Rue's fluidity last time and this time he is not
01:35 Letting off the throttle as he set ops around
01:38 That cliff section cross fall line and getting over here where it's just a slightly cleaner run out
01:45 So Victor De La Rue now pinning it and it's I think that move is trademarked by his brother the Eagle or the screaming eagle
01:53 Putting the hands out trying to use the wings as rudders a little bit to slow down
01:58 I've seen Xavier do that on the Bec de Ross and on some big lines and film parts and Victor learning from the best
02:05 Well a hectic upper section there for De La Rue big hug
02:12 There for Liam Rivera as we look back at this top section of Victor De La Rue
02:17 Yeah, that snow is certainly getting pretty funky and you are right. He
02:22 Just comes short of that wind lip that manages to hold it all together
02:25 Unbelievably, I can't believe he managed to hold on to that
02:29 Popping the low speed back three off that section and landing cleanly on his feet
02:35 There is a control dock there from the video judge this back three
02:40 beautiful
02:42 That was that was a lot that was a lot of different
02:47 Feelings there on this run from Victor De La Rue getting the tail grab on that one
02:52 So top to bottom there was there was some some moments of brilliance and some moments of absolute hecticness
02:59 From the the current rankings leader
03:02 So there's some math to be done Victor De La Rue can become champion if he finishes
03:07 Anywhere on the podium and if he's fourth or fifth and neither John nor Timmy win
03:12 Then he still becomes champion. So all to play for as Victor De La Rue. He's
03:17 breathless in the finish and we'll wait to see if that's gonna trouble the
03:22 Hot seat run of Liam Rivera. My instinct is no. Yeah, I think it wasn't quite tidy enough
03:28 But still some moments of brilliance in there
03:32 Well, he always provides us with excitement. So De La Rue. Oh wow
03:37 90.67 for Victor De La Rue the judges loving the 360 over the transfer and the control
03:46 regained after he cased that.
