The freestylers of La Clusaz have once again had success in Tignes! The recent slopestyle event including a step-up, a step-doown and 3 big tables, saw the La Clusaz riders resort making some fantastic jumps of awesome height.

Some of the big European riders such as Mathias Wexcsteen and Charles Gagnier took part and La Clusaz's own Laurent Favre came 2nd, Loïc Collomb-Patton 5th and Aurélien Fornier 6th. Quite a result for the La Clusaz freestyle riders.
The 2nd day of the competition saw the riders takling the half-pipe, 120 m in length and 6 m in height. The freestyle elite lined up to compete. The La Clusaz riders gave their all, Laurent Favre coming 3rd, with ArnaudKugener in 1st and Xavier Bertoni 2nd.
Antoine Rachel, their trainer was elated by their results.
The next big competition of the extreme sports, is the X-Games, in the USA.Loïc Collomb-Patton, Laurent Favre and Candide Thovex will be sporting the La Clusaz colours! Good luck guys!!! ;)
