Little lama just got back home and is now enjoying a jetlag after killing it at his first X-games US appearance.
First up was the big air competition, 10 riders, best 5 advanced into the finals. Seppe was in the first heat and made it trough with BS 12 and Cab 12 ! In the finals the level went trough the roof on this years massive gap jump !

The spectators witnessed tripple corks being thrown down by both Torstein and Mark. Seppe himself stepped it up as well landing BS 12 and a Cab 14 which got him 5th place in the end !

Slopestyle was up next, Seppe had already qualified himself for the finals the day before in 6th place. In the first ever night session slopestyle 8th of the worlds best riders were to battle it out again !

In the finals the snow got really fast which made it hard for the riders to link all their tricks together and not overshoot the jumps. The pressure was on after Seppe couldn’t land his first 2 runs. But in the last run he landed every trick he wanted ! “for sure the best run of my life” was the first thing he said afterwards ! He was hoping for a top 3 spot after this run, but in the end the judges gave him a 5th place ! All in all a good first X-games experience for Seppe getting two 5th place finishes ! We’re allready looking forward to next year !

We still have his runs from both slopestyle and big air for you !
