00:00 And this is the last rider in the snowboard women's field. It is Estelle Rizzolio
00:05 Free ride by day. She's coding and DJing by night and
00:08 Decrypting and destroying systems of oppression Estelle now on course here on the back
00:14 She made a really strong impression on her first year on tour with a couple of podiums ending up third overall
00:21 She certainly proved that she can play in the big leagues
00:25 Yeah, one of the things that stood out in Estelle's riding to me often last year was it was checkers or wreckers
00:32 She would go huge and she was on the podium or she would go huge and we'd see her tomahawking
00:37 I never really saw a medium run from her
00:40 So we'll see if she holds up to that as Estelle
00:42 Heelside making her way across this top section goofy foot
00:46 That means so trickier to be above that exposure on your heels side edge
00:50 It does but there's lots to play with on this side of the venue and she is pushed out further than anyone else
00:55 So I'm very curious to see what she's got for us. Yeah in a completely fresh zone
01:00 No tracks out here, but what there are are plenty of feature options as Estelle
01:06 Lining herself up above many options be interesting to see which one she chooses
01:11 So catching some air they're catching the grab and riding out really strong
01:18 She's still got more action below her
01:20 Yeah
01:21 And backing herself on that upper air because as you could see there if that doesn't go right you are in a world of hurt
01:28 Now Estelle with a jump turn that tells you how steep it is that you have to toss your board in the air
01:33 To even get it around and clean through that section too as Estelle makes her way now through those goalpost rocks
01:39 There is a feature here
01:40 She's gonna slash instead get that powder glory at the bottom just trying to stay out of other people's tracks Estelle Rossellio
01:47 Now coming down over another chunky rock section
01:50 Got some more to play with here
01:55 She's lining it up and riding out super strong straight lining towards the finish
02:02 This one will have Nuria worried
02:04 I think that was a really really strong run from Estelle and it was packed with features
02:08 Really good at the start and then all the way down
02:12 She just had hit after hit after hit every single one of them clean never even a hint of control loss or hand down or anything
02:19 So Estelle Rossellio the last rider down with a really really strong statement here for women snowboard
02:25 Big smiles from Estelle
02:32 Catching the grab on that one just looking
02:36 rock solid
02:39 Between features as well here. She had a little bit of hesitation to find her takeoff that just rides out so strong
02:45 Yeah, and I really think the judges
02:48 Those kinds of hesitations are going to be looked upon kindly because they allow you to put yourself into the right position on the face
02:56 When you're hesitating for I guess no reason that's gonna really ding you on fluidity
03:01 But things like that
03:03 There's definitely going to be a little bit of space for if you're if you're controlling yourself before releasing into a big move
03:08 So Estelle down there all smiles in the finish as the judges tabulating
03:13 They're racking up exactly what she did against those five criteria and the score coming in
03:18 This is gonna be at 63 3 3 so Estelle moving her way into
