00:00 - To Jonathan Penfield, he's sitting on a fourth
00:03 and a ninth in six overall.
00:05 Jon Pau has had an epic.
00:08 He was in Munich last night with no equipment at all.
00:11 He's in a bit of a cobbled together kit.
00:13 He's got his own boots, he's got his own jacket,
00:16 and everything else is pieced together
00:18 from the rest of the crew.
00:19 So Jon Pau on course now.
00:21 - Heading right into those blind rolls.
00:23 If there's anyone that can just show up and make it count,
00:26 it's Jonathan Penfield, boosting off that blind roller
00:28 and a beautiful backside 360 to open it up.
00:32 - Smooth sailing here for Jonathan Penfield
00:36 as he comes into this sun patch on top of this rollover.
00:39 You can see just how blind it is.
00:41 Jon airing off that section and onto his feet.
00:44 So keeping it clean so far.
00:46 - Such a beautiful rider.
00:47 Nice shifty right into that sun pocket
00:50 and making his way down through the guts of this gully,
00:52 finding some more features and making them count.
00:56 - Yeah, now back over into the section
00:57 where we saw Victor go with the first run.
00:59 He's got Victor's track, so he knows it works.
01:02 Big backside three connecting Jonathan Penfield.
01:06 He got here at two o'clock in the morning last night.
01:09 He's not even been in Georgia for 12 hours yet.
01:13 And he has just laced this thing and he's not done, Katie.
01:17 - Knowing what Jonathan has been up against
01:19 and seeing the way that he is riding
01:21 just further confirms this man
01:23 as one of the most impressive snowboarders in the field.
01:27 - Wow, what an absolutely spectacular, I'm shaking.
01:31 - He's just white rooming himself at the end there.
01:34 Jon Pow, truly like against all odds.
01:38 He couldn't have faced more adversity
01:40 and he just laced that run so well.
01:43 Big hugs for Victor.
01:44 Victor was another victim of some lost luggage.
01:46 He got his this morning.
01:47 Katie, let's look at this replay.
01:49 - Let's see it.
01:50 So he heads into that blind roller,
01:51 nice grab and then right into a backside 360
01:55 off of that second air.
01:57 It's totally blind.
01:58 I can't express that enough.
02:00 - And the landing just looks so soft.
02:03 This one kept rolling to vertically
02:05 and to pop off his tail just to get into the air
02:07 up onto this, getting the method there.
02:10 I hope that one of the still photographers
02:11 got a piece of that one.
02:13 And then coming into this rugged bottom section,
02:15 back three, just like we saw Victor do.
02:17 - So smooth.
02:18 - Unbelievable run.
02:19 - Finding that last head there.
02:20 - Yeah, he got an extra feature.
02:21 Nice shifty and then just enjoying that blower pow.
02:26 Wow, I am so impressed.
02:30 - All right, well, the line tracker just showing
02:31 Jon Pau's path down the mountain today
02:35 as he has found, I mean, he only saw this
02:38 for the first time about an hour and a half ago.
02:40 So he got into town at two o'clock in the morning,
02:43 got eyes on the face an hour ago
02:45 and he just put down, what is it gonna be?
02:47 Is he gonna go up into 88?
02:50 Into second for Jonathan Penfield.
02:52 Unbelievable performance for this man.
