00:00 Back to the top though, Ben Richards a product of the New Zealand Junior Free
00:06 Ride Tour. I love watching Ben, he's so smooth but so powerful. He's so stylish Derek.
00:13 And taking a huge cross-court air. On the pyramid now coming down into this lower
00:22 section with the flat spin and another bolts landing. This is textbook. Look at this just
00:31 pop and so controlled stopping it like it was nothing. And a huge three just getting it around
00:38 getting a little fucked but staying in control and look at the footwork off that bottom.
00:45 Kiwi athlete Ben Richards the smoothest man on skis. 360 on top of the Hauzel and going huge.
00:54 He skis so fast and yet so fluid and clean. Another big 360 there not even the hint of a
01:05 speed check flying over all of that. Another huge cross-court three. And now just electing to go
01:15 full fall line. Our winner today in ski men is Ben Richards.
01:21 Now Ben coming into the Hollywood we saw Finn spin this. Ben taking it deep and landing
01:30 perfectly getting on the right foot just to shed a little bit of speed. Holding on now trying to
01:35 control his speed. Huge 360 there and riding out so relaxed. Ben Richards with a front flip into
01:43 the finish perfect and that is why he is the people's champ folks. That's why he's your favorite skier's favorite skier.
