00:00Again, with the French rider coming out of Chamonix,
00:03and she is on course out of start two.
00:05Yeah, kicking things off with an air.
00:07Got a grab there.
00:09And while she won here last year,
00:11she has not been on this venue before.
00:12So this is all new to her.
00:13She is taking that little traverse over
00:15through the shelf feature.
00:16She's on the far rider's left side
00:19of this venue, which is kind of the big mountain,
00:22meaty side with some big cliffs, big features,
00:25and some big exposure.
00:26Yeah, so the Chamonix rider picking off
00:28what she is right at home with, the steep, gnarly terrain.
00:32And Ana Martinez getting into an untapped section
00:35of the Ozone face.
00:36You can see the spray of the snow.
00:38Beautiful champagne powder.
00:40Ana right off the nose of that, stomping as well.
00:43Two stomped airs, nice and clean.
00:45This is area that might have sun crest if something
00:48has a little south kick to it.
00:49So we'll see if that gets her at all.
00:50But right now, it does not look like it.
00:52She is just getting down the mountain fluidly,
00:55lots of turns, coming into this couloir feature,
01:00kind of a cool gully, a little air in the middle, nice,
01:02stomps it, and she is coming out with a lot of heat,
01:05speeding through down on that apron section.
01:08Pointing it out of the couloir.
01:09So Ana Martinez getting it done quick and fast
01:14as she flies now, well, losing actually
01:17a little bit of speed.
01:17It does get extremely flat right before that finish.
01:20So the judges have said they're not going to dock fluidity
01:22for riders that need to unstrap to push across the line
01:26as we take a look back at the run of Ana Martinez.
01:28Yeah, this is her first air, opening it up.
01:30Nice, solid landing into that heelside turn.
01:33And then she drops right into another air.
01:36Just looks fun.
01:36That looks like a fun line, just a really fall line.
01:39Riding, making her way through these kind of shrubby trees,
01:42and then off her third air.
01:44Yeah, I really like the way she presses the back foot in first
01:47there to keep the board from going under,
01:48the nose of the board from going under.
01:50Ana, even though she is relatively new to the World
01:54Tour, only in her second year, she rides like a veteran.
01:57She's got that big mountain savvy.
01:59So walking across the line there for Ana Martinez.
02:02All smiles.
02:03Such a strong start for her on her Free Ride World Tour
02:06career.
02:07And she's going to be looking to jump things up.
02:09She's sitting right now in third overall.
02:11And I think she's going to want to step that up.
02:13And that run was definitely a good start to her campaign.
02:16Yeah, like you said, she's new, sort of,
02:18to the Free Ride World Tour.
02:19But she's really known for her clean, consistent riding.
02:28All right.
02:28Well, the judges dropping in quick on this run.
02:30A 78.
02:32Nice.
02:32So Ana Martinez is going to be taking over the hot seat
02:35from.
