00:00get sharked out there so Michaela's gonna be need to need to be light on her
00:04feet coming through here as we said out of Newcastle Australia spending a ton of
00:09time in Revelstoke BC Michaela Davis-Meehan looking to get it done and I
00:14am not surprised one bit that she chose the powderiest side of this venue that's
00:20where she thrives that's where she is in her happy place and Michaela now out of
00:24the start gate from start one you can see how many rocks just litter the top
00:30of this venue making super technical turns in and around them taking her
00:36first feature again everything below is just rock had to land it did so without
00:43any issues and riding her way down through this shady section of the venue
00:47yeah and Michaela getting a grab off that first feature so really with a nod
00:52to that Aaron style category as she comes down now we see the tracks ahead
00:57of her this area is getting more traveled or has has been more traveled
01:01as she's got this wind let pop in the 360 a little short but staying on her
01:06feet I think maybe she didn't have quite as much speed into that wind lip as she
01:09thought but she did stay upright so Michaela Davis-Meehan now on her
01:14campaign for extreme verbiage glory as she comes in now you see the heavy
01:19traffic that this part of the face is seen and Michaela not only has to
01:23navigate the features but all of those tracks as well yeah look how big the
01:26bomb holes are below this feature just massive really smart going a completely
01:30different direction avoiding everything below her getting control on that heel
01:35set edge and here comes the heartbreaker but I think she's taking a play out of
01:41the ski women whoa finding her own takeoff and her own landing a totally
01:46different trajectory there for Michaela Davis-Meehan and executing it perfectly
01:51so strategy coming into play we saw that one taking down so many riders in other
01:57categories ski snowboard men and women and Michaela Davis-Meehan putting her
02:03own stamp on that one and finding a way to keep it clean and on her feet as she
02:08is through the arch safe and sound at the bottom of the back you know I think
02:13when you ride the back with someone else that is a bond for life Michaela
02:17making memories here and just showing great technical riding and and unique by
02:22going out of that start that we didn't see too many people ride today yeah
02:26looking back at the way she opened this up Hadley a really strong way to start
02:30her run yeah past the bomb hole I think that was Martin Bender's bomb hole
02:35potentially and making her way every feature so smart that she hit was a
02:40different takeoff and finding her own fresh landing yeah three big hits on
02:45that run and all of them landing perfectly Michaela coming off the
02:51riders left side finding a nice landing able to manage that weird crusty snow
02:57that took down so many skiers and some of the snowboard men as well so Michaela
03:01all smiles in the finish hands up solid solid season of riding for the Australian
03:08there as she right now is in second overall as we said the title is not in
03:12play for snowboard women today Noemi Aki locked that up but a win on the back is
03:17almost as valuable in the trophy case so the score to beat 74 going up up up 83
03:23points for Michaela Davis Meehan
