Freestyle CH Finals Marc-Andre Tarte makes it 3 in a row
In the quarter final the two Finnish
spin specialists Antti Autti and Risto Mattila met one another. With
a Backside 720° perfectly stomped, Risto Mattila qualified for one
of the two final places. The second duel to get into the final took
place between Mathieu Crepel (FRA) and the double "freestyle.champ"
Marc André Tarte (CAN). Tarte inspired the public and the Judges
with a surprising Onefoot Backflip and although he could not land it
cleanly, he continued to pull, in order to begin in the large final
against Risto Mattila. The Finn fell on a 900° Tailgrab. Again Tarte
showed a Onefoot Backflip, but also with the second attempt the
Canadian fell - however only in the runout. Tarte referred the Finn
the second place. "with my having trick Tarte goes after the winner
honour for me today a dream into fulfilment". In the small final
Mathieu Crepel beat out Antti Autti for third place.
