And winner was crowned Lee Stone from United Kingdom, competing on T-Max Cream Powered Revolver R, manufactured by his own company, Lee Stone Products. A little bit nervous, I had a few issues with the ski today, so the ski wasn't, we found a problem that we couldn't fix. But I still tried to do the double backflip today, it was a little bit shorter than what I was hoping for, but with the ski not running perfect, I was happy to go that far. All European Freestyle Championship events include Best Trick Competition, in which riders are pushing for new tricks and combos we would not see in their competition routines. Best Trick Beginner Freestyle won Michael Berkmans from Belgium. Best Trick Freestyle 800 won Jakub Panak from Czech Republic.
