Sarah Burke wins Dew Tour- SnowBasin, UT |
Roxy athletes Sarah Burke and Kjersti Buaas traveled to Utah this past weekend to compete in the second stop of the Dew Tour. Women’s Freeskiing was only given this stop to show the public and the organizers what they were capable of. Sarah, a pioneer in freeskiing and a consummate proponent for expanding women’s place in it, showed up and threw down. In the finals on Saturday after falling on an inverted trick in her first run, she went back up to lay it down right. With all the girls in the finals really upping the amplitude and difficulty of tricks, Sarah needed to combine them all. Landing a 540, 720 and a 900 all with amazing amplitude and style, Sarah pulled off her second Dew Tour win.
Kjersti’s day didn’t pan out like she would have liked today on the women’s slopestyle finals. After getting her Cab 5 down on the first jump and combo-ing into a backside 3, she just couldn’t get her 720 landed off the last jump. After finshing in third in the half pipe in the first Dew Tour stop in Breckenridge, Kjersti still shows her overall skills as a multi talented rider by qualifying for finals in slopestyle at this stop.
