WRT 2012 Avoriaz – 3nd Day Finals from Board.tv on Vimeo.
The event finals were moved in the bottom park “La Chapelle” because of the strong winds in the higher areas of the resort. Ludvig from Sweden won the event with a solid run consisting of fs720, bs540, cab720 and swithc bs540. Gathering riders from 8 nations, this was the first 3star Rookie Fest event ever organized in France, and it was possible thanks to the cooperation with “MySnowboarding” French Snowboard Initiative.
