KOMBI TEAM KILLS IT AT NIPPON OPEN!

A near perfect event for the team yesterday, in the Inawashiro World Cup Halfpipe event, with Matt Hayward leading the way!

The crowds for the event were huge, loud, and absolutely stoked to watch the halfpipe event here in Inawashiro, in a perfectly prepared pipe. All 3 team members threw down awesome runs, turning in the best overall team performance of the season, resulting in 1 World Cup medaL and two fourth place finishes.

In the women’s event, Roz G was stomping 900s in semis and in finals, qualifying fourth, and
retaining the same position in the final, just missing the podium.

Matt Hayward and Justin Dorey were putting on an airshow in the men’s event. With some help from our super duper wax technician, Kenny Nault from Swix, the guys were launching way bigger than anyone else, and throwing an incredible assortment of technical, stylish, and progressive maneuvers.

In the final, Hayward started his run with an absolutely perfect 1260, setting the tone for the rest of his run, which was huge and smooth. His first run score of 46.50 proved unmatchable by the rest of the field, and he earned his second World Cup Gold Medal of the season. Justin Dorey was going crazy in the pipe, taking chances and linking together all sorts of technical combos. He narrowly missed the podium and ended up finishing fourth.

ROS G. PLACES 3RD JUSTIN DOREY PULLS IN 4TH @ JEEP “48 Straight” IN SQUWA VLLEY, CA

Under sunny skies Rosalind Groenewoud was throwing down some 900s and 720s as well. She qualified 2nd for the super-final, and ended up in the 3rd place position. This marks her second podium appearance in the last 2 weeks, after earning a 3rd place at the US Freeskiing Open in Copper Mt. last weekend.

On the men’s side, Justin Dorey was on fire, going absolutely massive, and linking some unbelievably technical combinations. His final run was looking destined for the podium until a missed hit near the end of run put him on the deck, and in the end he finished in 4th place.

Matt Hayward was unable to compete due to a rib injury sustained in training on Saturday.

The team is now off to Japan for a World Cup event followed by the Nippon Freeskiing open.
