Nike 6.0 Stairset Battle Tour - Les Arcs

Nike 6.0 Stairset Battle Tour 2010/11 - Tour Stop #4

Les Arcs, France

Blue skies, great vibes and tons of gnarly tricks -- these are the ingredients for a perfect end of the year event! A total of 28 of the best French jib riders unleashed their tricks at the fourth official stop of the Nike 6.0 Stairset Battle Tour 2010/11 on December 29th 2010 at French resort, Les Arcs.

A record-breaking 1.000 spectators witnessed this TTR 2-Star event with clear blue skies and spring-like temperatures. At an altitude of 1,800m, Les Arcs offers slopes and obstacles for all skill levels, not to mention clubs, restaurants and other amenities.
But once again, all eyes were on the stairset for this battle, and the French locals brought their best tricks at a high level, including lots of 360s and hardway 270s.
The action was enhanced by two French MCs on the mics, supported by exclusive DJs from Paris who brought good vibes and bopping heads all day.

When it came to deciding on the winner, judges at Les Arcs were facing a tough decision, with two riders going head-to-head the entire session. But finally, first place went to Pierre Rué, who landed his two best tricks first try in the final run straight out the gate; FS360 to 50-50, followed by BS360 to 50-50. Next to first place honors, this has earned Pierre the Ticket to the Grand Final of the tour at Nike 6.0 Air & Style 2011 in Munich, Germany on February 12th, 2011!

Second place went to Niels Schack for technical trickery including BS 180-sw BS 180 Revert and sw Backlip 270 down the Kink Ledge. Special honors went to 11-years old Faine Raisson as the youngest competitor of the weekend, who proved that the next generation of rail hitters is well underway in France.

The fourth stop of the tour, Les Arcs raised the bar in terms of atmosphere and tricks once again. So we are looking forward to the next high-octane battles under blue skies.
