 Side seven, hooting it down when it counts. There are a few things as magical as sunrise in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and what better way to spend a Friday than at the Yeti natural selection. We needed the last 72 hours, not just for the snow to reset, but also for the athletes to reset. TDIF, thank goodness it's finals. We've got a nice little balmy five degree day up here. I completely agree. We are also moving to the left side of the course. Conditions are going to be a lot better. We are going to witness the heaviest head to head matchups. We started this event with 24 riders on day one, but there can only be one champion. It is go time. Jared Elston, the first person to go through. We're going to see if Craven can force a tie break. Extration. Jared did what he needed to do. Torstein Horgmo, backside seven, sits it down. Did he leave the door open for Travis? This man had food poisoning that ruined him for the last 24 hours. Didn't know if he'd be able to run the day and is somehow here performing at this level. Torstein Horgmo here is in go mode. Who did Torstein Travis was going to be a battle. We got more snowboarding. Take it to three. Keep going again. Travis has the benefit of getting to watch what Torstein is going to do. He just went all out. We saw Travis in the tie breaker in the opening round. Can he do it again? That was a ferocious slam. Well, we are sad to say goodbye to Travis. What a matchup. It's been an honor to call it. Nickel bang against the local Blake Paul. What's a rush? Blake Paul, he is a fan favorite of the first back country jumps he ever hit were right here at Jackson ball. What? This is an incredible first run. Dude, you're like one of the sweetest riders out there for sure. Nickel with nothing to lose. Putting it down when it counts. More snowboarding. Nickel bang on course. Backside 720. Nickel goes down. It ain't over though. He would like nothing more than to advance. Look at the control and poise he has in between those features. Critical choices that Nickel made off the top get him to advance. Oh boy. That should he, isn't it from last year? Is it is Ben Ferguson versus Sage Kotzenberg? They're homies, but no love lost today. Ben Ferguson is here to win. Not able to ride out clean, but continuing on. Horrible challenger. Sage Kotzenberg looking to close the door. Sage is through. And that friendly rivalry continues. Pleasure riding. It is bluebird. It is crispy outside. And we could not be more excited to see what the women are going to put down. His first heat will be Elena Haidt versus Hannah Beeman. And then our second heat will be Robin Van Jyn versus Marion Heritage. There she goes, opening up a new feature. Back up to the top we have Hannah Beeman. She has to win this one to advance to the finals. I love that we've got the riders miked up again. Shit. And we can all relate to a run like that. Congratulations Elena. And congratulations to you as well. Here we have Robin Van Jyn. She's last year's overall tour champion. She can't hold back to be Marion. Oh! Of course, is there is someone who is a consummate competitor and knows how to deal with pressure. It is Marion Erty. Oh, Marion. Adding a frontside three to this run. Robin Van Jyn to the final. We are getting ready for men's semi-finals right now. On one side of the brackets, you've got the newcomer. And on the other side of the brackets, you've got the veterans. I think Jared wants it. He wants it bad. You know, I think this shows if you are dropping against Torstein Horgmo, you know you have to send it from the very top. Oh, that was chaotic. Torstein seriously opened it up in the earlier heats. He is one of those individuals that has that kind of turbo mode. Oh man, getting eaten up by the snakes. Torstein definitely feeling it right now. I'm good. I just need myself in the face pretty good. Wow. Jared Elston will be heading into finals at his first showing at the natural selection. Our second matchup. A very heavy head-to-head. Sage Kotzenberg versus Mikkel Bang. Let's talk about that. That was insane. But he has to go head-to-head against the 2021 Tor Champion and veritable legend, Mikkel Bang. This is a much more cut-and-dry semifinals. I haven't had a tumble like that in years. Sage is going to be the one to advance. We are going to go to a tiebreaker. Elena versus Robin in finals. That is a heavy matchup. All right, Elena Haidt dropping in for the first run of women's finals. Explain to the viewers at home if you're unfamiliar with variable snow conditions. When you're in fresh deep powder, the deep snow acts as your natural speed control. Whereas here, you're hammering on top of these tracks and you have to actively slow yourself down from feature to feature or you're going to overshoot. And let's not forget as well the temperature is changing all the time. So it's not like you can dial in an approach early and that's how it is for the rest of the day. It's constantly changing. That was a lot of savage Tomahawk. Oh, shit. Let's go get them. I think Elena will force a tiebreak. Absolutely. That could just be us wishing for more snowboarding. Woo! Robin Van Jin trying to take home the win. You can just see the exhaustion that she's just trying to navigate down this bottom half, of course. All right, there you have it. A tiebreaker, round three. This is it. Winner takes all. You got Robin Van Jin dropping after you. You got to max this thing out backside 360 and she puts it down clean. One champion crowned. Robin Van Jin would like a say in this outcome. Congratulations. To win this event doesn't even really feel real. Well, congratulations. You deserve another cheers and a million more. That's off to Robin though, who said I'm not going conservative. What a story. What a story. Jared Elston facing Sage Kotzenberg about to battle it out for the number one spot. Sage, cab nine. This is what Travis Rice wanted when he created this event. Jared Elston is on course. Double back flip. Coming for you now. Yep. No, you got it. Good luck, boys. Good luck. Good luck. This ain't a victory lap. This is the one contest he's never won and he wants to win it. And he goes cab 900. Sage Kotzenberg wants to end it now. What that energy is like. The world's best are in this temple of stoke and sending you out. Jared Elston, double Wildcat. Backside 720 and he stomps it. This is incredible. Just shy. We got ourselves a champion. Sage Kotzenberg. This is for Mike McKelvie. Walking with the wind is, it's unreal. All of you at home watching around the world. This one is for you. Thanks for hanging out and watching the best snowboarders on the planet. We will see you in Canada.
