Vestlandsmeisterskap Big Air

Saturday we held Vestlandsmeisterskap in big air, which roughly translates into the Western Norway Championship in big air. The spectators were enjoying spectacular jumps over bleating wild sheep from 50 sun beds in Myrkdalen. – Voss is the sheep head destination, thus when we chose an element for the athletes to jump over, sheep ended up as a natural choice for us, says Linda Risanger, who was in charge of the competition.

In the men elite category Sig Tveit was leading after the qualification, with Stian Eriksen and Klaus Finne close behind. However, Klaus Finne sealed his win when he skied backwards into the jump, then finishing off with a screw and a double flip! Sig Tveit and Stian Eriksen came second and third. In the women elite category , the one and only Siri Finne competed and impressed the guys with her tricks. 

The juniors showed some great talent by flying high in the air at such ease. Vegard Vinje won the competition, with Borgar Bystøl, Bendik Mossefinn Grande and Marius Grevle Vik in second, third and fourth place.
