Griffin Post (USA), Wild Card for the Ski competition in Sochi
“The FWT 09 serves up the most natural ski competition in the world: a start gate and a finish gate; the only boundaries are the riders’ imaginations. While some riders may be better known than others, don’t be fooled – every single competitor on the start list could win this thing, the depth of talent is unbelievable. The winning riders will be able to match their abilities and imagination nearly perfectly to some of the most difficult faces in the world, blurring the line between what¹s possible and what’s simply outside of the proverbial box.”
