As the Winter Dew Tour in Breck came to a close, the freeski slopestyle final athletes concluded it with some balls out riding. Norway's Andreas Hatveit ended up as the top dog, barely edging out Tom Wallisch with his run filled with technical rail riding, a switch right 1080, a switch left 1260, and a double cork 1080. While every other athlete opted to choose either the Toyota box feature or the Breckenridge wall ride, Andreas decided he needed to hit both by flipping from the take off to the hip landing. That, my friends, is how you win competitions. In a ridiculously close second place was Tom Wallisch with a monster of a run ( a pretzel on the first rail, rodeo 900, a switch right 1080, and a misty 450 off the flat-down) however, Wallisch fell on a giant switch double on his first run. Last but certainly not least, in the number three spot, was Sammy Carlson. Also ending up with a final score in the 90's, Carlson threw down with a switch right 1080, switch misty 900 poke, double cork 1080 poke, and a rodeo 450 into the flat down box.

Stale Sandbech Lands Triple Under-Flip 1260

The 18-year-old stomped it off a massive kicker in Europe.

While many of us were sulking because the season is practically over, Norwegian shredder, Stale Sandbech was busy stomping a brand new trick. A video of the 18-year-old hitting a massive kicker in Europe just surfaced, and in it, Sandbech stomps a triple underflip 1260. Yeah, we didn't really think that was possible either, but this video from Stale's sponsors proves it.

After seeing the video, we had to know what was going through Sandbech's mind when he stomped the new trick...
