Video from Jon-Olsson’s video blog. Check it out! UPDATE: Tom Wallisch took 2nd and Elias Ambuhl took 3rd. Australian Russ Henshaw continues his spectacular fall season big air run with a win at the inaugural Barcelona Snow Show Big Air. A truly international field which included riders from USA, Canada, Sweden, Norway, Japan, Austria, Switzerland, England, and of course, Spain, the night was chock full of doubles. In the end, the field of 25 was cut down to 10 riders in the finals, which was further hewn down to four for a Super-Final. In 4th place, TJ Schiller stomped a clean double cork 1260. Swiss rider Elias Embuhl found the 3rd place spot with a double cork 1080 double mute. Tom Wallisch took 2nd place with a switch double 1080 tail variation. But in the end it was Russ Henhaw whose double cork 1080 mute to japan and switch double 1080 was too much to compete with.

hey shay, im not sure its possible to do a “switch double 10080 tail variation”
I was there
it was just great !! I’m still wondering when they’re comming back… !!
Tom Wallish is 3rd and Elias is second. Look at the checks on the picture ! Or it’s the first comp that gives more money to the 3rd.
Scoring was changed after the podium, you had to do 2 different tricks, Elias was scored twice on the same trick. There was no second podium shot.
