Winter X Games TIGNES Hi there,
Just got back from the first european x games in tignes. Let me take you thrue the week.
a (fun) day in les 2 alpes Hi,
I just got back from les 2 alpes. I first went there for the kumi yama, a fun team contest that we won with my friends Aluan Ricciardi and Arthur Longo, then I stay for a few more days to train.
Training 2 alpes French Team I've just had a week training in les 2 alpes with all the french team, wich was a little special cause we manage with the help of the resort and coca-cola zero to put an airbag in the pipe.
It was the first time in europe and a great chance for us to try some new tricks specially different kind of double corked rotations.
Next step will be to try those tricks on the snow, but it was great to get the feeling of the tricks and get confident with them.
I'm now on my way to Saas Fee for the first world cup, I'll let you know how it goes.
Later!

European X Games press conference Just got back from Paris where ESPN and canal + hold a press confrence/party anouncing the first ever winter x games in europe and they chose France for their venue.
So yesterday night the whole freestyle ski and snowboarding world gathered in Paris along with a few "people" to celebrate this big anouncement.
As a french rider I'm pretty stocked about that, and along with the olympics this is a big goal for me and it adds a bit more pressure to an already pretty rich season!!!
So a lot of training needed for those contests, I'll be back on the snow next week with a little surprise!

Not even have the time to rest a bit at home, allready back on the road! Few days in Paris for the presentation of the French Olympic team and meetings with a bunch of medias and partners. Life in Paris is not made for me so 3 days is enough!
