James reports from the Verbier Ride 08, which proved to be an awesome event. This year the competition was a qualifier for the 'Orage European Open for Swatch', and with a gathering of International male and female athletes at the La Chaux Snowpark, this upped the stakes, and encouraged a lively and exciting competition. The level was extremely high, and so were the tricks!
