After winning the first day of competition here in Graz yesterday, Fred Johansson (Swe) had to deal with a fired up Mat Rebeaud (Switz) today in the second day of competition here in Graz. Johansson stunned everyone by landing a 1-hand 360 in Saturday’s final and the field was set for a huge duel on Sunday. Out the gate, Rebeaud beat him fair and square in the qualification round, both riders putting on amazing displays of riding. But somehow, luck was on Johansson’s side though and the epic showdown everyone was expecting for the final never materialised. Rebeaud decided to forfeit a possible shot at winning and intentionally produced a run consisting of only backflip combinations for the crowd, which did not sit well with the judges. Second in the final was Oystein Kjorstad (Nor), 3rd was Libor Podmol (Cze), who also won the Highest Air contest ahead of Alastair Sayer (Botswana). Rebeaud placed 4th in the final, Derek Burlew (US) got 5th and Massimo Bianconcini (Ita) was sixth. The whip contest was won by Rebeaud ahead of Burlew. The series moves to the Max Schmelling Halle in Berlin next weekend for the next two rounds of the Night of the Jumps. For more information, visit www.ifmxf.com.
