Monster Energy Slopestyle Basel, Switzerland

Yo all,

Had an amazing trip this weekend just gone. Went out to Basel, Switzerland for the Monster Energy Slopestyle event.
The trip never started that well, someone jumped in front of the train in Liss so that stopped all trains. Luckily they organized taxi's so eventually got to the airport.
Arrived in Basel met Sam and Raphael who shuttled us around which was sweet. They took Sharky B (Daryl Brown) and myself to check out the course which looked pretty sick, then to the hotel to check in then Down to the river for a swim. Was so fun especially since it was crazy hot.
That night Sam Pilgrim and Chopper arrived they had to crash in our room for the night.
Next day and after a good breakfast we all headed down the river for a swim. got hold of Sam the guy who shuttled us around and ask where a skate park was. Eventually got the post code and went for a skate and little film session, was there for a couple of hours then after sweating gallons we went back down the river for a cool down, quick stop at the hotel to grab Chops Blow up mattress and floated on that down the river.
Went out that night where there was a street party going on was good fun until I bought 2 drinks that cost about £20 and that was the last drink I bought. had a good apart from having to walk back in the rain.
Saturday and Sharky and I got up early and headed to the course to watch the Quali's and have some practice. The course was fun to ride and felt pretty good, Did my first Tail Whip drop which I was stoked about.
That Night was the riders party but first Sam P, Sam R, Chops and I went to a local indoor skatepark where I ended up filming again but was ok. Went out to The riders party ended up staying out for quite a while, was amazing dancing like a lunatic with Syzmon Godziek and the other Polish guys.
Sunday and day of the comp, slept through my alarm but managed to wake up in time for Breakfast, Then organized a lift with Sam P to the course where we only had 30 min to practice which sucked but luckily they gave us an extra hour.
The comp started at 1 and we were put in heats. I was in the last heat which kinda sucked. Everyone rode really well. My first run was good and maybe a little safe. My second run and I whiped the first drop which I never tried before, landed ok but could not get enough speed to super flip the first so just got a Tuck no hander, the rest of the run went well with a three whip to end.
Sam P ended up winning, Szymon G in 2nd and Sam Rens got third and he also won best trick with a flip whip over the first. Chilled a bit after the comp, said our goodbyes and went back to hotel packed our things and headed to the airport. Was so quick at check in no queue's and flew home.
Trip Done Cheers to everyone that helped and looked after me out there.
