For'ams, Daniel Ek, Greg Bretz, Ian Thorley, and Trevor Jacob spent some time in Breckenridge, Colorado for the first stop of the Winter Dew Tour. With temps dipping well below the -15 degree mark, the riders still managed to bring some heat to the contest. Daniel and Greg both finished 8th in their respective disciplines. Daniel Ek threw a backside 7, frontside 10, and attempted his first ever backside double-cork 1080 on this first run in finals. He nearly put the double-cork down, but a small hand-drag and revert kept his score outside of the podium.
Greg Bretz made it to pipe finals, and took one hell of a spill in his first run, decking on a 1080 and firing himself to the bottom of the pipe where he split his helmet open. After shaking off the whoozies, Greg dropped in for his second run and stuck a great line from top to bottom. Unfortunately, some of the other heavy hitters bumped him into 8th position as well.
