stupid venue..so much terrain to perfom and the athletes miss half of it…
because of the poor management of the fwt team
athletes that keep on pushing with the poles…what a shame
Ross was definitely underscored
New announcers please
First skiier at ~ 27:30
Mathys.For énorme run incroyable, un poil de control en plus tu étais 1er.
We all want a video with a 3rd audio track that has no announcers. I hate announcers. they ruin the whole vibe with their feelings and opinions.
C’est pas les Ménuires plutôt ? 😅
Rooooooooo les Frenchies, le feu! Oscar, Mathys, Astrid, Noémie, Marion, et les trois mousquetaires du snow! Big up!!
wow some fresh snow for once……
wahhhhh, Mathys!!!!! Perfect mon gars.
mathys premier cava pas ou quoi la @WinterActivity
BIEN JOUER MATHYS !
Why does the drone footage look so weird? I noticed a similar weirdness in the x games
Ross Tester 63?? Again inconsistent judging! 😡
The judges were giving scores out in the 80s that had equally bad control issues as Ross with way less creativity in their runs!
Announcers great job!
Love FWT!
Ben Richard’s was creamy, don’t see that style and control get enough respect!
Not a fan of the temu xibit song on replays 😂😂😂. Spend a few bucks and get some copyrights. This would hit way harder with some sponsored music.

Announcers catching and correcting preferred pronouns 🫶🫶 Love to hear it 😊

They should set the DIN higher 😅

Awesome!! I do enjoy the commentators but I wish they felt comfortable to be a bit more critical instead of just saying everything was perfect and off the nose when it obviously wasn't haha
Always talking up Cody, as like the second coming, but when is this dude going to deliver?
