The all new jib garden took it’s first official beating of the weekend when the women of Snowboard Slopestyle took on the rail section first thing on Saturday morning.
The top rider of the morning was none other than Jamie Anderson. Anderson had mentioned earlier in the week that she was a bit of a traditionalist with regard to Slopestyle formats. However, after absolutely slaughtering the rails section, she was excited to perform so well under the new circumstances.
“I was a little hesitant at first, definitely intimidated riding a whole rail line – I usually shine on the jumps. So yeah, I was a little afraid but it is good to get out of our comfort zone and change it up,” said Anderson after her final onslaught on the rails where she bettered her already high score. “I’m stoked that Dew Tour is open to do things a little different. It keeps it fresh.”
Anderson’s last run earned her a score of 91.33 by linking together a cab tail switch-up to back tail, frontside 270 on the down rail, 50-50 off the pole jam to slide across the Toyota cage with a stalefish off, and a tail side to fakie on the flat to down kink rail.
Despite being on top of the leaderboard at the end of the rails section, Anderson assured that she would be taking on the jump section Sunday to the best of her ability.
