GNU Team Riders, Mathieu Crepel, Kaitlyn Farrington, and Danny Kass will be riding their Bananas and Pickles at Winter X Games Europe March 10-12, held in Tignes, France.
Unless your in France your best bet to watch the action live is on ESPN 360
Kaitlyn followed up her 2nd place Dew Tour finish with a 3rd at the final Grand Prix event in Park City, Utah Jan 23, 2010. She proved she’s among the best female pipe riders in the world right now and she missed the Olympic team selection by only 2 spots, finishing 6th overall. GNU is proud of her! Keep an eye out for Kaitlyn at the X Games, she’s got a run that could easily put her on the podium there next week!
Congratulations to Kaitlyn Farrington for her 2nd Place!
“Kaitlyn rode with authority, punishing her board with heavy tweaks and a ridiculous array of spins. The Farrington tornado began with some 540s, one with crazy cork, 720s and even a freaking cab 900. The full run and big spins got the crowd roaring, but roars quickly turned to boos when her score was announced. Either way, Kaitlyn left Snowbasin with both a smile on her face and a 2nd place trophy in her backpack.” -Nick Lipton
That’s not a cold sore, that’s what happens when someone calls last run, keep updated with Kaitlyn’s journey towards the Winter Olympic Games on her new blog: kaitlynfarrington.wordpress.com
