Mikkel wins NZ Open !



Even though the weather deteriorated throughout the day, the riders kept stepping up and it was Bang’s final run that earned him the title spot. “I didn’t have any expectations when I set out this morning, the weather wasn’t great but the snow was good and soft and it turned into a really good day!” he said.

His winning run featured a switch frontslide boardslide, Cab 540 nose tap, cab 720 mute, switch backside 900 mute, 270 on the rail, finishing with an alley-opp wallride.
