Russ Henshaw Wins London Freeze Big Air

Double Cork 1260 wins it for Henshaw

With 10,000 intrepid onlookers braving rainy weather and high winds, Russ Henshaw dominated the 2nd annual London Freeze Big Air competition, throwing a double cork 1260 that earned an impressive 99 out of 100 points. Henshaw was overjoyed with his triumph. “At first I didn’t want to start,” explains the poster child of the Marker Völkl Freeski-Team after the price giving. “At some point there was so little snow left on the ramp that it looked like a waterramp. But after a few hits the jumps even felt quite comfortable even with the plastic snow in-run. It is amazing to win with such a score under such riding conditions!” The London Freeze 2009 just made history as a remarkable event and Russ Henshaw‘s winning jump as a milestone in freeski progression.
