STEPH MAGIROS

The Otsego Rev Tour was my first time traveling to Michigan. We flew into Detroit and then drove 4 hours to the Otsego Resort Club. On the way we passed 8 Mile Rd which we all were weirdly excited about.

We had 3 days of training before comp day which was plenty of time to get used to the pipe and figure out a run. The pipe was ment to be 22ft but it was only an 18ft, The shape was really good but it was just small and i was only able to get 4 decent hits in.

I Qualified 2nd with a run Back 5, Front 5, Air to fakie, Switch back 5 which put me through to finals where i ended up 4th just missing out on the podium. Its my first top 5 result for the season so i am stoked!

Im back in Colorado in training mode to prepare for a big month of competitions coming up in a couple of weeks.

Here’s a few shots i took on the road from Michigan.

Northstar only had 7% of the snow terrain open which isnt alot at all but what counts is that there was a perfect 22 Foot halfpipe and thats all that mattered for me.

Northstars pipe was possibly one of the steepest pipes i have ever riden so it took a little getting used to but once i got the feel for it it was amazing.

I landed my first run which consisted of air, back 5, front 5, air to fakie, switch back 3. i didnt score very high for that run so i just put everything into my second run to up my score and hopefully make it into finals. My second run i did the same run with more hight but upgraded my switch back 3 into my new trick i have been learning which is switch back 5, unfortunatly i put my bum down on the switch back 5 and was unable to qualify for finals finishing in 9th place.

Im back in Colorado now and its just started to snow which is great because i am yet to have a good pow day so hopefully it keeps snowing so i can have some fun in the pow at vail.
