At the Oakley & Shaun White Air & Style, a 6Star TTR Big Air event in Beijing this weekend, Norwegian riders stole the show with Ulrik Badertscher landing on top with his first 6Star win, in front of Torstein Horgmo and Stale Sandbech. Just missing the podium was Swedish rider Nills Arvidsson, landing himself in fourth place.

Badertscher beat out fellow Norwegian rider Gjermund Braaten in the semifinals, and also beat out event favorite Sebastian Toutant in head-to-head matchups. He picked up Red Bull Best Trick honors on his third semifinal run with a score of 97.00 for what was first called a double “winger” flip 1260, but appeared to be a double backside rodeo 1260, that he was rumored to have last season, but never pulled off. There is now debate however, whether it is a true backside double rodeo 12 or an off-axis double 1260. At any rate, the trick has never been seen before, and Baderstcher has it down, as he landed it again in the Super Final for a score of 91.67.
