So my streams were blowing up “Gigi” this morning, after I had forgotten Travis Rice’s Red Bull Ultra Natural contest was this past weekend. While many video clips quickly emerged after last year’s Red Bull Super Natural, actual footage of this year’s runs appear to have been kept under lock and key(until about 4pm PST when I found a video of Gigi’s winning run below). In my opinion, they should have gone the extra mile like the Berrics Battles, and kept the results secret until the contest actually airs March 30th on NBC at 10:30 PST. Aside from adding more features and madness to the “Scary Cherry” slope at Baldface, this year’s format was a best of 2 runs, with no finals. At any rate, there are a handful of photo galleries and video footage from this years event and I’m going to do my best to log them all below. So here we go…
