Snowboarder with a new trick – Scherrer: “I didn’t think I could do it” – sport

It is a world premiere that Jan Scherrer presents in the Saas-Fee glacier pipeline. After a long period of preparation, the Toggenburg resident has already tried his fourth trick, “Switch Alley-Oop Double Rodeo 1080 Indy to Nose.” The 26-year-old is very happy: “It’s a huge feeling. I myself am amazed that I did it on the second day. “

Approach with the landing pad

Scherrer had had the trick on his head for 5 years. But it was always more of a dream trick. “I had a feeling that this was the best thing to do. But I didn’t think I could do it with my skills. ”In May, he tackled the challenge in Crans-Montana with the support of a landing pad.

It also worked in the pipeline earlier than expected. Enthusiasm isn’t just great at Scherrer. Even retiree Iouri Podladtchikov praises: “It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Making something technically difficult look so fun is just fantastic. “
