The Freeride World Tour wrapped up in Verbier the other day, with some ballistic lines being put down by Xavier De Le Rue and Anne-Flore Marxer. Watch the runs here…

The world’s best freeride athletes gathered at the legendary face of Bec des Rosses in Verbier, Switzerland for the finals of the Freeride World Tour 2011. Men and women attacked the steep 600-meter face in a technical battle that challenged the complete skills of every rider. Xavier De Le Rue and Anne-Flore Marxer put down the sickest lines of the day, and as it was the final event of the Freeride World Tour, Mitch Tölderer and Anne-Flore Marxer were crowned as the 2011 Freeride World Champion title after the final competition of the six-event tour.

Shit your pants as Xavier points it to take first place at the Xtreme Verbier.

Though it starts more reserved as he negotiates the exposed upper portion of his gnarly line down the Bes des Rosses, once he points if off the 10m cliff the De Le Rue afterburners are firmly on. He posted the fastest run of the day, took an original line and sent it off a huge cliff that’s not been done in the 15-year history of the contest. Mental.
