Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EVENT RECAP - YETI Alaska Haines Pro | FWT26
Q: How did communications on-site influence coverage for the event?
There was effective on-site coordination, including live comments and banter between riders and commentators, with some logistical details like Wi-Fi access at the ridge and the ability to watch runs from different locations.
EVENT RECAP - YETI Alaska Haines Pro | FWT26
Q: What was the reasoning behind the Pro Freeriders Board changing the bib draw?
The Pro Freeriders Board pushed for a ranking-based preference in the bib draw, allowing the top three in each category to choose their drop order, which rewarded consistency and strategic thinking.
Exclusive Interview | FWT Commissioner Lolo Besse
Q: How did you decide to replace Kutai so quickly after canceling Georgia Pro?
The decision came after an unsafe situation was confirmed and a rider meeting established that it was not feasible to restage safely; Florle suggested a suitable venue in Kutai with existing competition history, and the team moved quickly to relocate, rebook flights, and verify fair-water venue requirements within a short weather window, ensuring a fair competition for the top riders while maintaining safety.
PREVIEW to the First FWT World Championship
Q: What are your thoughts on the pressure of competition versus filming?
The strategy is to do something within your wheelhouse to ski really well and proficiently, unlike film skiing where it's easier to experiment.
FWT 2026 Athletes Rookies & Wildcards
Q: Loch, how does it feel to be part of the Freeride World Tour?
It feels incredible. Honestly, kind of surreal. This has been something I've been striving towards for a very long time.
