Zitat: Dave Watson made a cameo appearance at the slopestyle after returning from France. You may have heard the rumours about what went down but here are the real goods. Four km from the summit of the Col De Galibier, the penultimate climb of the Alpe D'Huez stage of the Tour de France, Dave Watson launched his Kona over a group of perhaps 15 riders. Dave was careful to ensure the riders wouldn't see him ahead of them so his timing had to be bang on. There were helicopters and police everywhere and the tension of the scene lead Dave to hesitate slightly and then decide to give 'er all the same. His hesitation caused him to come up a little short and he was bucked. Dave landed hard and left the scene in an ambulance but his injuries were not serious - he even considered competing in the slopestyle. There were stories of jail time and immigration problems but Dave said the cops were pretty cool once they found out what was going on - who is crazier than the French after all? If you are wondering what the whole thing looked like you'll have to wait for Derek Westerlund's follow up to NWD 3 - they have the footage.
