The third World Cup Big Air of the 24/25 season went down in Klagenfurt’s Wörthersee stadium with Luca Harrington taking his first World Cup win.

Held on the same scaffolding jump that was used in Chur – this time inside a 32,000 capacity soccer stadium – the world’s best threw down in front of the Austrian crowd. 

Run One:

Off the back of an impressive performance in Beijing, young Kiwi Luca Harrington unleashed the insane switch right triple cork 1620 esco. The way he is grabbing and able to complete this rotation is incredible – he is holding the grab for longer than Pablo’s prison sentence and just like the cartel leader’s workforce, the judges were not going to argue and awarded Luca a 94.80.

Run Two:

Luca greased the Alex Hall inspired right double cork 1080 bringback to 900 japan flawlessly. Luca grabs throughout the trick, including the part where he is changing his momentum, and the judges rewarded this with a 87.60 giving Luca a strong lead.

Run Three:

With true kiwi class, Luca gave us a double backflip as his victory lap, pleasing the crowd and the judges alike, getting honored with a 42.00 – the highest score possible. Another crazy big air final for the books with all of the top five performing near perfect tricks – the judges did well to pick the riders apart.
