Freeride World Ranking 2010 started...

As the first event of the 2010 Freeride World Ranking (FWR) happened, you will soon be able to see the new ranking online. But first the FWT organizers have to recalculate the number of points allocated to each tour stop. This new point system will be officially communicated by the 30th of April on this website.
