Semi finals for Steven Pierson in Teahupoo trials 
  Von Zipper / Air Tahiti Nui Teahupoo Trials
  August 2010
  Teahupoo, Tahiti
Little deception for our rider Steven as he has been stopped one step away from qualifying to the main event in Teahupoo. In his 100% Tahitian heat (just as the other semifinal, the locals were on fire today), he got defeated by the young freak from Huahine Tamaroa Mc Comb (12.10/9.07). However he can be proud of himself after having eliminated famous surfers such as Anthony Walsh in quarter finals. Taumata Puhetini won the event after an epic final (18.17/17.27), and regarding to the scores he reached in his 5 heats (15.50/17.33/16.67/16.67/18.17) he will be a big threat for the top 44 guys. Main event starts Monday August 23th and solid conditions are expected on the heaviest wave on the planet.

  Contest
  July 2010
  Holland
Enforced to rest since his bad crash in April, Remi jumped back on his bike in July and after just a few days of practice he flew to Holland for a “Master of dirt” show at the Swartecross MX festival. He felt confident enough out there to head to Spain for his first shot at a Xfighters contest. He performed great but the judges criteria are different from what he has been used to so he unfortunately couldn’t make it to the quarters, but – that’s the most important part- had great sensations riding his bike only one week back on the bike! We wish him good luck for the rest of the year to come back even stronger for 2011 and resady to conquer the world title again!!
