Yesterday, February 3rd, saw the the first FIS Slopestyle World Champion has been crowned in Park City.

Alex Schlopy capped his superb week at the Winter X Games in Aspen with another podium finish. He took the gold just ahead of Sammy Carlson in second, and Russ Henshaw in third. Alex stomped a lip 270 to back to back 450 out on rails, switch 180 to 360 out, and then a big combo on the jumps: left 900 dub jap to switch Right 12 mute to Left dub 12 mute.
Sammy’s run consisted of: gap lip to 270 out, switch 360 on the wall to switch 450-270 out on the gap to box and switch right 7 mute to switch dub rodeo 9 to Dub cork 10 mute.
Russ’ run consisted of: 270 on the down rail, 270 on 270 out the up pyramid rail, switch 450 on the gap box, Handplant cork 3, Right 900 jap to switch left dub rodeo 9 japan to left dub cork 10 dub mute.

For the girls, Australia’s Anna Segal walked away with the gold a hige smile on her face as she beat off competition from Kaya Turski and Keri Herman. Kaya may have beaten her to the gold but was unable to land any of the big kickers after a sweet top section. Devin Logan finished in fourth after her surprise finish in Aspen!

Here’s the runs and final rankings:

Anna Segal – big 270 off, into a disaster over the flat-down box, a big switch 540 into a 720, and she hit the large side of the last jump with a big flatspin.
Kaya Turski – 540s and an even bigger 900.
Keri Herman – also stomped 540s but took them stylish and stomped a huge swict 7 on the money booter.
Devin Logan – big 720 into a flatspin 5 off of the last
