Last night saw the men’s Superpipe Elimination and the list of riders was immense! There were some clear favourites but the number one favourite produced one hell of a run to keep himself at the top of the game. Who am I talking about? Kevin Rolland of course! On his last run he landed a score of 91.66 with a double McTwist mute, alley-oop flat 3, switch cork 10, right 7 and finishing with a double cork 12 mute. Easily placing him in first for the final.
In a close second was Simon Dumont with 88 dead. He stomped a double cork 12 mute, right cork 9 tail, double McTwist tail, alley-oop 9 mute to a switch cork 9. And finishing in third was Justin Dorey with an 86.00. Extremely close top 3 but it all points to Kevin Rolland taking the gold again!

I’ll make sure you get the best of the action from the finals when I get my hands on it! A point must be made about little Canadian ripper Torin Yater-Wallace. After his amazing finish in the Winter X Games in the States he looks like he’ll make another impression in the finals. I don’t think he’ll be on the podium this year but he’ll do well. Unless he’s added some switch tricks to his repertoire that is…
