Best Of X Games Big Air 2015
Bringing up the rear in the six man final were the three Norwegians: Sven Thorgren, Stale Sandbech and Torstein Horgmo in that order. Whilst none put down two runs to score anywhere near the top three, they were at least mixing it up slightly: Thorgren threw a cab flatspin 1440 and Stale was stomping clean frontside flat 1440s in the heats, arguably much more difficult that triple dipping but unfortunately less crowd pleasing to the American Navy flag flying, Jeep toting viewing public.
In conclusion, it did feel like a step up from the other Big Air contests this year, namely the Air & Style, and unlike any of the tours this year at least all the big names were present all together, but if a military sponsored event is the best snowboarding can do these days, we’re still in a sorry state of affairs.
