X Games Aspen 2016 – Mark McMorris Wins Men's Slopestyle
Another gold for McLovin
Strangely, Eric didn’t take up competitive snowboarding until 2006. When you consider most pros have been competing since they could write their names on the entry forms, it’s refreshing to see a guy come through that hasn’t been educated at a snowboard school.
The top results soon followed, including victory on the Dew Tour and bronze at X Games Europe (both in 2012). In 2013 he edged out the McMorris’, Yadonos and Toots’ of the world to take the top spot at the Air & Style in Innsbruck. He crashed out hard in early 2014 which denied him a place at the Sochi Olympics, but he’s back with a vengeance in 2015 and looking to bag some more medals.
When he’s not throwing down at comps he tends to find ways to piss about with Sage Kotsenburg, from throwing GoPros around to ticking off NBDs…
