Yuki Kadono Bronze Medal Big Air Winter X Games 2015
Yuki Kadono is only eighteen years old and after really impressing us at the Olympics last year and the Air & Style over the last few months he was back in full force last night: a back triple 1620 and a switch back triple 1620 put eight points between him and fourth place Sven Thorgren.
The landing of the latter was pretty sketchy, but was still marked down by a bizarre amount, only 23 points given. It does beg that old ‘if, but, maybe’ debate – if he’d ridden away clean would that have been enough to put a ‘jolly foreigner’ in first place at the X Games for the first time in what feels like years? But at the end of the day bronze is bronze. We’re excited to see what he’s got up his sleeve next – Yuki Kan Do No harm in our eyes.
