Catch Some Air January 31, 2010

After Women’s Superpipe last night, there was the Big Air contest. Only one American made it to the finals, but the foreigners definitely held it down for their respective countries.
Big Air works like this: Riders hit one big jump and are scored out of 50 on a single trick. They can hit the jump as many times as possible in 20 minutes, and their two best scores count.


The obvious highlight of last night was Halldor Helgason from Iceland. He got a perfect score of 50 on his very first 2 runs, with a total score of 100 before the event was even half over.


I FINALLY found some video! Check it out:
