Although gutted that avoriaz lost out to Tignes in the bid for the first ever Euopean X Games, stoked to have it happening so close. Tammy was there all week and the rest of our staff got over for a day (which unfortunately meant I had to stay home and man the fort, but I'm not bitter - much) and brought back great tales of snowboard achievments.
Gotta big up Jenny Jones, who made it an XGames hatrick, awsome feat by any standards, but certainly one that set some heights for uk riders. Check her run at
The slope style course boasted 7 kickers in a row making sure riders had to dig deep into their bag of tricks, and unsettling even some of the favorites. Quik, Lib legend Travis Rice only managing 7th in the mens Slopestyle.
Mathieu Creppel came in with a silver in the superpipe whilst Gnu tream mate Kaitlyn Farrington took the gold in the ladies in her Xgames debut. You can watch her run here;
