They just announced the new uniforms for the U.S.A. Olympic snowboard team. I'm still not really sure what I think of them.
Yes, it is a jacket that looks like a plaid flannel and pants that look like jeans (with rips and all).
X Games Results
As the X Games come to an end, here are the results from all the snowboarding competitions:
Mens Superpipe
1st: Shaun White - 95.33
2nd: Iouri Podladtchikov - 93.66
3rd: Kazuhrio Kokubo - 91.00
*Everyone was pretty shocked that Shaun White did so well in this event. If you didn't watch it, you wouldn't understand why, but that's what I am here for. During practice he fell SUPER hard. I have a feeling what he did was the same thing that sent Kevin Pearce to the hospital and out of the Olympics. Shaun White is so lucky. You need to watch the video below to understand.*
Womens Superpipe
1st: Gretchen Bleiler - 96.66
2nd: Kelly Clark - 96.00
3rd: Hannah Teter - 70.00
*I personally think that Kelly Clark should have won. She has a much smoother style and goes higher than Gretchen. I would rather see someone spin a nice clean 360, than someone failing around to spin 900. Good thing I'm not a judge. Haha*
Big Air
1st: Halldor Helgason - 100
2nd: Torstein Horgmo - 94
3rd: Mikkel Bang - 83
*The way this contest works is there is a 15 minute jam session and your top 2 highest scores make up your final score.*
*Tyler Flanagan is a up-and-coming snowboarder from Mammoth Lakes WHO IS ONLY 16 YEARS OLD. He ended up coming in 5th place.*
Womens Slopestyle
1st: Jenny Jones - 92.66
2nd: Jamie Anderson - 89.33
3rd: Janna Meyen-Weatherby - 75.66
Mens Slopestyle
1st: Eero Ettala - 93.33
2nd: Eric Willett - 86.33
3rd: Chas Guldemond - 84.33
