Slope Powerhouses Torstein Horgmo and Jamie Anderson Surpass Conditions To Win Finals
(allisports.com) Mother nature once again dusted the slopestyle course with a layer of powder, but the top riders knew how to overcome the conditions and throw bangers during the Nike 6.0 Open snowboard slopestyle finals. Torstein Horgmo established his dominance after posting a 96.50 on his first run, and the score held on until the end.It was hard to beat his frontside nose bluntslide to fakie on to switch backside tailslide to switch on to start things off on the course. He kept it going with a switch frontside double cork 10 on the first jump to a switch backside 9 on the second.He was smooth and solid the entire run and finished with a backside 270 on the box and a backside 7 on the second-to-last jump. After a frontside double cork 10 on the last jump, he was the man to beat.For a moment, it seemed like Breckenridge local Eric Willet would take the event title after throwing the run of his life with back-to-back double corks and a backside rodeo 5. But the magic fell apart when he attempted a switch back 10 double cork on the last hit and slid out the landing.“That’s the run I’ve been wanting to do this entire time,” he said. But without the clean landing, it put him in seventh place.
