Greetings,
First i want to say congrats to Torin Yater-Wallace for scoring 2nd against the best in the world, on the highest stage in the world. One day we will have the Olympics but for now X is the pinnacle. Props also, go out to the entire AVSC Freestyle coaching staff.
I am so excited to have this forum. What a privilege it is to voice my opinion on the future of our sport and to give you a first hand account on the from lines of the action. I want to shout out Buttermilk for hosting the X mayhem! There were kids everywhere jacked on Extreme sour War heads. Much respect go's out to the Global force for good, our great Navy for what they do to protect our country.
As you may know if you frequent Buttermilk Mountain, the airport sits just west of the mountain. So on occasion when wind patterns call for it, planes fly say 100 ft above the mountain base. Well to make a long story short, a fighter jet decided to buzz the venue on sat at 4.30. I was walking in the direction of the airport and saw it coming but Aidan Sheehan didn't and almost had a heart attack. I laughed so hard i choked on my free candy grub. Congrats to the Aidan, the Technica / Blizzard, Smith Optics athlete for the podium finish, he is used to pulling down bigger checks but hey money is money.
So Here is Big Poppa In action! Enjoy this pipe run it is a thing of beauty!
