The final of the event was crazy. You’ve got an gold medallist from the Olympics, the winner from the New Zealand Open slopestyle, two TTR World Champions, six gold medallists from the Winter X-Games, and more of Australia’s best. That’s like watching a Royal Rumble from WWF wrestling. You couldn’t make up a better field.

Now since you couldn’t be there because airline tickets cost too damn much, then go ahead and watch the highlights in the video below.
