Mens slopestyle qualys was packed full of talent as the young gun Halldor Hellgason won the qualy’s and took TWSnowboardings rookie of the year award last night at SIA. PortersTahoe.com Team rider Chas Guldemond qualified on his last run with some uncharacteristic falls in his 1st two runs. A little drama builds a nice story right? Chas was happy to get in and relieve his stress level. The big news of the night was Shaun Whites total domination of the Mens Halfpipe finals. Shaun went bigger than everyone else with the most difficult run. A 23ft first hit Method into a series of double corks that was at a level no one else could touch. Not to mention he almost knocked himself out in practice with his double McTwist to face smack on the deck! Gotta love the Extreme Games. Photos by Zak Shelhamer and Eric Asistin
