Saturday was a big day for the US Open. Not only did they run the entire pipe contest - qualifying, semi-finals, and finals for both men and women, but the evening hours also saw the big air go down at the bottom of Golden Peak in Vail, CO.
As you've most likely already heard, TJ took the main event, beating out Charles Gagnier in the finals with, wait for it, a switch 1440. I'll reserve judgement on that whole situation for now until everyone has a chance to see the comp. Speaking of which...
We'll have video up of all Big Air finals as well as Slopestyle finals in the coming week so get ready to see it all unfold. Until then we'll be adding photos to this article so keep checking back.

Last night at Winter X Games 10 Ski Big Air, TJ landed a double corked 1620. Yes that is correct, 1620. He just ruined the sport by progressing it way too fast. Because of an awesome couple of jumps by Bobby Brown, TJ had to settle for the silver but I am not sure he is that bent about it. WOW! WATCH TJ SCHILLER'S 1620 X GAMES VIDEO Results: 1) Bobby Brown - 100 2) TJ Schiller - 95 3) Elias Ambuhl - 90 4) Russ Henshaw - 89 5) Jossi Wells - 89
