AFP World Championships Big Air

Eight men of the 27 would advance from the rain-soaked eliminations to finals, and when it was all said and done yesterday's slopestyle winner Gus Kenworthy (who has been on an absolute tear over the past month) found himself on top of the podium once again. Gus landed a double cork 1620 tail grab on his second run after crashing on his first attempt and is now the owner of a new Chevrolet Sonic.


In second place was Vincent Gagnier, who stomped double bio octograbs on both his finals runs, blowing the crowd away. Russ Henshaw, who missed the podium yesterday by a miniscule margin found himself in third place tonight with a super lofty double cork 1080 mute to japan grab taking it deep down the landing.


And just missing the podium in fourth was Bobby Brown, who laid down super stylish double cork 1260's while James Woods ended up in fifth with a switch double cork 1080 octograb.

On the ladies' side of things, Emma Dahlstorm picked up the victory with a super crisp, stylish 360, while Eveline Bhend placed second with a flatspin 540 that she didn't land cleanly enough to take home the win.


Rose Battersby found herself in third after throwing down a nice 720, but also had some issues on the landing. As previously mentioned, many of the other ladies had issues clearing the massive booter and pulled out due to injuries sustained during yesterday's slopestyle finals.
