Mark McMorris wins Snowboard Slopestyle gold | X Games Aspen 2019

Darcy just a 1080 and this is that moment that makes the X-Games the X-Games. Mark McMorris. We call him the closer. He's allergic to pressure. This is his last chance to get on the podium and win this thing outright. Cat 2 pullback so much better than run 2. Here's this hard way back to one of the most technical 270s you could do. No issue for the kid! 270 in, 270 out. Already the best we've seen of him. Definitely better than runs 1 and 2 switch. Backside 1260 stomp. So here's this backside 1440. Oh no, he's going frontside 1440 and audible! Saw the blitz! Saw the blitz, sees the open target, going backside 16. Yes he is! Oh! Good work! Steps up to the line, sees the blitz, hooks the open receiver. Touchdown for Saskatchewan! Look who got his swagger back! Mark McMorris on the final run of the contest! Oh my goodness! Now we jokingly have always given him name the closer. Why? When you need those three outs, there's one guy you call upon from the bullpen. No one is better under pressure than Mark McMorris. How do you do that on your third and final run? Haven't been snowboarding barely at all this year. Come to the X Games, have a great showing in big air. Struggle a little bit in the slope style final. And then say, no, you know what, I'm going to go frontside triple on the second jump. Haven't done that today yet in my finals run. And then backside 1620 on this third and final jump. That was just absolutely silly. That was just rude. Ritikongis has a 94 overall in first place. A 96! Mark McMorris wins slope style on the final run of the contest. It's a walk-off, folks. It's a walk-off.
