MNSS SNOWBOARDER CHAS GULDEMOND SPINS TO WIN AT THE SNOWBASIN DEW TOUR SLOPESTYLE


For The Dew Tour's Stop #2 in Snowbasin, Chas dropped in, hit the A-frame with a nosepress 180 to switch nosepress, spins a cab 270 frontboard down the double kink. Spun a lot more off the first two jumps before throwing a 1260 off the third and then spins another lofty 360 off the up rail. That was a lot of spins in a 40 second winning run. Without a doubt Chas killed it in the final. His 1440 attempt was solid, just a bit washed out, and his 5050 stiffy salute was hilarious and apparently heartfelt, “That was to all my fans in America and across the world.” While Chas obviously enjoyed his win, he’s aware of what it took to get there. This Final was a wake-up call. Everyone has the 900, and 1080s only score big when back-to-back or doublecorked. This was a rough Final, almost everyone fell second run as slopestyle riders adapt to the new degree of insanity.
