The Men's Snowboard SuperPipe Final at the first ever Winter X Games Europe could have been the best pipe contest of the year. The event attracted some of the best snowboarders on the planet to Tignes, France and entertained the huge crowds who gathered for three days of incredible action. The highlight of the entire Euro X Games was the Men's Snowboard Superpipe Final where The Sports Syndicate's Louie Vito won a Bronze medal. Although he only took Bronze he opened his run with three double corks, back-to-back-to-back. Vito made history by being the first person to ever open a run with three back-to-back-to-back tricks like this. The crowd went wild but the judges didn't seem to be as impressed and only gave him the bronze. Vito said, "I was stoked. I don't think three in a row has ever been done before and to do it in a contest was great! In the end you're trying to please four people and if the run you like doesn't please them there's nothing you can do. I was really glad I landed that run and that's about all you can say." Next weekend Louie will be at Stratton Mountain in Vermont for the U.S. Open Superpipe contest.
