MNSS SNOWBOARDERS HORGMO, MCMORRIS AND GULDEMOND MEDAL AT WINTER X GAMES 15


The Sports Syndicate’s Torstein Horgmo, Mark McMorris and Chas Guldemond all brought home medals from the Winter X Games 15. In Snowboard Big Air, Torstein Horgmo landed the first-ever triple cork in competition on his final run. This was the trick the judges and fans were waiting for and Torstein walked home with the Gold Medal in the event. Chas Guldemond took home a Bronze Medal in the first ever Best Method contest. Newest MNSS Snowboarder, Mark McMorris also took the Silver Medal in Snowboard Slopestyle in his first Winter X Games appearance. Nabbing the silver Mark had this to say, "I'm freaking out. I'm just trying to wake up. I'm not sure if it's real yet because I never expected a year ago to be in the X Games.” Be on the lookout for Torstein, Mark and Chas on final Winter Dew Tour Stop at Snowbasin, Utah February 10-13, 2011 and at the Arctic Challenge in Norway February 14-19, 2011.
