The Sports Syndicate’s Chas Guldemond posted the highest score ever in snowboard slopestyle at Winter X Games with a 99.33 at Winter X Games Europe in Tignes, France. After eliminations were cancelled due to weather, the final was a “super final” in which all 23 riders got 2 chances to put down their best run for Winter X Games Gold. Chas had this to say about the revised format, "I think it worked out really well, and I'm proud of the riders for making that decision, we only had two runs, but at least everybody didn't get knocked out yesterday because the weather was bad. It gave everybody the chance to put down their best run." In typical fashion, Chas flawlessly executed a run that included backside 270 on the down rail to double back rodeo to cab 270 to back lip fakie to a cab double cork 12 and back double 10 over the last two kickers. After winning Chas had this to say, "Honestly, I don't know what to say, I didn't think it was possible to beat a 98. I'm so stoked."
