MNSS SNOWBOARDER MARK MCMORRIS EARNS SILVER MEDAL IN SLOPESTYLE AT THE EUROPEAN X GAMES IN TIGNES FRANCE


The Sports Syndicate's snowboarder Mark McMorris took the Silver medal on the Jeep Slopestyle course at X Games Tignes 2013. Mark's friend and fellow competitor Sebastien Toutant remarked, "Mark's been killing it this year. I've known him since I was little and you know he proved himself a lot," Toutant said, after the competition, trading high fives with McMorris. McMorris said. "It was my last slopestyle run of the year contest-wise, and to end it like that I'm happy. That's the way I wanted to ride and whatever happened happened." Toutant landed the first clean triple cork of the competition in his second run, followed by a stomped Cab 1260, earning a score of 95.0. That left all eyes on McMorris, who improved his score to 94.0, one point shy of Toutant, with a run that included a Cab 1260 double cork and a backside triple cork.
