Mark McMorris is a seven-time X Games Aspen snowboard champion with a record 20 Winter X Games medals overall, but he won his first world championship on Tuesday.
McMorris was part of a Canadian sweep of the men’s and women’s big air titles on the final day of the world freestyle skiing and snowboarding championships in Aspen, Colorado. Laurie Blouin took the women’s gold.
In big air, an athlete’s top two scores, throwing different tricks, among three runs are added together for a final score.
McMorris, the two-time Olympic slopestyle bronze medalist, landed two different 1620s for 92.
