Mark McMorris Talks Winning Gold in America’s Navy Big Air at X Games Aspen 2015 – Watch the Interview!

 

Congrats are in order for Mark McMorris this evening!

The 21-year-old professional snowboarder snagged the coveted gold medal in the America’s Navy Big Air competition at X Games Aspen 2015, outpacing his competitors with a 35 on his first run and a 47 on his third run with a combined score of 88.

Fellow Canadian and last year’s gold medalist Max Parrot took silver with a combined score of 82 and Japan’s Yuki Kadono took the bronze with a score of 66. McMorris, who also won gold in this event in 2012, received his competition high score of 47 with a frontside triple cork 1140.

When asked about his winning trick, McMorris said, “That’s a scary one. I’ve done it once in my life and that was two years ago. It hasn’t been done in a contest before. There was no thinking and it was so much nerves, but it comes around so fast you don’t have time to get scared. I have to just try it and it paid off. It was just one of those exciting moments.”

ICYMI: Mark also placed first in the Men’s Snowboard Slopestyle Elimination round this afternoon.
