I would have been tweeting each and every flawlessly executed aerial as well as the wipeouts.
Kelly Clark and Shaun White both landed first place spots at the Copper leg of the Grand Prix Tour yesterday. If you have been paying attention to the lead up and to the qualifiers, you must have known.
Unfortunately I don’t get paid to write, and am not sent around the world to document snowboarding events or expeditions, otherwise I would have been tweeting each and every flawlessly executed aerial as well as the wipeouts from the past three days. That being said, I would love to be able to recount what went down and what I thought of each rider’s runs for you, but I can’t cause I wasn’t there. What will have to suffice are the scores and the following images of the top two women and men accompanied by related video footage.

Do you know any media or gear companies that are looking for a journalist to rock out columns or blogs for them? If you do, I would hope that you urge them to hit me up!
