“I thought, the dream just came through and here I am on the podium with my idols,” Su said. “I can’t believe this just happened.” Two minutes passed and the score came up, and McMorris jammed the board into the ground, this time more irked than happy.

“There’s nothing you can really complain about and I don’t want to be a judge or anything,” Gerard said. “There were a lot of landed runs out there, and it’s hard. But yeah, I would’ve liked to have been up there for sure.”“Max beat cancer,” McMorris said, “and it’s pretty sick to see him do well. And he didn’t come to any slopestyle this year. It’s not his strong suit. Big air is, and he just won slopestyle today.
