Men's Halfpipe Dew Tour 2014
1st Taylor Gold (USA)
The men’s halfpipe finals followed immediately after the women’s, and brought some great snowboarding from a truly international field of riders, 12 of which had qualified for finals.
Taylor Gold only just made it into the finals via the Last Chance Qualifier round, but opened up the contest incredibly strongly, posting a run that ultimately held the top spot for the duration of the contest. It included a huge frontside 1260, a double Michalchuck, a stylish air to fakie and back to back 1080s.
2nd Yiwei Zhang (CHN)
Chinese powerhouse Yiwei Zhang charged into second place with his second run, that featured a stratospheric backside air, back to back 1080 double corks and a double crippler.
3rd Scotty James (AUS)
Aussie Scotty James wrapped things up with a solid run for third place.
Also worthy of a mention was Danny Davis, who couldn’t quite put together a podium worthy run but was boosting huge 360s out of the pipe as well as his signature switch method.
