Hmmm, is this an example of what drinking many beers and googling "Autocross + triple Lutz" produces?

:lol: :lol:

Yeah! That totally kicked ass and that dude (Shawn Wescott) is from Durham too.

It's wild how they actually absorb the jumps in order to gain speed.

"From Durham" should actually hae been reported as "Born in Durham".

He has lived in Maine for quite some time according to the interviews I've seen.

But BorderCross is awesome. Too bad the american girl had to show off on the last jump and wipe out on the landing. She had 3 seconds on the field and threw it away! :oops:

Yeah that is a shame. Jacobellis is awesome on a snow board. They love to do that little tweek off the last jump. Just like the motocrossers. But it cost her a Gold Medal! That was not the run to take any chances...
