MARK MCMORRIS: #5 | X Games 2019 Top 10 Moments

In a fantastic comp that featured six scores of 90 or above, perhaps the best competitive slopestyle athlete ever saved his best for last. Mark McMorris sat in 2nd after Run 1 with a strong 89.66. By the time he dropped in for his last run -- the very last run of the entire contest -- he was down in 5th. But McMo loves pressure and is a contest killer, and he laid down an incredible pass that scored a 96, edging the surprising Rene Rinnekangas (who knew he was beat but was just so stoked to be there) for the dramatic walk-off win.

The entire run was great, but if we don’t have time to show it then focus on the jump line: switch backside 1260 stalefish, frontside triple cork 1440 mute, backside triple cork 1620 mute. Can’t beat the call, either, featuring analyst Craig McMorris shouting, “Touchdown, Saskatchewan!”

Slopestyle gold was Mark’s 5th in the discipline, tying Shaun White’s decade-old X Games mark. McMorris now has 10 Slopestyle medals total, most in history. His 17 X Games medals overall equals Joe Parsons for second-most XG winter discipline podiums, one behind White.
