Scotty James, the Australian young gun (he is 14!) that last made news with his dual wins at the Burton Euro Open, started his run to the USASA nationals at Park City Utah with a win in the Slopestyle and Halfpipe last weekend. His slope style run went a little something like this: cab 720, switch backside 540, backside 540, with some rails thrown in. His pipe run was a backsides 540 mute folowed by frontside 540 stalefish into a method. Then a frontside 360, a cab 360 with a frontside 7 and switch frontside 7 combo to finish with an alley-opp handplant to fakie.

This will make it 4 wins from 4 starts this Northern competition season for the GNU shredder. Scotty’s win reminds me of that time I won that basketball game in highschool…
