Winter X-Games Next Trick
Levi LaVallee hands down had the most jaw-dropping, and of course most anticipated, trick of the evening…the Double BackFlip; and he nearly pulled it off. He completed two rotations and landed on his track, but the landing was just so hard it popped him off the sled, but as fast as he went down…he got right back up with his hands in the air. Although the trick didn’t actually count, it was still quite a feat. In fact, all Next Trick competitors (except one) failed to complete their tricks, leaving it an easy gold medal decision. Dane Fergusson, who was originally planning a double back flip as well but couldn’t get the appropriate sled and funding in time, captured the gold with a not-so-elegant single back flip. Check out the video of the winning back flip and LaVallee’s double.
