Mark McMorris rides in the Finals of the US Open
March 23rd, 2009
Wow! That is pretty much all I can say at this point. Class Five team rider Mark McMorris has done something this week that very few people have been able to accomplish. He rode his way through every level of qualifiying to make it all the way to the finals of the US Open at Stratton, Vermont yesterday.
The US Open can easliy be described as one of the biggest contests in snowboarding. It has an increadable history dating back to the early days of the sport. Many of the worlds biggest riders have made their names competeing in the US Open.
Mark did an amazing job in the finals and when the day came to a close he finished in 14th place. This is an amazing finish for 15 year old Mark, given both his age and the fact that this is his first time competing in the Open.
Congratulations Mark! We couldn’t be more stoked!
