IPOD TAKES THE TOP SPOT AT THE INAUGURAL EUROPEAN X-GAMES 15/03/2010
Yup, you read right... Ipod got his Olympic redemption and then some, after
taking home the gold medal already in his 2nd out 3 final runs..
His winning run started with a cab 10 doublecork, to fs 5 to a perfect
double Mctwist 1260 to fs 10 to Cab 7. And that run earned him a score of 98 out of a possible 100 points. Then, in his final run, he went apeshit and
stomped the highest Method's and Air to fakie of the whole event..
Not much else to say than a huge congratulations to Ipod. He is only the 2nd
person to ever land the double Mctwist 12, after Shaun White.
Final results 2010 Euro X-Games Mens Pipe finals:
1. Iouri "Ipod" Podladtchikov SUI
2. Mathieu Crepel FRA
3. Louie Vito USA
Ipod, How did you feel when you landed that 1260?
- I felt like "Keep goin can`t screw it now!"
And what you gonna spend the prize money on? A faster car?
- Naah, the car will have to wait as the season isn't over yet.
I think the prize money goes into a new lens for my camera.
Its an expensive one you wouldn't buy on a regular day so this opportunity to buy something totally overpriced you don't get everyday right?
What can we expect you to bust out at the US OPen next, a new trick combo?
I want to put the double chuck in my run,
I haven't been able to all season cause of circumstances
at the events but i would love to.
Stay tuned to see what happens at the US Open next week! Will Ipod make it
there in time? Will he land the double chuck? Or will he lose focus and get
caught up in shooting photos of über-hot models? Time will show.
