The event i've been waiting for all these years, has finally come, and gone, and with some GREAT (and not so great unfortunatly...) results! Both Mike Robertson, and Maelle Ricker have won medals in the Boardercross events at CypresMountain!
Robertson, ranked 10th(i think) in the world cup standings, comes in on 50 to 1 odds leading to the main event. 3rd overall in qualifying, he went on to win all his heat races! In the big final, however, he was narrowly beaten by American boardercross legend, and one of my personal heroes, Seth Wescott. Still, and incredible finish for Robertson, despite that tiny little bounce on one of the final rollers.
Ricker, had an almost identical set of circumstances as Robertson did leading into the finals. Although there was a bit of controversy involving American Lindsay Jacobellis, Ricker went on to win the Big final, and the Gold Medal!
Props to both of them, and I sincerly hope that C.O.P. Will bring back a Boardercross course in light of these recent results.
Also, Dom Maltais from Quebec, crashed out in both of her qualifiers, due to some extremely shitty weather.
These results have re-ignighted my love of the sport, as I knew it would. Now, all I've gotta do, is get myself ready to kick some ass next season!
