Jamie Anderson wins Slopestyle at Burton European Open

Another bluebird day, spring temperatures
and an epic Slopestyle course laid the groundwork for one of the Burton
European Open’s most memorable slopestyle competitions earlier today.
Jamie Anderson (USA) successfully defended her title and won the BEO
Slopestyle for the second year in a row,

Eight women competed in the finals, pushing things to a super high
level of riding that is rarely seen in women’s slopestyle finals. Each
rider had three runs to earn her best score, and Jamie Anderson took
the lead with her first run. Jamie then proceeded to top her own score
with each subsequent run, with a final winning score of 93.58. Jamie’s
winning run included a backside tailslide on the rail, a frontside 360 to backside 180 on the step-up/step-down combo, a Cab 720 nose grab and switch backside 540 Indy grab on the kickers, finishing off with a backside lipslide to frontside 360 melon. Enni Rukajärvi (FIN) managed
to get close to Jamie with a top score of 81.80, ending up in second place followed by a new face on the BEO podium, Swiss rider Isabel Derungs, who took third.

Jamie had this to say about her win, “It was the best riding I have
ever seen from the girls. I love the new course…it’s great for creative
runs. I’m so happy that I won because my mom stayed up all night to
watch the finals.”

After today’s slopestyle finals, the MINI Creative Use of Space (CUOS)
Awards go to Jamie Anderson and Emil Ulsletten (NOR). Both of them won
$5,000 each with the most creative tricks of the day. Jamie earned the
award with a backside lipslide to frontside 360 Melon on the MINI CUOS
feature, while Emil secured the award with a frontside Alley Oop 360 to
Cab 180 on 360 out.
