![]() I’ve been trying since 2011 and I hadn’t won it, but that all changed today!” said Parrot, who was quick to credit the level of riding of the other competitiors and the comment on the difficulty of the course. “I’m really proud of myself and happy becuse the Dew Tour has alway been a big contest for me next to the X Games and I’ve dreamnt about winning it since I was a little kid. Dropping a heavy list of tricks on the Slopestlye course, Parrot grabbed a near perfect 97.00 points on his way to victory and was clearly happy to nab the title that had eluded him up until this point. Parrot also posted the highest score of the day on his second run, beating out a heavy field of riders that also included Canada’s Darcy Sharpe (6th, Comox, BC), Mark McMorris (8th, Regina, SK) and Tyler Nicholson (10th, North Bay, ON). I didn’t actually get to do the run I wanted to, but I’m just really happy to have put down a good run and to have stood on top of that podium again.” I really went out there today to do my run. O’Brien was clearly excited to have stomped her run, and was estatic with her final result. In the final she landed a technical and consistent run on her second go through, that the judges rewarded with a whopping 95.00 points. O’Brien dropped second last after taking home the number two spot during Wednesday’s women’s slope qualifiers. Jamie Anderson (2 nd, USA) and Enni Rukajarvi (3rd, FIN) rounded out the women’s podium with Chris Corning (2 nd, USA) and Mons Røisland (3rd, NOR) rounding out the men’s podium. Attending his 7th Dew Tour, this is the first time that Parrot has taken home the gold. We are looking forward to seeing them take on the world in PyeongChang in February!īreckenridge, CO, USA – Canadian riders put on a show at Breckenridge, Colorado’s Dew Tour, with Spencer O’Brien (Courtenay, BC) and Max Parrot (Bromont, QC) taking top spot on the podium in Women’s and Men’s slopestyle respectively.
