Quarterpipe: KIM RUNE HANSEN

It was a night for the Nordics in the quarterpipe at The O'Neill Evolution. Norwegian, Kim Rune Hansen flew to 6.4 meters with his Backside Rodeo 540 Melon Grab, awarding him a winning score of 252 points out of a possible 300.

He lands himself US$15,000 and 1,000 Swatch TTR ranking points. "I didn't think that I was going to win this. I am super stoked," he said.

Kim Rune was closely followed by two Finnish riders, Risto Mattila in second place and 19 year old Peetu Piiroinen in third place. Risto Mattila impressed the judges - as well as the throng of 7,000 people lining the quarterpipe at the foot of the Jakobshorn - with a clean travelling McTwist of 4.5 meters. "I am really stoked. I did my best and I couldn't go any higher," he said.
