The 2019 Burton US Open was the personification of progression, on many levels. After a stacked week of heavy competitions, concerts and parties, the final contest of the 37th annual event came down to Men’s Halfpipe Finals. It was one heck of a show from beginning to end, with none other than Mr. Scotty James taking the win. This marked James’ first-ever Burton US Open win, and his sixth consecutive first-place this season. James literally has been unstoppable in the halfpipe this season.
Check out some of the highlights from Men’s Halfpipe Finals above, and view all the winning runs below. Congrats to all, and shout out to Burton for keeping snowboarding in snowboarders hands. The 10% rule should be in full effect tonight in Vail, Colorado.
