Canadian snowboarders Parrot, O’Brien win slopestyle event at Dew Tour
Canadian snowboarder Max Parrot waited at the bottom of the Dew Tour slopestyle course on Saturday as seven other riders took their turns down the track.
One by one, they failed to best his 97 points, and Parrot could finally celebrate a long-awaited accomplishment.
The 23-year-old from Bromont, Que., won the men’s slopestyle event in Breckenride, Colo., for the first time in seven Dew Tour starts since 2011.
“I’ve had two podiums before today — a third place and a second place — but I finally won it,” Parrot said in a phone interview with The Canadian Press. “It means a lot to me and I’m very happy.
