Day two of the Rockstar Energy Open is complete, and some of the usual suspects are advancing to finals day. But it wouldn’t be a contest without some dark horses in there as well.
Øyvind Kirkhus, who made it to the semi final via the Video Qualifier Series, will compete in Sunday’s final.
Mark McMorris took the top spot in the semis in his last run after chilling in second place for most of the day. For the women, 16-year-old Colorado native Lily Dhawornvej took the lead with a score of 95.
Jamie Anderson, one of the best slopestyle riders of all time, earned a 90 in her last run to take second place.
“I’m trying to figure out how to catch up to these young guns,” she said. “There’s a lot of nerves up there.”
