Mike Montgomery has just won the Teva Mountain Games Slopestyle at Golden Peak in Vail Colorado. Paul Basagoitia in 2nd and Anthony Messere 3rd, Sam Dueck 4th, and Kurt Sorge 5th.
It sounds like Paul Bas went down hard on a double backflip and was taken to the hospital to get checked out, we're hoping he's all right!
Mike Montgomery FTW!

Podium shot, credit goes to Skullcandy, thanks!
Paul feels out the course during practice with a clicked shoulder buzz.
The Camera crew was all over Montgomery after his first run in finals. It obviously didn't blow his focus...
Teva Team Rider Kurt Sorge gets his game face on as he walks up to the start gate.
The boner drop was a tricky one. The landing was small, steep and very easy to overshoot. Mitch Chubey plays it safe here, but truck driver'd this feature later on.
Suicide no hander off the boner drop. I bet the dude standing under the drop has the best 'guy in the sky' photo ever
If you didn't know, Carson has a 720 in his bag so 360's like this are his warm up trick.
TV cameras were all over the course. Ryan Meyer and AT relax while the guy behind is stressing out to get the "lifestyle" shot.
The cable cam was just barely out of the way in time for me to catch this shot of Mike Kent's 360.
NEWSFLASH> No one cares about internet message board spelling except you (and a couple of other wieners I've come across in my travels). Stop beating this horse. It died a long time ago. /NEWSFLASH>
Its great to see enthusiastic comments supporting the sport.
When the spelling is odd by error its all good as everyone is looking at tons of pictures and videos at once.
But when its deliberate to make your comment shorter, I too care about spelling.
Now all of us understand abbreviations, hahahahhahaha
Great event and Im stoked to see all the new and old talent mixing and competing at the same level!
RideOn!
There are actually thousands of educated Pinkbike viewers that care about spelling, just because you failed English doesn't mean the rest of the world should have to try to read that mess.

Also too*, 'to' is 'I am going to decapitate you', 'too' is, 'You are too spiffy'.
