\u201cLocal riders pass boardercross test,\u201d an Aspen Times article said Jan. 31, 2000. \u201cOn a great day for local snowboarders, Sweden\u2019s Pontus Stahlkloo and Marguerite Cossettini of Australia were the king and queen of the hill, winning the Swatch Boardercross World Tour stop at Snowmass Ski Area in dominating action. \u2026 Of the 48 men and 24 women who advanced beyond the time trial, a large contingent was on hand to represent the Roaring Fork Valley. Travis McLain of Snowmass Village led the way for the local riders, finishing eighth despite crossing the finish line on his head in one heat. \u2018I had fun,\u2019 he said. \u2018I was hoping to do well. I got a spot in the X Games, so I wanted to get in some practice here.\u2019 Just behind McLain in 11th place was Cooper Hall of Aspen, riding in his first World Tour event at the tender age of 17.\u201d Other valley locals included Quincy Kimbrell and John Norman, both of Snowmass Village, and fellow AVSC teammate of Hall\u2019s, Christian Mosiman. \u201cTwo other local riders, Lucas Franze and Suzy Parker, also qualified for Saturday\u2019s races but had to withdraw due to a dislocated shoulder and a concussion, respectively, suffered in their second time trial runs on Friday,\u201d the article continued.<\/p>\n
