The 25-minute jam format pushes snowboarders to their limits of endurance and focus, with one rider after another hucking themselves off the 300-foot in-run and 80-foot jump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">But Friday\u2019s qualifier, which was topped by Canadian star Max Parrot, turned out to be a challenge in a different way for Corning, the 20-year-old Silverthorne resident and American big air star.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">After the 25-minute clock expired, he was up top ready for his last run ranked in sixth position. That\u2019s the bubble spot to make it into Saturday\u2019s primetime final. Then Japanese youngster Ryo Aizawa dropped in and surfed on the back of his board to hold onto the landing of a quad-cork 1800. That\u2019s a massive four-inversion, five-rotation trick on the boundary of snowboarding\u2019s progression and happens to be Corning\u2019s best trick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The development bumped Aizawa suddenly above Corning \u2014 and the cut line \u2014 in the X Games\u2019 jam format, where snowboarders are scored on \u201coverall impression\u201d and re-ranked after every jump. In the end, Friday\u2019s qualifiers were, in order, Parrot, Mons Roisland, Darcy Sharpe, Ryo Aizawa, Yuki Kadono and Rene Rinnekangas. Parrot led the way after easily landing a cab triple-cork 1620 a backside triple-cork 1440 and a frontside triple-cork 1440.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThe level of riding is totally insane,\u201d Parrot said. \u201cOur sport has been progressing so far, so much and every year I get surprised, actually. For qualifications, triples over triples, it\u2019s almost like it was a final.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Triple corks were one thing, but it was the quad cork that totally disrupted Friday\u2019s qualifier. Corning, in recent years, became the first rider to land it at various competitions and on different types of jumps, including last month in the scaffolding-jump spotlight at SunTrust Park in Atlanta. Corning effectively won that baseball-stadium competition \u2014 and the 2019-20 FIS snowboard big air World Cup \u2014 with the trick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Which brings us back to Friday. Aizawa lands the quad-cork. Corning moves down to seventh. And then, 10 seconds before he\u2019s set to drop in for his final run, Corning\u2019s U.S. Snowboard coaches Dave Reynolds and Mike Ramirez tell him to go for the quad cork \u2014 something Corning hoped to save for the final.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Seconds later, Corning wasn\u2019t able to land the trick, bringing his 2020 X Games Aspen to an emotional end despite the fact that he\u2019d landed each and every trick in the elimination round he was confident would qualify him through. He also did not advance out of Thursday\u2019s slopestyle elimination.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">For the ever-focused, ever-motivated Corning, was this more fuel to the fire to come back and win his first X Games Aspen medal next year?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cYeah, I mean, it more just sucks,\u201d Corning said, \u201ccause I don\u2019t know what to do. \u2026 Usually, when we\u2019re at a big air comp, you have time to think about stuff and understand what you\u2019re going to do. But, here, there\u2019s no thinking. You\u2019re just going. I\u2019ve competed for so long doing it the other way that switching, that kind of thing was hard for me. But it is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Corning entered his final run in sixth after landing a backside triple-cork 1440, a switch frontside 1260 with a nose grab and a flat-spin frontside 1440 with a melon grab. In the emotion of the moment right after the round ended, Corning was confident that was good enough to qualify through compared to the batch of tricks landed by the qualifiers just ahead of him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">But with the new X Games format, where riders aren\u2019t awarded explicit scores, he said that made it hard to gauge just how far you are ahead or behind of competitors and just how much more you may need to do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt\u2019s really hard to strategize,\u201d Corning said. \u201cYou\u2019re just guessing. The coaches have no idea what I should do. And I have no idea what I should do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">As for Parrot, he wouldn\u2019t tip his hand on what tricks he\u2019ll try Saturday night (8 p.m., ESPN) when automatic-qualifiers Mark McMorris and Sven Thorgren join the qualifiers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cBigger tricks,\u201d Parrot said. \u201cI ain\u2019t gonna say. I have many tricks. You\u2019ll have to watch to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/sports\/chris-corning-misses-cut-in-excruciating-fashion-at-x-games-aspen-snowboard-big-air\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Corning competes in men\u2019s snowboard big air elimination round at X Games Aspen on Friday, Jan. 24, 2020, at Buttermilk Ski Area in Aspen Snowmass, Colo.
