Burton US Open 2014 Gallery

When it comes to top level turbo boarding it doesn't get much better than the US Open 2014. This year's intense stunt race of for the next cork seems to have caused these contest cruisers to have reached a new standard of technicality and cleanliness. This year's park at Vail was gnarl-burgers that the boys & girlsrode through the storm. The mega dude tube was laser-tuned to perfection under a blazing Colorado sun. Contest kings like Mark McMorris and Stale Sandbech were running game as usual and some old pipe kings like Terje turned up the hype through the roof and turned the poacher's sesh into a total method party. But flying along side these old familiar faces is a whole new fleet of high young ninjas that can only assure us that Darwin's theories of (r)evolution are true!
