Iouri Podladtchikov finishes second at the Snowbasin Toyota halfpipe Championships & Overall 2012 Halfpipe Dew Tour
By just one point, Iouri Podladtchikov missed tonight the opportunity of bringing back home the Dew Tour cup. Despite achieving a 97 point score on his best run in the Pipe finals(backside double McTwist 1260 – frontside double cork 1080 – cab double cork 1080 – frontside 1080 – cab 1080)
Quiksilver swiss rider was beaten by American Louie Vito, runner up on the Dew Tour ranking before the last event in Snowbasin (Utah, USA). The American pulled off his victory in front of his home crowd with the highest score ever set in the Dew Tour (98 points) and finally took the trophy for the second year in a row. After winning the last Dew Tour event in Killington (Vermont, USA) and getting Silver at the Winter X Games in Aspen, Iouri is heading to Oslo for the world champs then Tignes X-Games with his sights set at winning both.
