Someone asked if the Americans were surprised that Markku was the bronze medallists instead of the favorite, Antti Autti? Kass answered, saying no, Markku was one of the first to ever throw a cab 1080 and “he slaughtered it today.” The reporter asked if he could repeat that, not quite understanding what Danny meant, and Kass replied again, much slower and more loudly “He slaughtered it today.”

Not only did Markuu rip, with style and class, I think that he (and Danny Cass) rode better than that "Burton Fag" Shaun White...Further, ask Shaun White what he thinks of riding the backcountry?...Markuu RIPS EVERYWHERE/ANYWHERE...

Agree with "Reid at February"! I also think that Markko and Danbo were better than burton guy...
TRS rules!!! I've already seen next year's model design and want to say that this year's is MUCH BETTER! Want to take one for me for the next year.

Like how 'Hurton' made them all wear pinstripe wannabe NY Yankee suits with their logo on the arm for advertising? Then they put a B on the pant looking like a Red Sox symbol? What the fuck is wrong with that company? Thank god Markku is Finnish so he didn't have to wear that shit, good job man! Kass should have slapped a Gnu or Mervin logo over that Burton symbol for good measure. Shuan W. should have been disqualified for only pulling a 540 when it was supposed to be a 900, half ass effort...
