Dusty Henricksen grabs slopestyle Crystal Globe, Taiga Hasegawa signs off season with victory

Dusty Henricksen wrapped up his slopestyle World Cup season with the Crystal Globe in hand following the final event of the season in Silvaplana.

The 20-year-old from the USA grabbed one gold and two silvers on the circuit this season and clinched the overall standings title with a seventh-placed finish in Switzerland.

Taiga Hasegawa, 17, took the final victory of the season with an incredible score of 92 with Canada’s Liam Brearley in second with 89 points.

Henricksen only picked up a score of 72 in the constantly changing conditions, as riders struggled to complete their runs.

Hasegawa finished his run with an outrageous backside 1800 Weddle on the final booter to grab the gold.

“Thank you everyone,” Hasegawa said. “I’m so happy to get my first slopestyle podium and be first. Thank you so much.”
