With 10 mind-blowing tricks to vote for and $10,000 on the line, it was never going to be easy for the public to make their choice. Yet as thousands of votes came streaming in from all corners of the globe, one clear winner emerged as the 2011 Toyota One Hit Wonder Down Under Champion – 19 year old Gus Kenworthy from Telluride in Colorado, USA.
Kenworthy pipped the likes of free-ski superstars; 2010 defending champion Bobby Brown, Jossi Wells and Joe Schuster, as well as Salomon Australia teammates and brother combo Jordan & Jesse Houghton. Had he landed his flawless double cork 1440 tail grab in front of a panel of judges, it probably would have garnered the same result.
