Jamie Anderson wins Big Air Snowboarding title in China

South Lake Tahoe's Jamie Anderson won the big air title Sunday at the TTR Pro Snowboarding/WSF World Snowboard Federation’s World Championships of Snowboarding in Yabuli.

Anderson, who is fresh off a win at the Burton US Open in slopestyle, won the world title with a pair of 720s (Cab and frontside) in the two-run format.

“I’m really stoked,” she said of the win. “I kind of played it safe, but I think it was a smart call for me. I like the format—I think it’s good because it shows diversity but I’m definitely excited to learn some bigger tricks for big air. It’s just been a hectic winter—I want to work on more tech tricks but for the time being I just did what I know I can land consistently.”

She now leads the Women's Big Air Tour with 750 points, almost 200 points ahead of the nearest competitor. For the Women's Slopestyle Tour, Anderson is currently in second.

"I can’t believe it I’m so happy, so grateful I was able to put down a couple of good runs," said Anderson. "I as a little bit unconfident going in, barely qualifying in fifth but I knew it be a different ballpark when we had to throw down two different runs."
