Brett Turcotte wins X-Games Speed and Style Gold! [VIDEO] Featured

Tonight’s final boiled down to a showdown between Monster’s Brett Turcotte and seven-time X Games gold medalist Levi LaVallee. Straight out the gate, both riders went big over the Super Kicker with Turcotte blasting an extended Indy Flip and battled bumper-to-bumper through the corner for a lead position.

Over the next jump, LaVallee pulled out a signature Cordova Flip, trumped in Style score by Turcotte’s Super Flip. With LaVallee building an almost two-second lead, the night’s winner came down to the final jump over the gap. No stranger to high-pressure situations, Turcotte landed a Kod Flip – a backflip performed hanging from the snowmobile's handlebar – ultimately earning a close 88.94 point win over LaVallee’s 88.67 points to claim his first-ever X Games Gold medal.
