Notable:
At 6'4" tall, Jordon Monk doesn't fit the typical "jibber" mold. A former acro and aerials specialist, Monk beat seasoned pipe competitors Candide Thovex and Philippe Poirier to win the superpipe at the World Skiing Invitational in Whistler, BC, CAN in April ('02).
Quote:
"Candide Thovex and Philou (Poirier) are people I have been watching since I started with freeskiing. They are the people you watch in videos and try to figure out how they do their tricks and when you are actually in a competition with them it is kind of weird."
