XUETONG CAI & YUTO TOTSUKA WIN 2020 BURTON U·S·OPEN HALFPIPE TITLES

The sun was out, the mood was celebratory, and the conditions were flawless for the Burton U·S·Open superpipe finals—the culmination of the week-long event. While the day’s competition took front and center, a special moment to honor Burton founder Jake Burton Carpenter whose recent passing weighed heavy on the event, momentarily stole the spotlight. During a pause in men’s pipe finals, a non-stop stream of riders representing 38 years of the Burton U·S·Open dropped into the halfpipe to honor Jake. At a single moment in time, the pipe held a field of riders including Ross Powers, Tricia Byrnes, Danny Kass, Gretchen Bleiler, the Mitrani brothers, Shaun White, Kelly Clark and the list goes on in the most fitting memorial to Jake, who Danny Davis remembered in a touching goodbye as the most influential snowboarder in the world.
