Scotty James is on a roll, the Australian snowboarder winning his third consecutive  halfpipe World Championship today in Park City, Utah.   Scotty came out blazing on his first run, the judges awarding it a 94.25, a score that wasn’t surpassed for the rest of the final, until Scotty dropped a massive 97.5 on his third and final run.

James is having an excellent Northern Hemisphere season and today’s win came just a couple of weeks after he won the X Games in Aspen.

Australian team-mate Kent Callister finished fifth with a score of 79.00
