Up Next for JJ Thomas — Winter X Games
After a grueling three way tie between Greg Bretz, Tactics 1FTP team rider JJ Thomas, and Luke Mitrani for the 4th spot on the Olympic halfpipe team, we have just learned that the tie breaker goes to Greg Bretz. It came down to JJ and Greg’s 4th result, with JJ having a 7th and Greg with a 6th. JJ definitely killed it out there on the halfpipe and there is no doubt that he is a world class athlete! Though JJ’s 2010 Olympic travels are ending, his snow season is just beginning. Up next for JJ is the Winter X Games.
We are pumped to announce that Tactics snowboard team manager, Jesse “Wetrat” Johnson, will be heading to Aspen to hang out with his pal JJ Thomas and help Tactics cover the games. Jesse left today and will be with JJ the entire week. Be ready for a live Tweets and Facebook updates, video, photos AND Tactics exclusive updates of our man, JJ Thomas. Check out the schedule of the Winter X Games below.
