Mind you, he and his broadcasting crew were running out of words to describe the phenomenal performance of Melville Ives in the final event of the X Games at Aspen yesterday. Melville Ives led from the first of his three runs, getting better each time down the massive pipe in front of thousands of screaming fans. Gold for Melville Ives followed gold and silver for Luca Harrington, two silvers for Zoi Sadowski-Synnott and silver for Rocco Jamieson as the New Zealanders completed an outstanding X Games campaign.
