Allen ‘Chumpy’ Pullin,  made some lively primary runs in the Snowboarding Cross event at the Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010. Qualifying first before falling in his next heat.

Pullin told the official Australian Olympic site of what transpired once he hit the front in his heat.

“It’s just part of the sport I guess. I got out in front, took a glance and saw I had Seth (Westcott) under control. I came into a critical section, came into a double-double and took an edge,” Pullin said.

“It felt really good today. It was just that one brief moment that’s how boardercross is.

“It was a really fun day, I enjoyed the competition and the atmosphere of my first Olympics,” he added.
