Post #25: How much does a method air cost?

Well it costs Olympic Gold for Lindsey Jacobellis. On the second to last jump, with a 3 second lead in Women's Snowboard-Cross, Lindsey goes for the cherry topping by tweaking a method air. She wipes out on the landing and the second place snowboarder streaks past her for the gold. This article gives a great recap. She first claimed that she was trying to stabilize herself in the air. Later she came clean and said she got caught up in the moment. Too bad I couldn't find a picture of her doing the infamous method air. F#&%*@& Americans!
