Entering his 11th WX, Oksanen has four medals, the last a Slopestyle '07 silver. At age 30, Oksanen's big, flowing style still appeals at comps, but he prefers to ride powder in the backcountry and throw slow-rotation floaters like 180s and 360s. He made the WX '09 Slopestyle final and finished 8th, but he may not have the juice to keep up with the other riders in the pack, some of whom are nearly half his age.
Is Jussi Oksanen a true legend? Two medals for one video contest can't be wrong.
