His runs were highly technical and included trademark tricks like his kickflip body varial 540. He also nailed a big 720 into a 540 and a nollie heel (among other tricks) to chalk up a 91. The podium scores were tight but PLG was able to edge out the win.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;An incredibly disciplined and consistent rider, PLG\\u2019s been a mainstay on the X Games Podium. He now holds an incredible 18 medals: 8 Gold, 8 Silver, and 2 Bronze.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
