Yo Beat Magazine's Official Dumb Ass of the Year Award:

...and the winner is:

Mike Michaelchuk, who in one of the most brilliant moves in professional snowboarding this year, brought only one board with him to the Grand Prix in Sunday River, ME.  When he broke it, he was left with nothing to ride but a Burton for the finals.  Isn't he one of Salomon's top pros? Didn't Trevor Andrew already pull that move?  Michaelchuk has denied rumors of a possible sponsor switch.
