Finchy going for Gold

Today in the Alternative Olympic Games where Finchy Golden our very own birdie snow boarder tackles the half pipe, a long half-cylinder covered in snow and ice. As he launches up to the edge of one side he propels across the half pipe in such a way to shoot over the edge of the other side where his fans the Siskins egg him on. When in the air he performs death-defying flights involving flips and spins continuing this boarding in a back and forth pattern, down one wall and up the next, completing the first of two runs in this heat of the competition taking second place. The top three birdies from each of the two heats advance to the final.
