During 2000-2001, her first full season against major international competition, Kelly Clark was America's best women's halfpipe snowboarder. Clark might be America's best bet for a women's halfpipe medal, especially if she can maintain her above-average amplitude. She also is one of the few women capable of doing inverted tricks.
Tommy Czeschin
Tommy "The Machine" Czeschin has been the top American male halfpipe snowboarder on the World Cup circuit during the past three seasons. The 22-year-old Californian is among those who can consistently complete 1080s, or three full spins.
