ASPEN, Colo. (AP) — Australian snowboarder Scotty James has gone to work on new tricks inside a private halfpipe in Switzerland.

His latest creation is a triple cork that includes three flips and may just be the gold standard at the Beijing Games. The 27-year-old might even show off his latest creations at the Winter X Games this weekend in Aspen, Colorado. He will be wearing his distinctive red boxing-glove mittens since he views a competition as a prize fight.
