In an "Idol-esque" conclusion to the most watched skiing and snowboarding event in Australia, Salomon International Team freeskier Bobby Brown and South Coast local snowboarder Clint Allan have emerged as the people's choice winners of the 2010 Toyota One Hit Wonder Down Under.

Three weeks after 16 of some of the worlds most talented skiers and snowboarders were invited to showcase their best 'one hit' for the cameras, over 3,000 public votes from around the world were counted to crown two of the most progressive big air tricks seen in the Southern Hemisphere.

Allan, 23, won the public vote with a backside double corked 1080 on the first day of jumping the 90 foot step-over feature, right before landing short a few jumps later. The impact was so severe he broke both his ankles, ending his season. "It almost makes breaking both my legs worthwhile... Almost", Allan quipped from his wheelchair. "I'll probably spend the money on a bit of rehab so I can get back on a board as soon as possible. I can't wait to start jumping again."
