Eh? Vote for snowboarder to help family of slain police officer

Professional snowboarder Dan Brisse of Richmond, Minn., will compete in the Winter X Games later this month.

Right now, he’s going head to head with other boarders in a contest for a $10,000 prize. If Brisse wins, he said he’ll donate the entire amount to the memorial fund that benefits the family of slain Cold Spring-Richmond police officer Tom Decker, who died in November.

Go to xgames.com/realsnow to vote for Brisse and his tricks. He has made it from eight to the final four but needs your help. He trailed Eero Ettala by a significant chunk as of Tuesday night.

This round of voting ends Monday. The final round is Tuesday through Jan. 27. The winner will be announced on ESPN.
