The 26-year-old athlete had a score of 79.30 in the men’s slopestyle event, finishing ahead of Yiming Su (78.36) of China and American Sean Fitzsimons (77.43) in the 16-man final.
Jobin cleared his first two rails with near-perfect execution, also landing a switch backside double rodeo 1260 nosegrab to cap a stellar run.
