Back in November, Pinette and his Team Canada mates also scored the overall title at the Pan American Championships in Mexico.
Pinette set a new Canadian record with a jump of 190 feet, the third longest ever at this event to take gold in that event.
Asked what’s next, Pinette says…taking a little bit of time off and then I’m going to the Masters which is top five in the world qualify for it and I qualified third place for jump, so I’m going there in May.”
The World Junior Masters is being held on Robin Lake at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain Georgia.
