ASPEN, Colo. - Competing despite a broken collar bone, Iron River's Nick Baumgartner took his first Winter X Games gold medal in the men's snowboardcross.

'Fifteen screws and a plate, but nothing was holding me back today,' Baumgartner said.

Baumgartner's victory ended a five-year winning streak for reigning X Games champ Nate Holland of Squaw Valley, Calif., who finished third.

Baumgartner's son Landon was in attendance, watching his dad compete in person for the first time."
