Well, at least you can't chalk this one up to bias. This AP reporter called the move Lindsay Jacobellis executed before she crashed and lost the boardercross gold a "backside method grab" - even though 1) there is no such thing as a frontside method grab, and 2) judging from the replay, she did a "Palmer" air, or a method tweaked out by pulling the bottom of the board up to face the direction of travel.
In her defense, snowboarding IS fun, and is a sport defined by individual style. Leave her alone! She'll pick up the gold in Whistler.
