WHITE DOES IT AGAIN


Shaun White took home the gold on Sunday night, winning yet another Superpipe final and becoming the Winter X Games most successful athlete in the process. In perhaps his best performance ever Shaun White accomplished something that no other rider has ever been able to do. White’s run included a frontside big air, front- and backside 1080s, and – to top it off – a frontside 1260 at the bottom of the pipe. It was the first time any rider has landed a 1260 in competition, not to mention doing it after back to back 10’s and in snowy conditions. Simply amazing!
