...is so freaking intense

Did anyone else watch the halfpipe finals??

Shawn White dominated on his first run.
Ended up only doing his second run so he could do the double mctwist 1260. Killer victory run (though, he lost a ton of speed for the setup of the trick).
Scored him a near perfect 48.4.

If anyone doesnt know what his new trick is...

Fun fact. He wants to rename the trick 'Tomahawk' after a steak he ate at the X Games. A bit random...but its a killer trick none the less.

Yeah, I've watched all of the skiing/snowboarding events so far. I generally have Canada bias, but I can't deny how amazing Shawn White is.

That was awsome to watch. I couldn't believe it when I saw White's final trick. I've been watching a lot of the Winter Olympics and it's very entertaining.

snowbaording was awesome. its probably my favorite event to watch. yeah, what shaun white did wasamazing. i cant believe he won on his first run. his second run was like literally for the lulz. i feel kinda bad for that one japanese dude who messed up both of his runs though.
