THAT'S 3 AND A HALF REVOLUTIONS

AND IN DRIVING SNOW

THE dude's goin OFF

( I can't understand any logical reason for down votes on this video - makes me honestly wonder if those 2 watched it ) 

This is as Athletic as Anything

This is Breathtaking to Watch

Sooo... everyone's asking about what those moves are in the video.  It goes by so fast, and it's hard to get it if you're not an expert yourself. 

Sooo... here's what he did in this run: The Progression...

Leaner / McTwist / Frontside 1080 / Fakey to Forward 1080 / Frontside 900 / Backside 900 / Frontside 1260

Yesss... You read that right.  I'd like to try to count up the number of total times he spun around, but my OWN HEAD SPINS TRYING !

By the way, first time ever by anyone in a competition to land a frontside 1260.  Congrats, Shaun ! You do Carlsbad proud !

=)

he is friggin awesome dude

he deserves all of the fame he is getting now too

In this video'sdescription,  I referenced  problem with the local station refusing to show X Games.  After this post, we determined that FOX 6 was the only station in region not to show this Shaun video ( they had a half hour sports show that night, too !) and they never metioned the X Games once all week. Shaun was born and still lives in San Diego...

My Monday followup news on the station's refusal to cover Shaun's win is now posted ( a BallHype original ), here -

UPDATE:

so, they never mentioned the X Games including the local superstar Shaun White and his Gold Medal run on Sunday night..., But on Thursday night (31), they showed a 'Red Bull Crashed Ice' event, which CS Keys was calling a new extreme sport that was catching on...

And XETV says X Games aren't REAL sports...
