X Games Snowboard slopestyle

I heard that in warm up Shawn White threw 5 triple corks in a row.

People need to ease up on this guy. He's the Lebron of snowboarding. You either love him or you hate him.

I personally love him and hope he takes double gold, Slopestyle and Pipe.

I personally don't like the way things have gotten with XGames snowboarding in terms of the training and devotion to bigger crazier tricks.  I think a lot of the style aspect of snowboarding has been lost, now we're up to what triple cork 1260s, spin to win style.  The fact that it requires intense training using things like airbags or foam pits instead of natural features that you have to find takes away a lot of the fun and relatability to regular guys out riding the mountains.  I think the thing TRice was doing with RedBull the Supernatural contest is much more entertaining to me, if it's done right.

^^^ I can't wait to find out where these "local pros" have their "home mountains" so I can buy some $100 lift tickets!

Well, the X-games is getting more and more corporate. They only hype up corks because it's dubbed as the hardest trick in snowboarding. So that's the top of the snowboarding food chain trick. And you know how corporate is; take the top and make it the standard.

Congrats Mark McMorris! Man that guy's style is smooth! Now to watch the girls, rip it up chicks!

yeah that kid seems pretty humble and that is good. i think his dad had a lot of good things to say also. glad he wants to do supernatural again and im really interested to see how he improves in that.

Hey Shaun, remember that triple you did? I did it beetter, I did it beetter..."


I could do without the bad Cartman-esque voiceover for McLovin, but still farkin' funny!

Congrats to Jaime Anderson for winning gold! Way to rep Tahoe chick! Keep huggin those trees!

I love that someone is giving White a run for his money.
I also love that his dad went out of his way to support Mark's passion for the sport!

i relate it to more ignorance and a "mainstream" crowd vs. popularity.  like mainstream rap music, some of it is catchy, some of it is well marketed, but anybody that refuses to look past it as the "only" type of rap music is just ignorant and annoying really.  its like so many people love the song that says 'ass' or 'faded' the ENTIRE TIME.  or guys like lil wayne who mumble rhymes and such.  same thing with skrillex and dubstep, tiger and golf, lebron and basketball.  sure they all were able to find success at what they do, and are some of the best at what they do.  but there are plenty of others killing it out there that the mainstream crowd will never know, or care to know for that matter, due to their own ignorance and a lack of understanding of the importance of originality, variety, and variation.

i wouldn't be surprised if x games decided to sponsor him soon.  not like it really bothers me though.  i know i won't be competing in any x games anytime soon.

wasnt saying anything negative about texans. they are my friends after all. it is interesting that the guy who is the big name is usually the winner. maybe thats why they are the big name though.
