except the last 180 was spun on the ground. super gay a 96 run when his first hit was a lean air.

you know that the judges will sway in his direction for the trend boarders, just like how he won some skateboarding comp that he entirely did not deserve to.

anyone who hates on him is foolish, hes so fucking smooth. how can you hate on someone who wins gold in two different x games sports. hes better in the pipe than anyone else, judges have nothing to do with it....and tons of guys do lean airs on their first hits...

not even close. the last like 120 degrees was completely spun on the ground. watch the slow mo. i guess thats just something all snowboarders do though. kind of like the landing to olenicks whiskey flip.

Why don't you guys stop riding his dick like every sponsor and espn does, and pay attention if you're going to make stupid x-games threads.

Torstein Horgmo landed a SWITCH BACKSIDE 1260 saturday night.

he is hated because he gets extra points for being shaun white, not because of his snowboarding. He might be the best there is at the moment but there are so many comps he shouldnt have won but he still did.

I remember 3 years ago when Eddie Wall (I think) did a 1260 in the pipe and it was really just a 900 with a 180 before he left the wall and another one as soon as he landed. I'm glad to see nothing has changed.
I just wanna see Shawn White 1080 a skateboard.

Yeah, I've always liked Shawn's snowboarding influence in skating. Not just ½ πp but its noticable on rails and shit too.

He Blatantly spins at least the last 90 on the wall at the end, when you see it from the bottom of the pipe its obvious he didn't stomp it but its a sick run none the less.
