They should review that Italian boy pushing Gregg out of the way. Didn't look legal.

I guess I'm not their audience, but I don't get what people see in this snowboarding half pipe. All the tricks look pretty similar to me. Boring.

Just wait till Shaun White goes. That's the only reason I'm watching. The guy's insane!

There's no way we medal in the half-pipe. Our guy has 33.8 (one more run to go), but the leader(s) are getting 42's+ and Shaun White will probably pull a 45+.

Boy I sure hope so. I think they should let like 3 of them go at once, and you get bonus points if you body check another dude off the pipe in mid-air.

Hmm, that's what the hype was about? Dude going higher then the others?

I think I'll stick to chicks wiping out in alpine. I'm clearly getting old and crotchety, ha.

Americans will get atleast 2 more medals in the halfpipe (maybe sweep the podium). White is flat out amazing.

Maybe Im crazy but I didnt think he was that much better than the other guys I saw, Im wondering if he was given more points thanks to name recognition.

Lamareux needs to find 10+ points just to take over 2nd. White has the Gold locked down.

He goes about 10 feet higher than the other guys.

lol it's not everybody's cup of tea. Although you can see that he does tricks that nobody else would dare to do as well as getting ridiculous air doing it.

Since nobody is going to beat his score, Shaun White should just ride right down the middle of the pipe and collect his Gold medal.

And his twists are tighter, his landings are cleaner, his grabs are more impressive....everything about him is amazing for the half pipe.

The only thing disappointing about White's first run was he didn't throw some crazy secret trick that he's been working on at his crazy secret half pipe. Otherwise, sweet jesus he's good.
