Maybe I just dont have the eye to judge these things, but there were a couple of competitors before him that wowed me much more than his run.

White is a showman and I bet he'll pull something crazy on his last run.

Those U.S. Americans are getting medals all over the place now and have a huge lead.

He's also got merchandise to move.


Why do the boarders wear baggy clothes? Every other outdoor sport they wear the space-suits, seems like such a big advantage that no-one is taking.

Aerials/moguls > halfpipe, with the exception of White.

Decent run, but I doubt it'll be enough.

Boarders are too cool for pants that fit or even a belt to hold them up.

No way they wear a luge type suit. lol

I would imagine that those tight luge suits would restrict a lot of flexible mobility.

Wow. The Americans might have just got a sweep with that run.

Edit: Nope.

It seems like one of those sports where fitting into the culture and lifestyle is as important as what you can do. Why else would they be wearing "denim" snowboard pants.

I wonder if Shaun White is going to pull a triple cork for his finale?

Unless the other American pulls out an amazing run, then yeah he has already won.
