Winter X Games Snowboard Superpipe

The Winter X Games just took place over the weekend in Aspen, Colorado. Not everyone watches the X Games, but I really love them, and the Men's Snowboard Superpipe is my favorite event. It's where snowboarders go down a huge halfpipe throwing the most advanced tricks they can. This year Shaun White took home Gold in this event. As a fan of Shaun White, I was really happy with this win. Before and during this year's X Games, there was a lot of gossip surrounding Shaun White; that he might not do well this year. He was eliminated from Slopestyle, which is a downhill terrain park event. In the first of the three final runs in Superpipe, Shaun White was in second. It seemed like the gossip might become fact, but his second run of the Superpipe Finals was a success. He scored a 97.33 out of 100, which ties his own record for the highest score on the event. Some of the judges say that was the best run of his life, and of course it gave him a lock in for first place. This was the fourth year in a row that Shaun White took home Gold for Superpipe in the X Games, a very impressive record to have. During the X Games, ESPN3 had live online video streaming of the X Games, but for anyone who missed it, ESPN posted the video of Shaun White's winnning run.
