Shaun White is more talented than any other X-Games Athelet just think about it i would like to see PLG do a 1260 double-Mctwist on a forien snowboard outside of his comfort level where as Shaun does things like 720s on a skateboard and has more style and amplitude than anyother skateboarder. People say oh hes not tech but i would like to see plg keep that sort of speed and those rotations isnt that what made Tony Hawk the best skateboarder ever? So Get off Shawns back!!!!!!!

witch shawn White is this and did they do the same trick?
August 15th, 2010 at 4:56 am
that is sick

wish he didnt pull out of best trick, like most ppl (haters & fangirl/boys) but I understand why he did. He’s really competitive & hates loosing, u could tell by the way he was grinding his teeth @ the judges that he wasnt going to stick around
ppl should look @ it this way, he’s been gone for 1 yr & 1/2, hurt his ankle recently, but was still able to beat every skateboarder except 1 realy good 1, PLG. take it /leave it, its over
but not going to lie, lovin all these passionate debates online

Well deserved three peat! Shaun is great too, but what’s with all the dick riders? Acknowledge other people’s talent for once. Shaun is great, but so is Pierre.
August 15th, 2010 at 6:12 am
@BeeHappya This was also best trick, which Shaun pulled out of.
August 15th, 2010 at 6:31 am
@BeeHappya Only one to do 720s? PLG did them and so did Andy Mac.
August 15th, 2010 at 6:44 am
Shaun should have got gold. All his tricks are 3 feet+ higher than everyone else. He did a trick that no one has ever even done on a skateboard and he was the only one to do 720s. Is vert now a street competition? Xgame judges really suck. I hope skateboarding goes to the olympics so than there is atleast fairer judges. I was very dissapointed.

That “WOW” sounded like mario!
August 15th, 2010 at 7:52 am
Shaun got robbed. Fire the judges. That was fixed.
