Tommorow, it will be xgames best trick skate, and shaaun white will (probably) atempt a 1080. That would be sick. He would own all the other skateboarders by stomping a trick that he does a lot in pipe when snowboarding. Any thoughts?

I would say that skateobarding has more influenced snowboarding(street rails, half pipes) but this time, snowboarding influence more skateboarding because tommorow, the best trick contest will become a spin contest, with shaun as the favorite pic(because of his 1080),which is a snowboarder.

^yea but its different in the sense that no one has done a 10. once it gets played then spin to win is lame. 900s are getting close, but a 10 is a big step.

Tony 9 was sick...but the contest was done, and he insisted to continue to try his 9 and he did it...but not at the right time...yes it was epic, but i wasnt done in the rules.

I really doubt he will be able to pull it off, attempt it maybe, but not get it... Who knows he could prove me wrong...

Well Im sure most of you have seen the attempts he did. He didnt do like Tony and go across the ramp (in the air) at all. He goes like, straight up, spins, and comes straight down. Spin to win IS gay. Sure, it's progression and shit, but it's lame to watch.

Why wouldnt it be? I saw Tony's 9 too, this is the same thing reborn from the ashes.

His snowboarding style comes out sooo much in his skating. The way he spins and pumps the tranny is carbon copy from his snow steeze.

You can really tell shaun is a snowboarder. He goes bigger than everyone and he has way more rotations in his runs. He's not looking too close. The thing with a skateboard is that you HAVE to spin the whole thing. A 1080 is really a 1080. In snowboarding a 1080 is usually about a 900 plus a revert.

So you're saying you'd rather see something that's been done a bunch of times rather than something new?

wow i hate the fuck out of shaun white, i like snowboarding and all, but shaun white is just a big fag, and he is so much more overrated than anyone else. it would suck if he was the first, tony hawk is such a cool dude he it would be so much cooler if he did it, especially since he is like 40 now, that would be so badass.

Uhhh... yeah... Shaun White is hardly overrated. Are you on crack or something? Or do you actually have some valid points to back up your claim?

he landed, rolled away and felll over on the flat.

and he was only 13 at the time...

the x games, he did do like 3 10's or whatever but they all sucked and had no style, the 2nd and 3rd place guys had such different more creative stylie tricks, shaun white just spun the most but they were shitty. i could see him getting 3rd mabye. there are such better snowboarders than him.

Dude, throwing 3 1080's in one run is fucking amazing. You're just applying the thought that "switch 10's are gay" from skiing big air comps. If you thought that any of his spins where ugly, then you don't know style. Plus it's a comp. where he knows what it takes to win, and he did just that. He throws down some creative shit man, just not in that ONE comp. Check out his movie The White Album. He's one of the best out there and at such a young age. No one could beat him in slopestyle or pipe so how can you say that there are "such better snowboarders than him"? Oh I know, because he gets a lot of publicity so he must suck! Nice logic buddy.
