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?

can't even think about trying a 1080 on a skateboard. a 360 is tough to keep ur balance with

im saying doing 3 tricks in a row is stupid, i dont think he should have won because thats like all he did, and they had such shitty style compared to the other guys. and people like travis rice, simon chamberlain, danny kass, in my opinion they are better, or atleast have much better style, and hardly any of them get recognised. the one thing thats impressive is how young he is, its pretty amazing to do that well when your only 19 but still that dosent make him better.

Style is all a matter of preference, that's all on that matter. You may not like his style, but there are many out there that do. His 1080s where not all the same either. Did you know that only 3 people in skiing, as of a short time ago, can throw a switch unnatural 1080? Yeah it's that fucking hard. I don't remember if he threw it in that line of 10's, but it shows you that it's definitly not the same trick at all. All his 1080's where different and that's pretty damned amazing.

There are way more than 3 people who can do switch unnat 1080s, I saw at least 5 different people do them at Breck this year.
