After scoring a 46.8 out of 50 in his first run, Shaun White already had the Gold all but wrapped up...despite not breaking out any of his big moves...
Never fear...despite not having the necessary air to complete such a move...White hit a double McTwist 1260 to send the crowd home happy...that would be a forward rotation of 3 and a half twists with a front flip...unbelivable!
The man who actually hates being called "The Flying Tomato", is right up there with Michael Phelps as the standard of excellence for American Olympians and the scary thing is that he's just getting started...
It must have been that pep talk I gave him......
Back in November, I had the chance to produce an interview segment with Shaun for 1050 ESPN Radio with my good friend, Ray Carsillo...Shaun discusses his newest video game "Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage" for the Nintendo Wii...Yours truly is behind the camera...This is a very chill and candid interview so I encourage you all to check it out!
