Winter X Games 2012: Shaun White On His Perfect Run

[slappytheelephant]

Kevin Pearce would have destroyed that run, just sayin'

[lorenzoilre]

got to admit that that stalefish 540 is fucking stylish

[fingerlessfloyde]

shaun white king in the 21st century

shaun palmer king of the 20th century

long live the king

[andyferly]

@haven12343 i also think shaun white is great but those pants make him look like a fag

[Michao1231]

whaat..dont think that run deserved a 100 score..

[TheGoodstuff69]

i still feel like there's some kind of "conspiracy" with the 100 score. 98 yes. 99 maybe. 99.9 sure, why not. but was NOT perfect. his last hit alone he dragged his hands. good, great, fantastic, but not perfect. If he threw dubs the whole way down, i'd be impressed and if he landed each perfectly, 100 would be an acceptable score.

[VeXorian1337]

@TheGoodstuff69 herp.. he dragged his hand a little omgogmogmgogmgmomg... -.- stfu

[TuckerOlson1]

Too bad hes gay.

[SwissGameplayChannel]

@TuckerOlson1 what?

[markwindsorr]

no one fucks with shaun on the pipe

[SpecialPauLiii]

@haven12343 i see... You aren'nt able to snowboard... because if you did, you would understand me. so, thats it, thats all, if you know what i mean...

[haven12343]

SHAUN WHITE IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST EVER

[ciirulixz]

Soon with ride like that you will have only 90 pts..

[s0c0guinn]

i got a hundred on a math test?

[mjplussmitcamp]

that sound youtube makes now when you vote up a comment really freaks me out.

[TheTubeDweller]

@mjplussmitcamp That sound youtube makes when you vote down a comment is better though ^^

[haven12343]

I SOOOOOOOOOOOO CANT GET OVER THOSE PANTS LOVE THEM

[MrFLICKER801]

@scarrypat4 - ur just jelli cus he could kick ur ass out on that pipe anyday!!!

[SpecialPauLiii]

@haven12343 are you a snowboarder?

[haven12343]

@SpecialPauLiii why do you ask me if im a snowborder wuts it to you

[scarrypat4]

@MAXp0wr to those judges maybe.

[haven12343]

SHAUN WHITE NO MATTER WUT PEOPLE SAY YOU THE BEST EVER

[zachattak86]

@haven12343 Torstein Horgmo, Mark Mcmorris, Travis Rice, Terje, Scott Stevens, Halldor... the list goes on and on, of riders that are as good or better than Shaun. And judges shouldn't ever give out a perfect 100, it means there are no room for improvement, and that had room for improvement.

[haven12343]

@zachattak86 well shaun white really needed that he has been doin this stuff for like ever i have never really seen the other ones 1 lol

[dowysz]

He hasn't gave himself this score that night. Judges did that. White done his work as a sportsmen and he did well. Don't blame him for "perfect run" , just admire snowboarding progression.

[haven12343]

WOOW GO SHAUN WHITE GO GO GO GO

[SpecialPauLiii]

Type this to see some real snowboarders: /watch?v=36ADLojIQc0&feature=f­vst

[haven12343]

@SpecialPauLiii WELL I GUESS IM THERE CAUSE SHAUN WHITES THE BEST

[haven12343]

@SpecialPauLii  SHAUN WHITE IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[haven12343]

YOU THE BEST SHAUN WHITE YOU THE BEST

[sk8ter24655x]

how the hell you dislike that run. It was a 100. nothing to dislike about.

[Pete1987pl]

dudes wearing a leather jacket and zebra pants..respect

[haven12343]

@Pete1987pl LOVE THOSE PANTS SOOOOOOOOO MUCH HOPE THAT COMES IN STYLE

[haven12343]

@Pete1987pl I NO RIGHT BUT ONE THING THERE ZEDA THATS ZEBRA AND CHEATEA

[MisterClaks]

travis rice, hallador helgason, jed anderson, joe sexton, LNP, scott stevens, mark goodall

[haven12343]

CANT GET OVER THOSE PANTS LOVE THEM =)

[haven12343]

LOVE THEM PANTS DONT TALK TRASH

[dominoxheartsyouxnot]

Leave Shaun alone! I met him last night and he's a really nice person, he did super well on this run, stop hating!!

[haven12343]

@dominoxheartsyouxnot that is sooo cool did you really

[dominoxheartsyouxnot]

@haven12343 yeah! I took a pic with him! he's really nice. too bad I didn't know he got a perfect score before I met him or I would have told him congrats dude!

[josproskater]

them pants!

[benfh10]

!00 = the perfect score, that means nothing is better, never.

but that means you can do a hand-drag, and not lose a single point, something is not right.

Im not saying this is a bad run, because Shaun deserved the win, and the run was awesome, but it was not "the perfect run", but shaun is still the best!

[MegaTobbi]

@benfh10 My point exatcly too!

[MAXp0wr]

@benfh10 But the run wasn't rated as perfect 'forever'. It was rated 100 for x games 2012.

A 97 in 2012 isn't going to be the same as a 97 in a few years.. it's all relative.

[odinmanda]

I've done something similar... but that was nobody filming it.

[44Darkenpurple44]

shauns gay and he likes men

[xAJxUNITED]

@44Darkenpurple44 Your a fag who has no friends! Shaun is amazing and your a hating douche bag(:

[skateboy9971]

@xAJxUNITED true story

[haven12343]

@xAJxUNITED SHAUN IS AMAZING WORDS DONT EVEN EXPLAIN HOW GOOD HE IS

[haven12343]

@44Darkenpurple44 SHAUN WHITE IS NOT GAY WHY DOES EVERYBODY SAY THAT JUST BECAUSE HE HAS LONG HAIR

[torgrimm]

good for shaun white to get the 100!, but didnt he tilt his hand in the snow on he's frontside doublecork 1260?

[scarrypat4]

theres no such things as a "perfect run" you cant draw a line in the sand saying this is it you cant do any better because riding is always changing. shaun is unreal at what he does in the pipe, but thats not what riding is all about. props to shaun for going big and doing what he does but i mean come on.

[SpotEdit]

@scarrypat4 Your so right, snowboard is an art form and perfection is in the eye of the beholder.

[MAXp0wr]

@scarrypat4 So it can't be a perfect run for 2012? Maybe they should take all the scores back because they definitely won't be relevant in a few years.

[hayashiyuuzen]

@scarrypat4 lol.. think of it this way... in this era or year that is the perfect run... next year... he won't be geting 100's for that... just like dunk, figure skating, diving, etc... someone will come in break all the barriers and get a perfect score... but what you have to do to keep toping the last run... that's what makes these sports amazing to watch!

[DownSnipingHD]

LOOK AT THE PANTS!

[RaZe971]

@jagasfan do u see rice or hag in slope, pipe, or rails anymore? No u don't

[DCSk8er28]

Lol he now he can just do the same run every contest and get 100 XP

[bamh349]

Judged events suck when you see top scores GIFTED because guy has big CORPORATE connections. Much prefer races like snowboardcross where its full-on honest win.

[NumberOneCollegeFan]

That's it, perfection has been found. No need to progress the sport anymore folks. Just do that run and you are perfect!

[remingtonrafael]

i love how everyone hates on someone who is good at what he does!!! thats like hating on shaq cause he cant shoot 3 pointers from the outside but he gets all the attention. there are different riders for different reasons... lets all tell allen iverson to go play center... u have to dedicate alot of time to be good at one thing... and who wouldnt want to make money doing tricks on a halfpipe and being good at it... did everyone forget what it takes to be a champion? thanks to all snowboarders!

[Evenxable]

Is he wearing tights?

[SteezyNugget]

what animal is in your pants...

[Commando686]

shaun cmon gay pants

[AsiansHaveTinyPeePee]

Sooooo... Shaun... How bout them rails *

[snowboarder12384]

@JohaTunRug He couldn't earn money if he sucked ass!...he earned where he is now

[sam29724]

i can do that, hold my beer.

[JohaTunRug]

All Shaun White cares about is earning money....

[haven12343]

@JohaTunRug THAT IS SOOOOOOO NOT TRUE AND HOW WOULD YOU KNOW YOU DNT EVEN NOW HIM

[TeHBurgeRWalruS2]

The top comment is a little harsh but saddly i agree 100% shaun has become extremely one dimensional.... they guy can't even qualify for anything but pipe anymore. I'm not saying he isnt a good rider, im just saying id much rather watch riders like Halldor Helgason/Torstein Hogrmo/Mark McMorris/Andreas Wigg/Travis Rice.. etc Check those guys out if you want to see the sport being pushed forward

[mr0maar]

@TeHBurgeRWalruS2 agreed, helgason is climbing fast and horgmo and mcmorris are at the top of the game right now in my opinion.

[number1dode]

@TeHBurgeRWalruS2

man if u dont like his style or the fact that he made his career on his own then i must say stop being jealous

[haven12343]

@number1dode I NO RIGHT WHY ARE PEOPLE SO JEALOUS I DONT GET IT BE HAPPY FOR HIM HE WORKED HARD FOR IT

[Teethgrillin]

just realized something...didn't lil wayne wear those pants at some show or something?

[Rastasskate2]

cheetah+zebra=cheebah

[TheJanrcart4]

The jealousy on here is ridiculous

[Jasafar]

I have to agree @ejbiggie. One day Sean White will be beaten, he's great to watch but def not the best all-encompassing snowboarder. Real snowboarding is done on the big mountain and if you've ever seen First Descent you will see how much Sean has to learn. Just watch videos from Haakonsen or Rice, the 2 best big mtn snowboarders that ever lived.

[haven12343]

@Jasafar WELL FIRST OF ALL HIS NAME IS SHAUN NOT SEAN DUH

[alebeast5]

i buy his gum all the time they grat

[TheJanrcart4]

@alebeast5 LOL

[haven12343]

@alebeast5 I BUY IS GUM ALL THE TIME THATS ALL I EAT

[TheRelentless56]

A rider that doesn't always compete is a rider who really likes the sport and who enjoys pushing the limits of the sport. Im not saying shaun isnt good. im sayin dedicating all your time to be the best isnt always the cool thing to do.. thats why my fav snoawboarder is TRAVIS RICE... respect him 1000%

[LucasBenge]

there should be a seperate medal for PERFECT. MAKE IT PLATINUM

[FreshPS3Gaming]

very impressive run but was not perfect...

[TBDamage77]

i can do that, hold my beer.

[ridingwitstyle]

@TBDamage77 lol

[TBDamage77]

I can do that, hold my beer.

[jatanking]

@ejbiggie just cause he's the best there is at the half-pipe doesn't mean he's a bad boarder. I know he can beat almost anyone in a downhill run he's just to good in the air to quit.

[TheMtbrider12]

cheebra pants!!!!!

[jamonit441]

@TheMtbrider12 i like it

[nestea848]

shaun, do it like antti autti and go just into the mountains, freeriding is still better

but well, nice, nice run of course! but now go off course^^

[yz85kid243]

he's not the fucking best there is, lets see him up in the mountains where REAL snowboarding happens. im tired of everything saying he's the best and getting 'perfect' scores. the judges favored him anyway so it wasn't even fair to the rest of the competition. fuck you Shaun you're ruining the sport of snowboarding.

[steigermateriaal]

@yz85kid243 REally bro? fuck man, shaun is crazy in backcountry aswell, maybe you haven't seen that the last few years but really he had a whole web episode series shooting pow in japan. He's just crazy talented being able to get 1st places in skating and snowboarding and his style is way more core snowboarding rebelisim,

You should be proud bro not hating

[haven12343]

@yz85kid243 NO HE AIN YOU JUST A SHUAN WHITE HATER LOSER

[bamh349]

PERFECTION??? Too bad, judges didn't honor the sport with honest scoring. Reason many dislike judged events. Give me Snowboarder X + Skier X for good honest head-to-head competition!

[mtbfreeridemadness]

come on guys he is one of the best snowboarders of all time! don't hate or judge him because he had the perfect score on a half pipe. indeed snowboard is at the mountains but we are not on the fucking mountains right now so shut the fuck up and enjoy the spectacle

[boobaliz]

Ah ah i know how u feel guys.

But come on ... he is one of the best ;)

just stop hating and go riding

[xXTurdSandwitchXx]

Perfect score? I saw handchecks and other flaws, this guy is great but hes being propped up for marketing value.

[quikboarder93]

@xXTurdSandwitchXx Not saying I disagree because it wouldn't surprise me if his score was marked up for marketing value, but the hand drag at the end is at least debatable. It looks like it could just be an illusion from the camera angle and that his hand was just low for balance, but not quite touching the snow

[KnowGoodUnd]

Shaun White has a double..

[insanegman]

Cheetah AND Zebra?!?

[dacrd]

2 of the ugliest guys in all of sports

[tennflip]

chfbrhm jctjc!!!!!!!

[SpecialPauLiii]

who the hell are tose 55 retards who did not like?

[dr00andrew]

@SpecialPauLiii i disliked this because snowboarding is not about spinning it to win it. Its about being creative riding fresh snow and being out in the backcountry

[YungFrawzzst]

If you like Shaun White then you probably don't understand what snowboarding is really about (it's not all about winning). Wanna see progressive? Go watch Scott Stevens, Scotty Lago and Scotty Vine... lol scottttyyyyyyyy

[MRzJaii]

how do you record this dude?

[skoolfolife]

he doesnt deserve it

[Applehead9000]

50 haters can't snowboard! ):P

[Applehead9000]

Wow! Go Shawn White!!!!!

[classicnikee]

god has red hair who new

[ejbiggie]

yeah sick run shaun you got perfect now you can get out of the half pipe and into the mountains where real snowboarding is and start pushing the limits of the sport itself instead of this spin to win shit

[THEra1DEN]

@ejbiggie you need to spin to win to progress the sport.. so i guess that's what you need to do though

[FLEXskateboard]

@ejbiggie how bout you hop off his weiner and go push the limits your self.

[decadentworld666]

@ejbiggie What? Eat a bowl of dicks.

[indiemuppet]

@ejbiggie Of course, because he's never ridden the mountains before... watch First Descent, or learn a bit more about the guy.

[hendelse]

@ejbiggie radical, dude. right on

[rooshhi]

@ejbiggie you should watch the movie First Descent

[n8ertotz]

@LongboardSteeze lol. tell that to his x-games championships, olympic gold medals, and his perfect score. It's fine that you have that opinion of him and all, but just because he gets attention from media doesnt make him a worse snowboarder? He's is by far the best in the world and has been for a while, don't try and take that from him when he has clearly deserved it. and when you can do what he doesn on the super pipe, then you can say he isn't as good as someone else....

[dr00andrew]

@n8ertotz scotty lago hands down is better than shaun white in pipe that run was far from perfect and the judges suck shaun whites dick with scoring and everyone knows that

[PBstx1100]

@dr00andrew dude you are so fuckin right. Scottys style is so much better and travis rice is a lot better then then theses little half pipe jockeys that are in the spot light 24 7. shaun white is good but believe it or not people there are better boarders out there they just don't live off of fame

[dr00andrew]

@PBstx1100 shaun white aint got shit on travis rice. and scotty still gave shaun white a run for his money last year with his jaw wired shut 3 weeks after his accident and he still came to xgames got a gold and silver. Lets not forget if he fell on his face he was fucked

[PBstx1100]

@dr00andrew yea and lets not forget that Scotty broke his jaw filming the most amazing film out right now doing some crazy shit in the back country hahaha

[dr00andrew]

@PBstx1100 hell yeah dude and he was in jackson hole, my favorite place in the world and he was riding real snow

[PBstx1100]

@dr00andrew well i am glad to see at least one person has a good head on their shoulders in here.

[tysonstl]

I liked Shaun White until the tight clothes. Shallow I know, but true. Then he goes and wears the Zebra, now I know he's a fag. Then he gets the undeserved score, so I sent hate mail and Viagra ads to his email account. He didn't care. Why? Because Gingers have no soul.

[tysonstl]

@haven12343 He thought he had a soul, but come to find out, it was just gas.

[haven12343]

@tysonstl THAT IS SOOOOOOOO NOT TRUE AND YOU DONT EVEN KNOE HIM SO WHY SO HARSH

[birdiebird97]

Idk y but i think hes hot :)

[jesmontb]

@StimPakTskAwwYea kobe is still the best, and so is shaun, reason why he scored a 100 and nobody was above 95....

[ADFPATTON]

ALL HATE TOWARDS SHAUN WHITE ASIDE, THAT RUN WASN'T PERFECT, HE PUT HIS HANDS DOWN ON THE LANDING OF THE LAST HIT, SORRY.

[MrDrumminfox]

@ADFPATTON Yeah it was. If I am not mistaken, the score reads 100. Last time I checked 100 is perfect. You're welcome.

[kaykan0]

two words= miracle pants

[sk8erdecq2007]

hello people would be very good that one day the X GAMES agan in Argentina ..... please thanks ... greetings

[sk8erdecq2007]

X GAMES EN ARGENTINA PLIS

[zitronanka]

In my opinion i think its a bit hard to beat 100..

[ANeonTiger]

"I really earned the pants tonight" LOL

[mimi4sure]

When Shaun talks about his runs it sounds like he's placing an order at McDonalds! LOL

[mimi4sure]

Hahahahahahhhaaaaahahaha at the hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­attttttttttttteeeeeeeeeeeeeerr­rrrrrrrrrrrrssssssssssss!!!! Shaun White is a board beast and best at this sport! Face it he's the Michael Jordan of snowboarding!!! #LORDOFBOARDS BYTCHESSSS!!!!!!

[sperdoch]

Most overrated scored ever. A 100 means you threw a perfect run... there were two wall hits he could have done much more... Travis Pastrana throws the first ever double backflip PERFECTLY two years ago and even he didn't get a 100, such a joke

[RCPWEBSERVICES]

who gives a fuck which riders get more fame and glory?

snowboarding is all about having fun anyways ...who cares if the guy next to you is getting more attention...even if you MIGHT be better than him....just sayin....

[Fogo4Life]

@Keathius Im sorry but @LongboardSteeze is right, me is overrated, but not in the Superpipe X Games sense. I used to be on the Shaun White train before I found snowboarders like Travis Rice (watch his That's It That's All and Art of Flight parts), Halldor Helgason, JP Walker, Scott Stevens.... Shaun White is the best Superpipe rider and there's not doubt about it, but he is not and will never be the best snowboarder. He doesn't overall preform on a level above everyone else, he only does pipe.

[ER1CxF]

look at his run, nobody is as good as him. ive never seen something like that, who cares if he sold out.. anybody would for money

[thomasbernie240]

shaun white is without doubt the best in snowboarding 12 gold medals 3 sliver and 2 bronze in 11 years plus won the last two winter olympics plus 2 gold in summer vert 2 silver and a bronze. Stop being internet haters and what makes him a sell out i bet know one can give a correct answer to that???

[snowboardrealms]

@thomasbernie240 stride gum

[ChaseandGavin]

I think the judges favor him that was not all that great

[AmazingSuperStar1]

why are people bashin Shaun? you can't say shit about him because he's still the best there is

[ItsBagley]

@LongboardSteeze Shaun is the best snowboarder out there hes not over-rated or a sell-out. He's probably the best snowboarder of all time so stfu
