This just in on NBC: "Can Shaun White be the first to pull off the perfect 50? The reigning Olympic halfpipe champ came tantalizingly close with a U.S. Grand Prix-record 49.50 in late January, all while executing the eye-catching (and extremely difficult) new maneuver known as the "Whitesnake." Based on White's dominant Grand Prix run this season (wins at four out of five events) and subsequent victory at the X Games on Jan. 30, the question would appear not to be whether White can win in Vancouver, but rather how much will he win by? The men's halfpipe final on Feb. 17 is as certain a must-see event as there is at the 2010 Games."
The WHITESNAKE?! WTF. A Whitesnake is when David Coverdale nailed Tawny Kitaen on the hood of his Jag. Not some double sow cow toe loop finger flip thing in the pipe. C'mon NBC. This IS a sign of the TV drama to come from the Oh-Limp-Dicks.
STILL OF THE NIGHT was always better anyways.
ReplyDeletestill of the night is fucking good. I agree.
ReplyDeleteI contend that Shaun White seems pretty cool. Little kid style is gone, now he's killinit in unprecedented ways. And, I think he enjoys it. I've seen enough interviews with him to think that him calling it the WHITESNAKE gotsta be tongue in (ugly) cheek: I think some of Tony Hawk has rubbed off on him, where they're fine being kinda dorks. And, I mean it's all coiled up like a snake not a turd and um his name is White.
Shaun White is okay by me. And in the end, isn't that all that matters? I like him.
Jesus Christ. This is the worst comment I've ever made on the e-Nets.
dude "some of Tony Hawk has rubbed off on him?"
ReplyDeletethat reads wrong.
this DoubleMcTwist is fucking HEAVY. izallimsayn.
out with Flying Tomato, in with the the Whitesnake.
ReplyDeletehe'll never live that down.
I am just going to be pissed if some Euro takes the gold. As Johan can attest, Euros grab methods funny.
ReplyDeleteAt least it wasn't the White Lion.
ReplyDeleteWhere I'm from they call call it CulebraBlanca, which sounds way better than say the double cork, or, christ, the Barrett-roll.
