Shaun White on 60 minutes..

For those of you who don´t live in the US and aren´t too familiar with Shaun, check this out. Very mainstream, they even mention that he makes over $10,000.000 / year. That oughta get the mainstream looking.

There´s a slam in there that I´ve never seen before and wouldn´t mind not seeing again.
You also get a glimpse of his crib.

There are also some other related links on that site, below the main video.

Did I forget to mention he´ll win the Olympics in about two weeks?

Project X.

Project X might be the best / worst name for this project, or any for that matter. But since most of this world doesn't agree with me I guess it's a very fitting name for the endemic Americans out there who loves Nos energy drinks, Ford Mustangs, Papa Roach, NFL football, Black Flys sunglasses and X-Games.

Watch Shaun invent new pipe tricks at his private Red Bull half pipe. Did anyone say recession?

Double flips:

Since Shaun unveiled his new double flips there are 5-10 people who can do them. I'm assuming they didn't have personal pipes with foam pits. But that's usually how it goes. Someone has to be the first one, then people know it's possible and before you know it it's the norm. Just look at backflips on moto bikes and snowmobiles.

I'm betting my money on Shaun winning the olympics. But since the odds of him winning will be 1 to 1.0000002 I won't bet.
