What a scam this guy has going. This guy is the only star in his whole sport. He gets handed the gold in events he is in because of his name. All he has to do is put together a run where he doesn't fall, completes his tricks, and he wins. He is good, but last night the guy below him had a better run.

I hate arbitrary sports like this one. Even the announcer said that White did not deserve it last night. They said that he does not even practice much because he is doing endorsement stuff and living like a rockstar. Had like 3 runs to warm up and then just went out there and competed. Pretty sweet deal this guy has going on. He's gotta be close to pushing 8 figures a year with endorsements, clothing line, and whatever else he has going on.

Anyone know if they had any lines for this thing last night?

Didn't watch this particular event but this guy rips. And his skateboarding skills are unbelievable also. Talented bastard.

I don't think books deal this kind of events.

Didn't they create some of these sports in the Olympics, and he didn't even get a medal?

Ya he won a gold in Torino in the halfpipe. He is talented no doubt, but he get handed wins too many times because of his name. When White wins it is good for the sport, what is good for the sport = more money.

He will be Michael Phelps of the winter Olympics in 2010 and we will be subjected to months of commercials of him after wards.
