It was a Superpipe final for the record books. Classic Winter X weather meant snow was dumping all through the finals. Shaun was on fire for the practice session and brought that heat into the biggest snowboarding contest in the world.
As Shaun dropped into his first run the crowd went wild! With snow flying and Shaun ripping, his run was off the charts. Going huge on his first hit and then rolling into McTwist to frontside 1080 to cab 1080 to frontside 900 to backside 900 then sealing the victory with a huge frontside 1080!
This was one of the biggest victories for Shaun, grabbing gold again and continuing his Winter X domination. The town of Aspen better be ready from some celebration!
What did you guys think was the best part of the run! (Post a Comment!)
Then he finished it with an Alley-Oop McTwist on his last hit. Shaun even stomped a 1260 in his last run of the day. And although his runs were epic, fellow Burton team rider Kevin Pearce ended up taking the win in what was a down to the line battle.
But with that 2nd place finish Shaun was able to take the Overall Burton European Open as a whole clinching the title and a brand new Suzuki car! Not a bad week for Shaun.
From here it is back to the states for the biggest contest of the year...Winter X Games!

Staring off at the top, Shaun 270’d on to 270 off on the box and then rolling into the plastic ¼ pipe for a back lip. From there it was a tailslide to 270 out on the next box and then frontside 900 on the ¼ pipe. As he cruised into the triple line of jump he set up for the combo of the day, going frontside 1080 stalefish to backside 900 mute and sealing the deal with a cab 1080 melon. And that was just his first run!
Starting off with a bang like that put him atop the leader board and as he watched the second run unfold, a victory lap would prove to be his next task. Cruising and boosting Shaun went huge all day and took home the victory to prove it.
