Shaun White gets Overall in Salt Lake City
Shaun won the first three Dew Tour events in 2007 and it took a French Canadian to knock him down
Shaun’s first run was pretty insane. He makes 720’s look easy, so easy that he blasted out of the 7 right into a sketchy ass lipslide up the extension then into a 540 or some shit – insane. Shaun also did back to back 5’s which is common in snowboarding but much harder in skateboarding. After round one, Shaun was on top. Bucky’s second run topped Shaun’s first. Bucky does nit and twist as much as Shaun but Bucky’s top run has a little more variety than Shauns; Nollie Heel 360, boned out front 5’s, better use of the ramp and other trick put Bucky on top after round two. Shaun fell on his last two runs.
Even though PLG won the battle Shaun won the war. With 363 points Shaun does not even have to show for the final stop to take the overall Dew Tour title. PLG (in second) has 262 points and if he wins in Orlando he gets 100 points – 1 point shy of Shaun’s 363.
I told Bucky, Bob and the other vert dudes; I bet Shaun is a no show in Orlando. Either way Salt Lakes vert event was sick!
Results:

Shaun White throws varial heel flip indys on vert like a kickflip on the sidewalk. Look at this shit, seriously, he is not even looking at his board as he catches it and still has to reel it in from that tweaked out position – sick
