I love this shit [bow_down]
Started watching halfpipe earlier but had to leave and missed Shaun's perfect run. Just saw the highlights! :o
D*mn..they've come a long way since Rhode Island and Crested Butte!
Saw a pretty cool complete flip on a snowmobile today on TV at lunch. It was across the room and I couldn't hear the audio but it was highlight clips on ESPN. They showed some half pipe stuff but was also too far away to read anything on the screen.
The front flip was pretty cool. Landed a bit hard but pulled it out.
The guy that attempted to do a double back flip went in a little slow on the take-off and didn't rotate enough and landed on his nose. He got up for a second then went down again. Looked like he blew his right elbow apart. For the few seconds he stood up it was just hanging there swinging in the breeze. I never did hear all that actually happened to him.

yeah..he was messed up. I missed the damage report too.
Ouch. I hate it when normally attached body parts swing in the breeze. Not good. :P
