If you can throw down crazy with steez I’m on your side.
Like I had forewarned in my article about Project X, Shaun White is too far ahead of the rest of the pack. Yesterday he took first place in the qualifiers at Copper in Colorado, and closest on his heels was Louie Vito also pulling off back to back doubles.
Turns out that you must blast “Tiny Dancer” by Elton John (Louie Vito) or “Mother” by Danzig (Shaun White) while throwing gnarly aerials in the pipe to be considered an Olympic candidate.

We have to consider if this double corking around is truly progressive riding. I haven’t decided if I’m one hundred percent about ‘em, but if you can throw down crazy with steez I’m on your side.
What do you think of these back to back doubles, my snowboarder amigo?
