A while back we posted up about Redbull Project X. A secret project that gives Shaun White access to his own backyard foam pit, and a 550′ private pipe. It took 2 months 250,000 cubic yards of snow to build the pipe, including 30 heli-bombed avalanches that were needed to bring down enough snow to form it. The foam pit is 20′ x 30′ and has 7200 foam blocks to fill it, giving 600 sqft of foam to stamp a few new tricks.
This is where Shaun has been practicing his new trick, the Tomahawk, which is a double McTwist 1260 (2 flips, three and-a-half twists).
Well for all those that tuned in to the mens Olympic halfpipe final, you would have had the pleasure of seeing this executed in his victory lap.
Check out the video here on the BBC
AMAZING!!!
