[@iTzSnowtime]

wow great video quality from so far away and you followed him perfectly!! ive never seen videos like this on youtube where a spectator at an event catches such great footage!! shawn white's amazing!!

[@Candi5150]

......total grace!

[@mtrichardt]

Ha ha thanx man! I waited all morning to see his run, I was nearly late for work!
I must say it was quite a challenge to keep so still, my hand was cramping!

[@mtrichardt]

My prayers go out to Kevin Pearce and his family!!
I do agree with you BUT if you hate Shaun so much don't watch videos of him, it's that simple!!

[@mtrichardt]

Glad you all enjoy the video! For those interested in the camera that I use its a Panasonic SDR-H40P and it has a 42x optical zoom, I love it!

[@Racingmix]

Pretty impressive for the original distance you're standing from (binoculars are needed). The zoom is stable for its zoom, too.

[@nizarn1337]

I actually at first though that you stood on top of the halfpipe^^ was really suprised when you zoomed back:) great shooting!

[@Iceickled712]

I was just thinking the same thing ribeatinglover542. When it zoomed out I was like...damn. Anyway Shaun just nails it.

[@cjtownjc]

ok thanks. i haven't been able to follow the olympics as closely as i want. i heard his gold medal run was good though.

@lollerblader1
Keep on hating, people like you are a big part of why he is doing so well :) it only motivates him more.

[@wallmunky503]

True, but vito doesn't get as much amplitude as shaun does, which is a huge factor in the scoring to the judges.

[@mtrichardt]

1. Shaun White, Carlsbad, CA, 49.50
2. Louie Vito, Sandy, UT, 48.60
3. Greg Bretz, Mammoth Lakes, CA, 45.70

[@fratface123]

some times i wander why people even bother entering olympic snow bording if their up against saun white!

[@mtrichardt]

I'm not really a fan of nicknames but if I had to choose between those two it would be "Mr.Blanco"

[@MegaVince09]

Did we agree on a nickname for him? Was it "Mr. Blanco" or "The flying tomato?

[@tattoomastering]
