The guy was so fuckkn dominant in snowboarding and it wasn’t just half pipe. What ever he focused on he was usually the best and having victory runs against people like Travis rice or Danny Kass.
The fact that now, just a decade later, this run doesn't even come close to what a 100 rating score run would be today…. it's mind blowing!! Lots of progress. Pretty sure that in a few years we'll see bs-to-bs TripleCorks, or at least 2/3 Triples per run! Anyway, that Fs5 Stalefish is pure GOLD...not a hard trick, but the height and style make it for me an iconic trick.
@@urbanlegendsandtrivia2023 True, but it’s not a matter of material here… A todays Rider, can do triples even with 20y old equipment! It’s more the fact that tricks have evolved and limits were pushed behind.. Trust me!
I remember playing Sean white snowboarding game for 100s of hours and the soundtrack for it was immaculate and the gameplay and mechanics were PERFECT. It felt like an open world version of SSX and I still wish I could relive that again to this day. Steep was great but the UI and menus and traveling just felt so disorganized to me I couldn’t ever stay into the game for longer than a month at a time
I remember shaun talking about the double mc twist in an interview on how he basically forced the trick with barely any speed but still landed it. An old friend and rival of his, kevin pearce suffered a tbi from trying it and smashing down head first after over rotating the trick on december 31st, 2009.
Ayumu Hirano hands down beat him in several comps that he shouldn't have won. Glad Ayumu took the torch that he deserved. Shaun has done a lot for the sport though.
Y’all gotta watch The Crash Reel about Kevin Pearce. This guy was the goat over Shaun but had a HUGE accident making Shaun instantly the best. It’s an amazing documentary if you love snowboarding
I still could never understand that ridiculously wide stance. It's just dumb. And this 100% should not have been a 100. His double cork he wasn't fully rotated. And he dragged a hand on a landing. Not a 100 at all. Just the judges giving it to him because it was him.
Thank you for making the thumbnail the moment he put his hand down on the halfpipe wall. It sucked, it was a great run. But perfect 100? X-Games just needed a posterboy
This wasn’t a 100 back then and is a far cry from a 90 today. Hand draggin and lack of tweak n’ creak on the first hit is all I need to see. Was and always will be an over rated run. Also, -10 pts on steez for stance and pants. FOH. Period.
Not a true 100 if he touched his hands. Watch travis pastranas double backflip NOT get a 100 then understand how perfect landings matter. He won, but it wasnt 100
Poor representative of snowboarding. Corporate sellout seeing some favoritism from the judging booth. This guy now takes tons of money from wealthy individuals just to ride around with them at Jackson.
How was this a thing? I see this being exciting for one person.... The person doing it... Watching it, (as extreme and hard as it is) was boring and stupid.
He dragged his hands at the end he shouldn’t have gotten a 100 this was absolutely disgusting and uncalled for professional snowboarders can understand
The thing is, they’re really not. It would be tough for this pipe run to replicated today. This was peak half pipe popularity and the levels haven’t been pushed as much as in park or backcountry.
Has the sport to this day even been pushed any further than what it was in this run right here? Like have the tricks gotten any more radical or anything
🐐
Ya he prolly the goat
That’s all you have to say to explain the different kind of species Shawn white is 🐐🐐
I mean its obviously a great run, but he did kind of almost have to put his hands down on that last landing. 98
@@samsplaying 99
Remember watching this, he was getting 40% more air than anybody that night. Little monster

Do better math.
Same here it was something else
This is how people imagine you snowboarding when you tell them it's your favourite sport.
I hope it's not weird but do you live at a high altitude where snow is more constant?
he dragged his hands so it shouldn’t have been a 100 but still the 🐐
hand drag was on purpose you just lack the steeze to realize this
Deffo a dab not style
@@jxkecxrty woosh
I don't even know if he actually touched the ground but he certainly went to atleast 🤔
Nah he just put a signature down on the snow
Sean White was the push that action sports needed at the time. Truly became a household name❤

Half pipe will be dead in 10 years
Wasn’t even a 100 score run, never believed it, there’s a whole hand drag

welcome to every competitive sport of all time
@Tom sellout it was a ceremonial 100. That last trick was just pure style anyways, looked so effortless that the hand drag even looked on purpose.
Def gave it to him as a send off. Wasn't a 100 but still great
Send off to where?
Outer space bro 🌟 🌙 🌚
@Alpacalips Profit to retirement bro, they all knew that this was the last time he would be gold winner in xgames.
I specifically remember this nostalgic moment . Watching him was incredible and he continued to dominate on this rise ....

Life can be daunting because Kevin was at his level sometimes more and same with danny davis before his accident . Life could have been different
He never used to win very often, coming second to white, saw his doco he made about his crash (Kevin)
I met Kevin at the opening of his documentary. He was really chill, but I’m pretty sure him and Mr. White were done being friends.
What does tbi stand for?
@@RideBikes_Walkplaces traumatic brain injury
A really dark moment in snowboard history! 🤢🤮
Those are the worst snow pants ive ever seen💀😂
His hands kept touching. Perfect scores shouldn't ever be hit.
So glad I was able to witness this legendary run as it happened live. The excitement from my dad & I probably woke up the neighbors.
Ayumu Hirano hands down beat him in several comps that he shouldn't have won. Glad Ayumu took the torch that he deserved. Shaun has done a lot for the sport though.
I dont even know snowboarding like that but I know raw talent when I see it. 🔥
How ayumu hirano’s runs at the Olympics weren’t perfect 100’s was bs
Dude was basically like "mhm how else can I tie my shoes"
What do you mean?
@@carstenb23 the double mctwist knot
Shouldn't have been 100.
The only male snowboarder to ever score a perfect 100 in halfpipe for xgames as far as i am aware.
Nowadays this would probably get you like 70
Yeah but. 100. Thats cmon man. 100 is perfect no hand touching. I get what they meant but this aint 100
@@dewmontain123 agreed
Dude stole my gf in highschool, not kidding
how is that a perfect 100 with the hand touching on the last trick? 😳
Those Rock Star pants 💪
😄

Shows no progression if get scored 100 daft, but good run just not 100.
I'm still holding his beer til this day.
So nice you gotta watch it twice 🥲
Being a soulless ginger has its benefits
This would not take 100 today !!!
Not with the level some of these guys are on
The Chinese guy that won last year Olympics didn't even get 100 and his run was insaneeeeee!!
100 should never be scored. There is always room for improvement
Technically that sounds right 👌
The progression has been crazy since then.
Not really. Who could lay down that line today?
@@stevefrink4842 lots of people today could. The first ever 2160 was just landed recently. That thought didn’t even exhaust back then
Shaun’s runs stayed competitive for a full decade! He upped that bar more than any person ever will
@Steve Frink this run wouldn't even make top 10 nowadays. Shaun is the goat though. He pushed the limit which allowed the progression we see today.
This would be like a 84-86 Score now.
I remember him doing this and he boot grabbed on a lot of his corks, it wasn’t a true 100 but still was a solid run
I give that run a 99.9, taking away 0.1 for the hand drag at the end. Gonna round it up to 100 though.
Watching him come up definitely was “must watch” events. X-Games and Olympics…amazing what the dude accomplished
Y’all gotta watch The Crash Reel about Kevin Pearce. This guy was the goat over Shaun but had a HUGE accident making Shaun instantly the best. It’s an amazing documentary if you love snowboarding

In 2023 that would be a 60 lol
This wasn’t a 100 back then and is a far cry from a 90 today. Hand draggin and lack of tweak n’ creak on the first hit is all I need to see.
Was and always will be an over rated run.
Also, -10 pts on steez for stance and pants.
FOH. Period.
Not a true 100 if he touched his hands. Watch travis pastranas double backflip NOT get a 100 then understand how perfect landings matter. He won, but it wasnt 100
Poor representative of snowboarding. Corporate sellout seeing some favoritism from the judging booth. This guy now takes tons of money from wealthy individuals just to ride around with them at Jackson.
How does he generate so much speed and air? Also wondering why we don’t see tricks like this in vert skating half the size of that snowboard 🤷🏻♂️
Y el del sk8
How was this a thing?
I see this being exciting for one person.... The person doing it... Watching it, (as extreme and hard as it is) was boring and stupid.
The game's in Italy he earned the nickname to the Flying Tomato LOL I love it.
How can one score a 100 when there were no switch tricks in said run? I’ll take Ayumu Hirano over Shaun White every time
I remember these days. I remember hating this guy for his goofy red hair, and the fact that he was younger than me. I still don't like him. Oh well.
Imagine a world where a hand drag still earns you perfect point. 🫠
i hated Shaun white when I was younger. but that was just jealousy because I couldnt snowboard as good as him. and I never got a video game.
Sick run, but he touched hands down on a landing. Shouldn’t have been a 100. Prob a 99.
a perfect score shouldn't exist in something like this😊
He dragged his hands at the end he shouldn’t have gotten a 100 this was absolutely disgusting and uncalled for professional snowboarders can understand
Amplitude was his thing, if you remember how much higher his airs were. Triple cork who cares. If its not high its a low score
Shawn ever brought up in greatest athlete talks? With the likes of Bo and Deion. Shawn took over a couple sports too
Man we where so lucky to be alive while this went down xgames ain't never been the same its bout half garbage now IMO 😕
It's like skateboarding but less convenient geographically.
I’m still baffled by the fact that it was a perfect run, with a few wobbles and a hand touch, was a solid run but not a 100 imo
It was a good run. But not 100. Its impossible to get a 100. 99 98 yeah sure but 100. No.
So many better riders with better personalities, that run was not a 100 score run. Judges were on something with that
100 is still blasphemy in judged sports. Kinda shows it's all hype. He was the best tho
Nowadays 14 year olds in the Xgames and Olympics are doing this in average runs lol crazy how far the sport has progressed
The thing is, they’re really not. It would be tough for this pipe run to replicated today. This was peak half pipe popularity and the levels haven’t been pushed as much as in park or backcountry.
I was there! It was my first winter x while visiting family. It was crazy!
Imagine being the best at something that only like 10 people in the world care about and one of them is your mom
Has the sport to this day even been pushed any further than what it was in this run right here? Like have the tricks gotten any more radical or anything
Yeah it wasn’t perfect lol but like everyone says he’s the GOAT
The cameras has stopped the excitement.
Just roll from the bottom with zoom, bro.
I don't know how he can spin and do those grabs in pants that tight... I'm surprised they don't burst at the seams
It was at this point I lost all respect for X games, scored 100% when there was a clear error, no matter how small, it was still an error.
I also like snowboarding back then🎉
The abominable snowman. Charlene Stewart Solomon ( Loves him !)
The score literally does not matter. No one should ever get a 100 this was all for ratings.
Sure he's on a snowboard but man worst style in the game , rides like a skier or something.
That second to last hit was one of the most unique insane things ive ever seen in a contest. Still holds up. Unreal
Look at that huge crowd.. you’d be surprised to see half that today.
I thought if you planted your hands even for a split second that it detracts points?
This perfect 100 run didn’t help in the Winter Olympics
He’s from Ashland Oregon, my home mountain!
All it took was a deal with Target to really get his career off the ground....
really hard for me to cheer for shaun after the kevin pearce doc. dude's a punk
Is’t he the dude from that old snowboarding pc game ?
Grabs boot on 3 of his tricks, should have gotten a 76.
His stance looks crazy wide. Maybe it’s the pants
This reminds me of the donkey kong map on the wii the end looks identical to this
God he always just went so much higher than everyone else
Shaun used to look like carrot top, but then carrot top got buffed
Best move was the one he didn't spin, big airs no spin equals win
I was there. It's funny that that run wouldn't even medal now
Perfect 100 put put his hand down on the last wall
Soo that's the best snowboarding can get?? Perfect 100. Ok boys pack it up it's over
That run doesn’t even make podium in todays pipe.
This would be like a 75.00 nowadays
Talk about judge bias. Dude boot grabs and hand drags.
Boot grabs and hand drags 🤣🤣 biggest joke ever
No such things as a perfect score ~ Dave Portonoy
Me muero de risa cuando el gordo amenaza de muerte jajaja
Ayumu Hirano is the best.. hands down.

Haters gonna hate
What you do? Type some chit
Close enough to 100. They just rounded up .10
Is it me, or does it look like he’s riding a longer board??
