Shaun White shreds at Northstar

Say what you want about the flying tomato, but Shaun White rides halfpipe like no other. But then, no other snowboarder would zig-zag the world in a private jet. Oh boy. Here’s a video from his sponsor Burton promoting the Shaun White Collection.

In case you were wondering if Shaun White has what it takes to hold it down in the pipe and the slopestyle arena this year, one look at this video will answer that question. At a spring session last year at Northstar-at-Tahoe, Shaun showed that his bag of tricks works as well going downhill as it does going back and forth in the pipe. The whole private jet thing doesn’t look too shabby either.

Not gonna lie, the footage of Heikki’s surgery made us gag on our coffee – get well soon bud! – but despite the man down Eero’s got quite the bench to call on: a quick shoutout and he, McMorris, Ladley and Teo are ready to rip the doors off the Northstar park.
