Watch highlights of Shaun White, Louie Vito, Taku Hiraoka and more competing in snowboard superpipe at the 2012 Winter Dew Tour in Breckenridge, Colorado.
With past years in the back of everyone’s minds, Shaun White was a favorite to come in and take home another Dew Cup to add to his collection. However, as we saw in semi-final, White is human and occasionally slips an edge, and with the stiff competition this event was truly up for grabs.
In the end, White’s first run held him high above the competition and carried him to the top of the podium. White’s double mctwist 1260, or tomahawk as White prefers to reference it, was truly the trick that set his run apart from the rest, as he was the only one in the lineup with it in his arsenal.
