So we had probably the best park day that Wisp Resort has seen in the last 4 years on Sunday. The snow was soft, the lips and jumps were perfect, and the goodtimes were plentiful. Everyone got their shots for the day, and with Josh...lets just say that there were plenty of shots to go round. So here's a little sneak peak, 20 Seconds At Wisp With Josh Zerkel...

Shaun White was featured on 60 Minutes and showed off the private superpipe he uses to train. Built for him by Red bull, and carved into the ice in a remote location, it's accessible only by helicopter. Nice.

So while we're out here in Denver putting in work, Josh is hard at work laying it down in Morgantown. New footy from Josh bringing the trials and tribulations of an Olympic hopeful home to the Morgantown Crew. Looks sick Josh!

So apparently Todd has a new show coming out on mtv...Check it out


Enjoy!



   This last weekend marked the final Grand Prix to determine who was going to the Olympics for men's and women's Half Pipe. The battles were fierce but in the end it played out much the same was it has throughout the Grand Prix series. Shaun White stomped unstoppable runs, Scotty Lago boosted huge methods and landed clean runs to finish in the second spot, and the duels of Luke Mitrani, JJ Thomas, and Gregory Bretz heated up for the third spot. In the end the three men's spots were already secured to Shaun White, Scotty Lago, and Louie Vito going into the final day Saturday night, and the battle for the fourth and final spot was where the action really was. That announcement should come later on today since Luke Mitrani, JJ Thomas, and Gregory Bretz are all locked in a three way tie, and the Olympic coaches need to select the best option.

   On the women's side the team will look as it has with returning 2002 Gold Medalist Kelly Clark capturing the top spot, returning 2006 Silver Medalist Gretchen Bleile, and 2006 Gold Medalist Hannah Teter securing the third spot. The women's fourth spot should also be determined later today along with the men.

With the X-Games and Olympics right around the corner, Shaun White put a little video together to show off his "newest" trick. He has been consistently pulling off the Double Cork 10, and the Cab Double Cork 10 making 2 out of the 4 Hammers in the pipe. The two tricks that have been alluding him have been the final two; the Double Cork McTwist 12, and the Double Cork Rodeo. Up until a month ago nobody was able to pull off more than two in a competition, but when Danny Davis threw down both of those plus the Double Cork Rodeo at the Grand Prix in Mammoth, it looked like someone was going to give Shaun a run for his money. Then two weeks ago we all started receiving phone calls and texts from our friends at Park City, saying that Shaun had just landed the Double Cork McTwist 12. Soon there after Danny Davis had his unfortunate accident on an atv in Utah, breaking his back and needing surgery, and thus ending his season early. Now, going into the last Grand Prix this weekend, Shaun has decided to put out this video to up the ante a little bit. This guy is so amazingly dialed in it is going to be really hard to beat him anywhere. Dew Tour, X-Games, Grand Prix, or Olympics. And these are the tricks that he is showing us...I mean he's probably got something else even more ridiculous up his sleeve that he learned on his private practice pipe. I'm not usually the one to hype up Shaun White, but here's the video and you can be the judge on how amazingly ridiculous this guy is. The undisputed fact is that this guy is soooooo dialed in its almost video game easy...



Also here is a listing posted on Transworld Snowboarding of the final qualifiers for this weekends Grand Prix contests. Notice the last name on the list? It surprised me too, and even though he has been out due to an injured foot and ankle the last half of a year, he did win the US Open last year...Good luck Danbo and I hope that you got some gnarly tricks up your sleeves!
