Shaun White won his ninth X Games event last night (14 total medals) in a close Superpipe final over Kevin Pierce. Immediately there was talk about Shaun getting pushed, but ESPN blogger Tracy Anderson breaks it down pretty cleanly on his post titled White Gold.
White beats Pearce by one point. A 91.66 to Pearce’s 90.66. White becomes the first athlete in X Games history to win back-to-back pipe golds. The crowd goes crazy. End of story. . . Not so fast. Complaints began immediately. ESPN’s X Games announcer Todd Richards said on live TV he didn’t think White’s run deserved gold. Several pro snowboarders watching—standing next to me—said Pearce’s run looked better, bigger.
Anderson then includes the trick by trick breakdown and Shaun had one more hit and an extra spin. We’re reminded that controversy just makes better TV.

This is apparently the eighth time Shaun White has one the top golden prize on this TV show. They’re saying it’s some kind of record. He looks damn good in this clip. Flawless even.

Looks like Arnette hooked up an ad agency that specializes in “viral video.” It must be working a little, huh? The Daily Mail wrote a story about it.

ESPN’s Micah Abrams travels to Tofino, British Columbia with miracle man Timmy Turner to get the inside story on one of surfing’s most dedicated feral filmmakers. And he definitely got the story. Good waves? Well, that’s a different story all together.

Seems like all our friends are being interviewed these days. Check this with ace image capture master Tim Zimmerman and remember, it’s only part one (part 2 after the jump). Side note: this also reminds us why we’d rather read an interview than have to “watch” it on video.

As if we won’t get enough of Todd Richards elsewhere, Quiksilver is giving us a weekly “todcast” filled with fully uncut Todd heckling. As Todd says, “Take a break from browsing porn and watch this . . . ”
