Shaun White is awesome. He's one of those rare guys that seems to do better as the pressure builds.
It sort of pisses me off that snowboard half pipe is an Olympic sport but BMX or Skate halfpipe isn't. If you've ever ridden a bike or a skateboard on a vert ramp, you need to be waaaaaaay more precise than a snowboard. On a snowboard you can land sideways or clip the coping and still ride it out.
Shaun White was an incredible skater, so that's probably why he dominates snowboard. If you can can kill it on a skate vert ramp, you'll be unstoppable on a snowboard.
