Shaun White Olympics 2010 video: Amazing boarding moves (video).  Shaun White has always been a snowboarding sensation, but his Olympics 2010 video has gone viral.  Nearly four days after he gave us his phenomenal performance, people still can’t get enough.

During the first run, White went the conservative route.  He didn’t show off his hardest move - the Double McTwist 1260.  He didn’t want to put pressure on his teammates, which showcases that he’s far from a selfish person.

Shaun White had a comfortable lead when he took off for his second run.  He knew he had to deliver a stellar performance that would leave people talking about his sport for days.  He nailed the aforementioned move, and gave people the best 30 second show in the event.

Shaun White’s Olympic performance was entertaining, but the sport of snowboarding has also had some snafus during the Vancouver games.  Bronze medal winner Scotty Lago, one of Shaun White’s teammates, headed back to the US early after racy photographs featuring the athlete with his medal surfaced on celebrity gossip site TMZ (click here for more on this story and the pictures.)
