Haven’t heard this name in a while, stoked to check out his documentary, better work on my spanish though….
Shaun White added another gold medal to his growing collection today. A perfect score of a 100.00! Does that mean no one can ever beat Shaun ever again? Even if someone gets a 100 score it will only tie his record right? Regardless the riding is amazing.
And here he explains his run!
Traveling in the Tohoku area right now has once again reminded me how badly this area and these people are being screwed by their own Government. Yesterday I met a young guy from Ofuna city, which was hit badly by the Tsunami last year. He lost three close friends and said he was only saved because he was snowboarding when the earthquake happened so he was far away when the Tsunami hit. Listening to people’s stories here is incredible. They have been through so much and all they get in return is high radiation dosages, contaminated food and a Government that can only provide free rides on the Highway system in Tohoku. Lame, this really lame cover up continues to go on over here.
Interesting and thought provoking article here, I love this quote from the story.
“No one trusts the national government’s safety standards,” said Ichio Muto, 59, who farms organic mushrooms in Nihonmatsu, 25 miles northwest of the Fukushima Daiichi plant”
Is is really possible to claim organic on any produce from the Fukushima and greater Tohoku area anymore? Radiation is not a pesticide….but….

Jazzy Sports Relay at APPI last night!
Back on the road again! Left my house late last night to catch the 5am ferry to Hachinohe and then made the drive to APPI Kogen. Snow looks pretty good here. Tonight is the 6th year for Jazzy Sport relay music event so I guess the road trip starts off with a party!
Check out this break down of Shaun Whites pipe riding from ESPN, leading into the Winter X-Games 2012! High Tech stuff including the statement that Shaun’s “Skinny pant” may give him an edge with up to 20% less wind drag! Where do they get this stuff?
