VIDEO – Shaun ‘Flippin’ White learns a new trick

In case you missed it, GoPro recently built Juan Blanco, a.k.a Shaun Roger White, a private pipe in Perisher

You’ve probably also heard that he was training for the elusive triple cork in the pipe. While we did spot a few attempts into the BagJump, he so far hasn’t released any footage of him landing one. What he has released though, is a Frontside Double Cork 1440 – très loose. While the style factor that can be attributed to such a trick is questionable, Olympic judging’s track record indicates that well-executed extra rotation will score well.

The question, come Sochi, will be: who else has ’em?

Try to ignore the self-appointed nicknames at the beginning… Where was ‘The Flying Tomato’?
