Shaun White crash on Superpipe video - Winter X...

Snowboarding star Shaun White was recently practicing his moves on the Superpipe for the Winter X games 2010. What happened during the practice was unexpected though, as White hit the ice and snow hard while coming down near the one side of the Superpipe. As the Shaun White crash happened he hit face first into the snowy ice and his helmet popped off his head. Afterword he and his brother reviewed what had just happened.

White seems fine after the incident, and was more upset by not landing the move he was trying for. Apparently he was trying for the "Double McTwist 1260" during his practice run.

Video below shows just what happened in the Shaun White crash. Let's hope the snowboarding star known as the Flying Red Tomato will be ok!

Watched him do this up front and in a way I think it was a good thing his helmet came off and took most of the blow, because I think it may have snapped his neck in half had it stayed on and didn't let go. Look like it caught the front rim on the edge and it is what took out the chunk of ice from the deck. I bet he can barely move today and wish he'd of had a cat scan done on his neck and upper back. I think over night some realities will have set in medically. His chin will probably double in size too.

He was looking for a new knick name? Jaws?
