It seems the ginger ninja has done it again..Shaun White has taken the honours at the 7th Annual NZ Burton Open held at my home resort Cardrona, Wanaka NZ. Apparently he threw down some doble cork 10s in the new 22ft olympic standard pipe..no big deal right..who cant throw double cork 10s in a 22ft monster...its new black..everyones doing it.say what u will about the guy but he killed it indeed so props are deserved.The slopestyle was also a spectacular event ive heard from my NZ counterparts with Sebastian Toutant taking the first place honurs with his signiture "Toutsie Roll"(what is this u ask..get google-ing and find out!) So all in all i hear it was pretty epic and the partys that ensued were absolute carnage in true wanaka style..so for all u shred heads who aint been its a must so mark an X on that map u gotta get there!My man bry knows what im talking about...i mean it can really get outta hand! here all all the final results for those who give a fuck
