Winter X 2013: The Shit We Care About (kinda)
By admin • Jan 25th, 2013 • Category: Event Coverage, Features, LatestHALFPIPE | SLOPESTYLE | REAL SNOW
Apparently an X Games drinking game where you drink every time they show or mention Shaun White is a little TOO EFFECTIVE, so you’ll have to excuse the delay on this report. In case you missed it, senior Blanco did NOT qualify first in the halfpipe yesterday. After IPod topped his score — with a run they didn’t show on TV — the tomato had one chance to best his Euro adversary. Instead, he did this:
While everyone sat around scratching their heads/faking outrage, we we’re busy rewinding the DVR to try and find IPod’s winning run, but alas, we were right. ESPN was too busy chronicling the snomocross guys’ deathly crashes to show it. So in case you did want to watch the top scoring run for some reason, here ya go:
And if you really want to enjoy the Extreme Gaymes, we highly recommend this drinking game from Lick the Cat.

People shouldnt hate on Shaun just cause he is the best snowboarded on the planet maybe even universe. He has accomplished soo much while overcoming down syndrome and being a ginger.
