After just taking gold in slopestyle 17 year old Shaun White was getting ready taking another gold in superpipe. Everybody was focused on White expecting him to take home his second gold in this years X-Games. But, during prelims he decked while doing a Haakon flip near the end of his second run and sprained his right knee. He took a few runs to test his knee out and after landing a clean McTwist he fell and he was done. This left gold medal open for any of the finalists. Some of the favorites then became Keir Dillon, Danny Kass, Steve Fisher, Ross Powers and Andy Finch. The one who stepped it up the most was Steve Fisher who landed a solid run to put him in first and after that nobody could catch him. Danny Kass came close in second place and in third Keir Dillon. And as for next year Shaun should be back and looking for some revenge.
