Defending snowboard champion Shaun White won gold in the Olympic Men's Halfpipe in Vancouver yesterday.
The US rider scored an almost perfect 48.4 out of 50 in his second run which included his new Double McTwist 1260 trick - now called a Tomahawk!
Finland's Peetu Piiroinen came a respectable second with Scotty Lago placing third, as seen in a video on BBC News.
