White has been here before and absolutely dominated. In the Vancouver Olympic Games back in 2010, White knew he was the champion before he even took his final run in the halfpipe, because nobody else could touch his score from his previous run. Even then, White felt he needed to compete against himself nonetheless and finished with a record score of 48.4.

White has been on a snowboard longer than most. At the age of seven, he took part in his first amateur competition. At the age of 13, he became one of the youngest athletes ever to sign with a major equipment supplier (Burton) and officially become a recognized professional in the sport.

Having battled a couple of ankle injuries, White was still able to qualify for the games. He has had enough time to heal up and should be a healthy ‘go’ come February.

The last time White graced the Olympic stage, he pulled off a move that nobody else had ever done before: The Double McTwist 1260. What is a Double McTwist 1260? It involves two vertical flips and three and a half spins. This was the move that earned him a record-breaking final score four years ago. Will he pull it off again? Or, will he go even bigger this year?

Mr. White may just debut a new trick he pulled off last year on a video he posted online, called the Double Cork 1440. You thought the Double McTwist 1260 was insane? Oh, you just wait my friend.
