Today we get to see the Winter Olympics ‘Mens Halfpipe’ go down. Qualifiers kick off at 8:05am, semi’s happen at 12:15pm and the finals will be happening at 2:15pm (all Aus east coast time). I’ll be updating the blog and shoutbox all day with the happenings. If the conditions are right, rumor has it Shaun White will bring out two new tricks he has dialed… However the contest should be close because the weather is definitely acting as an equalizer. Check below for the heat list and keep checking back through the day for more! Good luck to Aussies Scotty James and Ben Mates!
