X Games 16: Gold Medals And Highlights

Shaun White’s Vert Silver Medal Run

Here’s a few quick highlights from X Games 16 over the weekend… Shaun White was picked to take gold in the Vert and only narrowly missed out to PLG who had a spectacular run. Still, that can’t take away from White’s super impressive frontside heelflip 540 which was enough to win him the silver medal. Ryan Sheckler took gold in the street over taking Nyah Houston on his last run which included a cab 360 lipslide, backside flip up the gap and a kickflip to boardslide. Check out White’s run above, and PLG’s run (and post-run interview by Keir Dillon!?), Sheckler’s run and Bob Burnquests winning run (50/50 body varial) in the rail jam below.
