Sean White won the snowboard superpipe gold medal at the X-Games but paid the price. (The Big Lead) I think he’s the only American I’ll be cheering for in Vancouver.

Today’s first photo gallery is a celebration of the Winter X-Games. I’d rather watch them than the Olympics and these X-Games hotties are part of the reason why. (Bro Bible)
