"For me tonight to put that run together was unreal," says Shaun, shortly after linking his Grand Prix-winning 49.50 ride in Park City this weekend, a run that included the newly debuted double McTwist 12. "It felt great. I wanted to push the judges to boundaries that they can go to. I know they haven't handed out a full-on perfect score yet. I'll get them."
With this win in Park City, Shaun locked in the top spot of the 2010 Sprint U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix series. High fives, hand shakes, and good times ensued. He's now bound for Aspen and Winter X.
Dude did u seriously just spell his name wrong? Wow. And Shaun I just watched your video on YouTube with the double back rodeo I think it's called. That's such an awsome trick! Hey Megan can you do that trick too? And Megan you play ping pong right? what type of spin do you use on your serve?
Hey shun! i love you! i luved the way u did the mctwist in vancover, u rocked on the half pipe! u should call me 9153560058
I have never attempted to communicate with a total stranger like this before, but wanted to share a couple things, wrote out this long message the other day, it said it was submitted successfully, and it never appeared - since then, a number of people have written things very similar to my message, and now I can't repeat without sounding like a parrot. Aren't the posts supposed to display on the same page you submitt them? Frustrating....
Hey, Shaun, i watched the mctwist talk video and i think it's awesome! im gonna get a new board at the end of the season. what size do you ride?Megan, that's awesome! congrats on the double mctwist 12! yeah, I live in provo, like 45 min from salt lake. where do you guys usually ride at out here?

Gosh I wish I could do that!! I'm going to someday, you just wait. lol My biggest dream is to be an Olympian snowboarder and to win gold, that would be so amazing! But I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to do it cause' it will probably cost a lot of money. sheesh. But anyway, like I said before, thanks for inspiring me to keep going Shaun and I'm totally supporting Megan! That would be so much fun if I could work with you all sometime.
L J Heaten, you live in Utah?! What part? Cuz I have 22 friends that live in Salt Lake City and we all went to Australia together with 21 other ppl from NY!

I think that you are one of the most amazing snowboarders ever to live. I think that you are a great snowboard too. I think that you are a great role model for kids. I also think that you are really cute. Great job at the olympics tht was AMAZING!!!
No problem! I'm only 12, and i skii noot board. I could never get a gold medal, know one belives in me, because my brothers are always telling me how muck i suck, even though i skii faster and do harder trails then them
Oh yeah, let us know when you're coming back to Utah! And good luck to Megan!
Hey Shaun! Thanks for your awesome example. I love watching you ride and also seeing you help out all those kids in those homes.Tthanks to you i started pushing myself harder and tonight i pulled out a bunch of 540's which i had never even attempted before. I'm stoked to watch you on the tonight show with Jay Leno. keep on keeping on
Oh, and best of luck to your cousin. I'm sure she will land the Double McTwist soon with you as her coach!
Hey Shaun! Watching your runs in the Olympics was amazing! I learned to board a couple of years ago, but I never pursued it. After watching you, I definately want to start again. Thanks for the inspiration! Congratulations on your second gold medal. You deserve it! Your double McTwist is incredible! It blew my mind!
Thanks chris. And prolly but if I'm going the my little cousin Megan is going cuz she is just as good as me only 9 years 7 months and 7 days younger than me. But she will prolly win gold again. She's only 14 and already has like 8 gold medals and 1 silver! So keep supportin me and please support her! She can't quite land the Double McTwist 12 yet but she'll get it with support.
dude that double McTwist 12 you did was pretty damn gnarly gonna go to Russia? when it the next winter x?
Aww thanks Elizabeth! That was very sweet of you to say. How old are you? My cousin, Megan, is 14 and she's going to be in the Summer Olympics and the next Winter Olympics with me!
Shaun, i dont think i could ever spell it wrong! Kepp on boarding, and rocking the olympics =]
Why thank you very much Elizabeth! And thank you for spelling my name right ;)
I think Shaun should have held the American flag. All the Olympians are fantastic, but Shaun just blows my mind!
No offence to anyone but jtlyk spelling errors piss me off especially if it's my name that's spelled wrong. Sorry I just had to say it. But thanks for sayin I'm awesome! I'm sure all of you are too! And I never go on aim/email anymore unless it's from family. But my little cousin, she's 13 and she is in Acting classes in NYC and I'm flying her out to see the rest of the olympics haha. Anyone gonna watch the Closing Ceremonies? Oh and if you live in NY then you're awesome too! I love NY

Alisha, if you believe that you can achieve then you will! That's what I did. I keep believing in myself and push myself to work harder until I win that gold! And yeah sometimes I'll wipeout like on January 30 at the X-games but that's why you learn from your mistakes. I believe in you Alisha. You CAN win that gold medal! Keep practicing
