I like it; it's a pretty humbling title to hold.
I'm proud. White landed the same run that earned him a perfect in last year's final, highlighted by back-to-back double cork s on his final two hits -- his trademark double McTwist into the frontside variation he pioneered last January.
White, who failed to medal in Slopestyle on Saturday, falling twice and finishing fifth, left little hope for his challengers with a point first run Sunday night. The only element missing from his historic night was his would-be challenger, Iouri Podladtchikov, or "I-Pod," as the Swiss world champion is known.
Podladtchikov qualified ahead of White in Thursday's elimination round, but he came down with the flu and withdrew from Sunday's competition shortly before it began. White said Podladtchikov texted him to apologize. He pushes me. But he drew roars from the crowd by linking stylish and smooth front and cab s into front and back s before unleashing his lone double cork. Finland's Markus Malin earned the first medal of his X Games career with bronze Scotty Lago also scored 90 points, thanks to a rare two-handed truck driver grab on a frontside at the end of his first run.
