Shaun White is a Better Snowboarder Than God

As you probably know, Shaun White is the best snowboarder in the world. And it's not even close. But what I think a lot of people don't realize is that the reason he is better than everyone else is that he is the only one right now who is willing to go as big as possible. As I was watching the Olympics last night I noticed that Shaun White was the only one who began his run by both starting from the very top of the hill (as opposed to plowing down a little way before starting towards the half-pipe) AND not speed checking before entering the pipe. Everyone else was afraid to go into that monstrous pipe at full speed. Shaun White was not. And that is why he went higher and scored higher than everyone else. (I may try to find some video later to back this up)
