Of course Shaun not being at the X Games meant that we were treated to the sight of Danny Davis standing on top of the podium.
Strangely, he’s never won an X Games halfpipe gold before, but what made this victory all the more special was the nature of his win. His run was effortlessly stylish and included a switch method.
Would it have been technical enough to win had Shaun showed up? If we’re honest, probably not, and we’re unsure if Danny will have the tricks to beat Mr White in Sochi. But what we do know is regardless of where he finishes, we’re going to enjoy watching him ride.
