It took the last run of the evening for Shaun White to pullout the victory in Snowboard Superpipe after falling on his patented 1080 during his first two runs. Kevin Pearce had been in first for most of the evening with what may have been the run of the night. 2006 winner Antti Autti placed third. White's winning run was a backside rodeo 540, a backside 900, a frontside 1080 into a back side 1080, a frontside 900 and a McTwist. White is sometimes known to throw 1260 at the end of his run in place of the McTwist. Did he deserve the win?

Totally agree Cyrus, Pearce deserved the win. And I'm not a Shaun White hater, I thought he got screwed in Breck at the first Dew Tour stop.
