Winter Olympics have just finished couple of days ago and I happened to stumble upon these older clips of Shaun White and Project X, which Redbull put up especially for him.

What follows is The Red Bull Project X crew talking about the challenges building this enormous half pipe in the middle of nowhere, namely a remote high altitude location somewhere in the Colorado mountains. To be successful the industries greatest minds where gathered together with a massive load of explosives. Their goal… to create controlled avalanches in order to have sufficient high quality snow.

One may wonder why they went to all these lengths for this guy. Well the reason is rather simple as you will see below. White is one the most talented guys out there and he needed the space to disappear in preparation of greatness and training for what would be the biggest winter of his life.

Rather annoyed *meh* now I just realised I will not be hitting the slopes this season. Out.
