Danny Davis - best pipe run ever?Danny Davis takes first place at the Mammoth Grand Prix by stomping a run with 3 double corks. Davis laid down a cab double cork tail grab, front side double cork, and a switch double backflip to secure his win in Mammoth Wednesday.

Shaun White still dominates even when not perfect.On his heels were Scotty Lago and Shaun White who both had an impressive showing. Lago had some of the biggest airs of the day, along with a true front side double cork 1080 which the announcer described as the only double cork of the day to have a full 1080 degrees of rotation.

Eyes were on the pipe - thoughts were with KP.Shaun White also had some amazing runs involving back to back double corks, but with a sketched out landing of his last hit cab 1080, unable to carry the momentum from Tuesday's Qualifiers.


Kelly Clark secured her spot on the Olympic team.On the ladies side it was a battle between Kelly Clark and Hannah Teter for first. Both had large airs and back to back 720s, but Kelly landed a front side 900 to secure her win. In addition to winning the Grand Prix, Kelly also gained the necessary points to guarantee her spot on the US Olympic halfpipe team.

Kelly Clark was stoked and said she's excited to be going to the Olympics for the 3rd time.

We were there and the photos really capture the excitement and the event. Thanks so much. I went skiing with my grandson and a girlfriend in the morning and then hiked up to the edge of the super pipe to watch the finals. We were 3 feet away from the edge of the pipe. The competitors flew over our heads. This was the next best thing to being at the Olympics.
