Shaun White still pushing snowboarding envelope

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. (AP) — The clock is ticking. Only 14 months until the Winter Olympics. Shaun White’s message to snowboarding fans — and maybe the competition, too: “Expect the unexpected.”

The two-time Olympic gold medalist, who has the toughest trick in the sport, says he’s not content with the Double McTwist 1260 that pushed both himself and snowboarding to new heights at the Vancouver Games in 2010.

As he heads into this weekend’s Dew Tour iOn Mountain Championship finals, White says there’s more to come, with the Sochi Games just more than a year away.

White tells The Associated Press he’s been doing that trick for a couple years and he’s comfortable with it.

He says: “So, for me, I see tons of possibilities.”
