Project-X viewing party

Project-X viewing party
January 30, 2010 - 2:00pm

This is a viewing party for all to see Shaun Whites Project X. The private pipe is the first of its kind and was created in collaboration with one of White's principal sponsors, Red Bull. Located in secluded Silverton, Colo., White's half-pipe is tucked away where only a snowmobile or helicopter can reach. According to Red Bull, it's "the perfect spot to keep Shaun's work under wraps." It took two months, 30 shipments of helicopter-delivered snow and 8,000 pounds of welded steel to build the world's first on-mountain snowboarding pit, which allows White to perfect his never-been-done-before tricks safely before trying them in competition. Dubbed "Project X," the half-pipe was kept a secret until completion. Then, White spent two months reinventing snowboarding, culminating in his victory in this month's U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix.
