(Aspen, CO) A humble, redheaded kid of 19 from Carlsbad, California has dominated his competition in almost every snowboarding event he has entered in the last half decade.

Shaun White is once again at the top of the pack this year and has proved it by winning his fourth straight gold at the 10th annual ESPN Winter X Games at Aspen/Snowmass, Colorado.

White landed three clean 1080s (three rotations) in a flawless run to earn a jaw dropping score of 95 out of 100 from the judges.

This win is certainly an encouraging step for White as he looks for gold in the halfpipe competition at the Tarino Winter Olympics next month.

In an interview with ESPN White said, "Honestly, I think the pressure makes me ride way better. And it always makes me go bigger."
