Vito's last run was awesome. I'm pretty sure at this stage he can't really put together a run better than that. Unfortunately, he's a little guy who doesn't even get close to boosting anywhere near as high as the older guys. He's going to be a serious threat once he grows up.
The days of "hucking" 10s in the pipe are almost over. It pains me to say it, but JJ was one of the (if not the only) guy really "hucking" tens. As far as I'm concerned, if you have enough control to grab nose/tail on a ten in the pipe it's not a huck.
I agree that the ten is becoming the new backflip in snowboarding (in terms of it being the only trick that people who don't snowboard will mention). If you're tired of watching back to back tens, stop watching competitive halfpipe. The level of competition is at the point where you're going to have to get that tech to win/place. If you really want to knock out someone who's doing clean back to back tens, you're going to have to go at least 15 feet out on every air and probably combo a pair of nines.
On a final note, BACKSIDE TEN. Do you guys have any idea how ridiculous that is? Granted he didn't spin a full ten, but nobody does. Why do you think so many people were losing their heel edges? White deserves the gold for halfpipe.
Edit P.S. If you're tired of seeing White before/after commercial breaks you must be sick of watching televised sports in general. When you watch a Lakers game they show Kobe. When you watch Eagles games they show McNabb. Why? Because they're superstars. They're who people want to see.
