VANCOUVER- Snowboard aficionado and two-time gold medal champion Shaun White announced he is already working on a series of new tricks for future competitions. "You gotta keep up the heat or you fall behind, man" White told a press conference this morning. Despite the secrecy afforded his previously unseen tricks, White outlined some of his ideas stating this time he was unconcerned about other humans being able to copy and perform such "Freeky Deeky" feats. White hopes to have the new moves perfected in time for the 2014 Olympics in Sochi. Some highlights:
"Tomato Spritzer"- White sprays a stream of urine onto his competitors from a midair height of more than 30 feet
"The Gambler"- At the top of his arc White performs a card trick, all while donning a Kenny Rogers mask
"Changeup"- This impressive trick involves White quickly removing his shirt midair, turning it inside-out, and redressing before touching down
"Changeup 540"- Changeup with 1 ½ rotations
"Pull!"- Two shotgun-wielding marksmen fire rounds at White as he performs a double flip, which he will catch in his bare hands. During training, rubber bullets are planned to be used for safety.
"Ten Mississippi"- After launch, White will scream out "One Mississippi..Two Mississippi.." to a full count of ten before landing
"Cinco Rio Grande"- Similar to a Ten Mississippi but recited in Spanish, while wearing a sombrero
"The Mountaineer"- White will jump a large group of kneeling sherpas arranged along the top of the pipe in a pyramid
"Pole Position"- A 20 foot tall vertical pole will be mounted at the top of the half-pipe, which White will land his snowboard upon, perform that day's New York Times crossword puzzle while balancing in position, then perform a soft landing
"Rocky Mountain Straight"- White will perform a trick while not totally high
