Red Bull Spends Half A Million on A Secret Half-Pipe

February 21st, 2009 / Comments (4)

Red Bull, with some assistance from Oakley, has just built a secret half-pipe on the backside of Silverton Mountain in Colorado for snowboarder Shaun White’s training purposes. The area can only be accessed by snowmobile or helicopter and is said to be closed off to the public. The price tag was $500,000, and it looks like it was worth every penny. These brands that sponsor athletes take the Olympics seriously, no?

Really, we are spending money on this egotistical little carrot top wanna-be!? All he can do is pipe, and messes himself when he come up to the back country with the big boys. Support someone else, there are better riders out there.
