White places second in Dew Tour superpipe

The top four finishers in men’s snowboard superpipe finals at the Dew Tour in Breckenride are from the United States.

Sixteen riders competed in what is a qualifying event for the Olympics.

The 600-foot pipe is longest one built today.

Greg Bretz of Mammoth upset favorite Shaun White. White, who rides for Northstar, had to settle for second. Taylor Gold rounded out the podium. Bretz is the first person to beat White in nearly four years.
