White is working on back-to-back 1440s for this year’s Olympics.
White said Thursday that he is working on the tricks that Japan's Ayumu Hirano used to win the Winter X Games last month. Hirano became the first person to string together back-to-back 1440s in what was widely regarded as the best show ever seen in a halfpipe.
"I'm excited to compete with him," White said. "He's really pushing it, and he did an amazing combination that I'm working on myself. I don't think we've seen my best run."
