At the Winter X Games 13 in Aspen, the snowboarding results are out. In the men's snowboarder X event, Nate Holland won a record fourth straight title, Graham Watanabe was second and Stian Sivertzen came third. In the slopestyle competition Shaun White won a record eighth Winter X gold medal. White utilized all parts of the slopestyle course, even clearing a 75-foot lip on a crossover canyon feature. He was the only snowboarder to try the switch from one table to the other.
