Shaun White made it two Dew Tour victories in a row Sunday when he edged out Pierre Luc-Gagnon (PLG) to win the Toyota Challenge in Salt Lake City, Utah. He'd been skating with the lofty amplitude he is known for all day, and was able to link some very difficult tricks in his winning run including back-to-back fakie-to-fakie 540s into a giant 720. White sealed the deal with his signature trick, the armadillo -- a heelflip body varial frontside 540. PLG was his usual solid, technical self, but was not able to put together the kind of run he did this summer at the X Games when he edged out White to win the gold.

"You want to do probably your hardest thing, but just hold back one trick so maybe you can bump up your score later," said White. "I was definitely in the mindset of landing whatever it was going to take to win."

White was even able to take a victory lap since he was the last skater of the day and had already clinched the win. To the delight of the crowd he threw up a 900 attempt -- something he has not done all year -- and came close to landing it.

"I tried my pretty fancy new trick at the end there," said White. "I wasn't going to break it out, but I got real excited, so you may see that at the next one."

"The next one" will be the final stop of the Dew Tour in Las Vegas. White will go into Sin City at the top of the overall Dew Tour Championship standings. PLG, who is hot on his heels, will be gunning for him, which should make for an exciting finish to the 2010 edition of this tour.
