sws_2.jpgReady. Set. GO! Yeah, it's a race to the finish this week as we're giving away FIVE copies of Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip, Target Edition for the Wii. What's that mean? It means you'll be getting four huge snow mountains to explore along with an exclusive Target mountain filled with death-defying jumps and enough loops to turn your hair "Shaun White red." (It's not a bad thing—chicks dig red...and shiny Olympic and X-Games medals). Don't go and make all the snow yellow if you don't win, though. You can pick up a copy of the game, available now at any Target store nationwide.

As always, you can either leave your totally awesome caption in the comments below or check out out Beat This Caption page here. G'luck!
