Shaun White - Snowboarding

Shaun White - Snowboarding

Shaun White was nicknamed Future Boy when he first started competing as a pro. He was only 13 but was already pushing the limits of snowboarding. White established a rep for getting big air and tying together snowboarding tricks in ways that had never been done before. In 2003, Shaun stomped all over the Winter X Games and every other event he entered. Shaun White won the gold medal in the slopestyle and the superpipe and also took the Games' best-athlete award. A month later, Shaun became the youngest snowboarder to win the US Open Slopestyle Championship. Shaun has medaled every year he has participated in the Winter X Games. He currently has 11 medals, seven of which are gold!

Shaun White - Skateboarding

After setting new standards in the world of snowboarding, Shaun decided to make his mark in skateboarding. White joined Tony Hawk on his Gigantic Skatepark Tour in 2002 and made his pro skateboarding debut at the 2003 Slam City Jam. Shaun finished fourth in the vert half pipe, which qualified him for the 2003 X Games, where he finished sixth in the vert competition. Shaun is also a very creative - he is the only skater to attempt a 1080, although he is yet to land it. In 2007, he won his first Summer X Games medal in vert.

Shaun White - Back In Black And Gold

In December 2005, Shaun White qualified for the 2006 Winter Olympics in halfpipe snowboarding by winning two US Olympic team qualifying events in Breckenridge, Colorado. He became an Olympic champion after winning the gold medal in halfpipe snowboarding in Turin, Italy. His gold-medal run included back-to-back 900s and was run with AC/DC's Back In Black as his background song.
