Shaun White is amazing!

He got a perfect 100 when he wasn't 100% himself.

JEFF SLY · 01-31-2012, 07:48 AM

Yea, he is sick.

That doesn't look very difficult. I could probably get 3/4 of his score on my first run while looking 1/4 as ugly.

He also had an injured right ankle doing this as well.

He dropped out of the Men's Snowboard Slopestyle because of the injury but competed in the Superpipe 2 days later. Just think what he would have done at 100%.

Dude is amazing. Just wish he could tone down the ego a little bit. Sometimes he comes off like he never really grew up. Even with that I still root for him in both sk8 and snow.

That's because he's only 25 right now and he's been the best snowboarder in the world since he was like...16. Do you really think he has the people around him, in the snowboard/skateboard environment, who are helping him be mature, humble adult?

he acts like he's a 12 year old boy because the primary demographic that buys stuff with his mug emblazoned across the front of it are 12 year old boys

its the same reason that the 30 year olds working @ zumiez are wearing those stupid bright colored hats with the giant brims....backwards, mind you....along with super tight jeans and inversely puffy DC shoes

it is what it is, no point in bitching about it...i bet he turns it off when he gets home at night

Yeah I realize why he acts the way he does, but I listen to him in interviews and he still talks about things the way we would have back when we were teenagers. Remember when you were 15 and you would go to a party? When explaining how the party went to your friends you might say something like, "I had three beers, two shots of vodka, a shot of jack daniels and took two puffs on a joint." Well that is how all of his interviews come off to me. It's the same tone in those kids voice that I hear. Basically everybody else his age is maturing and just says I'm drunk while he is explaining everything he drank that night. That is kinda how I see him right now.
