Shaun White

          Shaun White is definitely the most perfect Rockstar in the sport. If you haven't heard of him, it's certainly because you were inattentive when he was on television. We're talking about a guy who's a pro at Skateboarding and he's a pro at Snowboarding, as well as being recognized around the world as legendary. Watching Shaun ride a snowboard is something that unravels our concepts of what is humanly possible and rebuilds it.
          One of the most present characteristics of this athlete is that of being a competitor, always participating in championships and competitions in general. Only the one who walks at a very high level with the base of returning to trick in the first is a champion. And this guy arrives at the championship and does a six-jump lap over five meters high with maneuvers ranging from 900 to 1440. He always wins.
          A spot at the Winter X Games requires a qualifier, and Shaun would get two spots, one at Slope Style which is a tricky obstacle course, and one at Halfpipe, and he would get two spots from 2000 to 2013. The spot was tough, eventually. also won all final competitions from 2000 to 2013. That's a total of 18 medals in the X Games. As if that wasn't enough, he also won a spot at the summer X Games, participated in the skateboard halfpipe and took twice gold. At the Winter Olympics, Shaun is the only person to have achieved 3 consecutive gold medals in the snowboard halfpipe. This athlete's list of achievements is too long, that's why they usually talk about the medals of the most important championships in the world.

          The story begins in San Diego, California, in 1986, where Shaun Roger White, the youngest of four siblings, was born. He has been skateboarding since childhood and eventually followed in the footsteps of his older brother who was a snowboarder. When Shaun got into snowboarding he was only 7 years old, and he was a kid in the middle of an older class. He saw all the athletes training difficult maneuvers and kept trying to reach the same level. As Shaun learned tricks and got better, he reached the level of the amateurs, competed internally and trained to walk at the level of the guys, the thing is, he was still a kid. Then at age 8 he got his first Snowboard sponsorship. He oozed level and talent, so much so that at age 9 when he met Tony Hawk at a skatepark, he was running around trying to get attention. After that episode, Tony was the one who guided him to become a skateboarder.

          The feeling you give when you see Shaun White's ride is that of someone who vibrates persistence and walks very often. He doesn't play so many games, gets on the track and gives difficult maneuvers and does the session at a very high level. That's because his career is not a fanciful career of videos, it's a real career of maneuvering in the minute of the championship. He never showed weakness on the Board, he always showed level and a lot of courage, coming from an incredible Board trajectory and full of merits.

          Of all the achievements, one of the most incredible accomplishments was participating in the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The organization fulfills the wish of a terminally ill child. Where a young man who had had heart surgery wanted to meet Shaun White, and upon meeting him Shaun revealed that he had had the same heart surgery as a child, the two took an iconic photo of that moment with both pulling off his shirt and revealing the same. scar in the heart. Shaun was born with a Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart defect, and had two surgeries before the age of one. He and the young man went through the same surgeon. From the episode onwards, Shaun granted many wishes at the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
