Olympics 2010: Meet Shaun White, snowboarding
The Winter Olympics in Vancouver will introduce us to some new faces as well as reunite us with some favorites.Shaun White is already a well known snowboarder with several titles under his belt as well as a 2006 Olympic gold for the men's halfpipe.
He gets plenty of attention for his big hair, but also for his big air, reaching massive heights and executing tricks no one else has. Most recently, he won the gold at the Winter X games, but not before he crashed during a practice run, slamming his face onto the halfpipe. Check out the video.
See what Shaun has to say for himself.
The Olympics will start on NBC on Friday, Feb. 12. The first day of snowboarding during the games will be Monday, Feb. 15.

Shaun:
I read that you are sick of the "flying tomato" moniker and I have new one for you if you haven't already got this one. It's already a sponsor so it makes sense to go with Shaun "Red Bull" White cuz when you're in an event you better get out of the way. Either that or "Red Bud" but that's not PC.
hey i am doin a project on you
HI shaun white YOUR AWESOME
Shaun~ I found out about your heart defect via a friend! That sparked my interest in you seeing I have a two year old with a CHD and he's already had two open heart surgeries! You're amazing and inspiring to those of the CHD world! Keep it up!
