Cool interview.
Would have been nice for him to be honest and say slopestyle is a better representation of snowboarding in general. Way more people riding the parks as opposed to the pipe. I don’t think it takes away anything away from what he’s achieved. Anyway, he danced around that question nicely.

my thoughts exactly, but i knew as soon as it was asked that he wasn’t going to take anything away from pipe in favor of slopestyle.
i still dont think he’s going to achieve the style needed for a good slopestyle run regardless of what tricks he does, he rides with a pencil up his rectum IMO
Shaun used to kill it in slopestyle. Granted that slopestyle has progressed a lot in recent years, Shaun used to be super stylish. Have you watched “The Shaun White Album”? If not, it’s worth a viewing. His style changed to win gold medals in the pipe—> robot. I also feel his mega tight pants has something to do with it. It just takes away the steeze factor I think. Anyway, he’ll win the gold in pipe but there’s nothing he can do to stop the likes of Mark McMorris and Seb Toots, etc.
ill look it up and have a view tomorrow.
speaking of mark mcmorris, he is 5 months younger than me, what i want to know, where the hell did i go wrong???
^^all the beer might have something to do with it? haha
good to see Letterman ribbing him about how Ayumu Hirano is.
Ayumu for gold in the half pipe 2014!
@rider26: I agree completely, Shaun used to own slopestyle until he focused completely on pipe. And yeah I think the tight pants factor in the steeze too, if he wore baggy pants like he used to I think he will be more stylish when doing his tricks. I can’t think of any rider who wore skinny pants that have great style.
