Thats right, the guy is so full of himself that he has lost touch with reality not to mention the sports that he has to thank for his riches.

WTF?!?!?!
You don’t come back from selling out like that. Shaun White = wanker.
That’s really weird. I wonder how RED/Burton feels about him selling a different brand of helmet. I think Shaun needs a new agent and management team. What does Shaun White have to do with scooters or bikes?
Andy T, I think you on it. I watched a flick with him heliboarding. His freestyle boarding seem ordinary if not scratchy compare to the other boarder in the same flick, doing the same lines. What blow me out was his self-appraisal’s of his runs He was ordinary and he knew it. If you not suited to something just admit it.
That’s really weird.
I’m with rider on this one. I think he’s now getting sold like a piece of meat. I wonder if he even knows his name is on all that shit.
Still, he must have agreed to it.
This is something I don’t like about extreme sports.
There are those who support it as best they can in hopes that people respect that and buy their products.
And then there a people who only seek to profit from our community. And as soon as the spot light turns to another sport, they will be gone just as fast.
I just hope snowboarding can hold it together when we’re not the cool thing to do in the media’s eyes.
Yea I agree with Andy and Rider. I think this is pushing it. Who knows maybe he’ll ditch Burton and make his own company.
Hahaahahahhaaa!!!!!
He always was a knob!!!!! A bloody great snowboarder, and an awesome skater, but always a knob!!!!!
I get the impression that he’s past caring what people think. Most of the snowboarding community seems to have thought (or by acting “cool”, thought) he’s a sell-out for a while. He’s probably gotten used to the fact that he can’t please everyone so may as well let the marketers have their way.
He was such a friendly, cheery kid in First Descent. I wonder what that movie would be like now with modern day Shaun White?
Meh, still got more lamborghini than me :(
I liked First Descent, and absolutely loved the White Album, but even in those movies he has an heir of arrogance about him!!!!!
And I definitely believe that to get to the elite level of any chosen field this is a trait that you have to have, but it’s how you control that trait that makes a true legend in the end!!!!!
wow

It’s true, You can be the best without being big headed about it.
I mean look at Mizu.
When he became the Post King it’s not like he went around bragging about it….....
Hahaha
But I AM A FRIGGIN LEGEND, Andy!!!!! And If ya spent more time up the right way, ya would notice theses things!!!!!
Hmmm…......... Mizu Kuma brand ice skates?????
You’re definitely a legend in my books Mizu.
Just promise me I won’t see any Mizu brand scooters!
I can’t promise anythin when I am runnin in the same circle as Whitey!!!!!! (That’s what I call him when we catch up at Aspen in the winter)
