yes there is no disputing that he’s unbelievably awesome, but for mine, he’s too much of a robot. maybe its tall poppy syndrome but someone like that could never be my hero. he lacks soul somehow.

I don’t know about lucky.. did you know he was born with a congenital heart defect for which he endured two open-heart operations before the age of one?  Can’t hurt that he made friends with Tony Hawk when he was like 9, what a suck role moel that must have been . . .

Shaun is incredible. Of course he’s super talented and makes a lot of money doing his thing. But what impresses me the most is how he pulls out his best and performs at record-setting levels when the weight of the world is on his shoulders. He performs under pressure, time and time again. He exceeds expectations and pushes both his sports to new levels. He has the character and the heart of a true champion. Love him or hate him, he will go down in the books as one of the all-time greats in competition snowboarding and skateboarding.

I would do ANYTHING to be him. I feel sorry for seb toots. That kid trys so had then gets crapped on by Shaun lol.

seb toots is only young still mate, plenty of time for him to shine!

The thing about doing what shaun does is that eventually it takes its toll on your body. in time Shaun will have to step aside and when he does, seb and other younguns will step up to the plate. For now, the best thign to do is learn/feed of Shauns achievements.

Seb isn’t trying to be like Shaun and why is he crapped on? Seb owns Shaun at slopestyle events. Don’t get me wrong I like Shaun White and I think he’s one of the best if not the best competition rider out there especially in the pipe.

Shaun just makes it all look so easy! He is very very talented and you’re right rider, he preforms extremely well under pressure!!!

Seb Toots is killing it in slopestyle, as are a bunch of other young riders (Mark McMorris etc.). Shaun isn’t at the top in slopestyle any more. This was pretty evident at the last Winter X Games. He even admitted he’s got catching up to do in slopestyle. The next Olympics are going to be so interesting with the inclusion of slopestyle. I can’t wait to see what happens.
