Photos > A Year in the Life of Shaun White

you are a big inspiration to lots of people... keep it up

FYI: Even though I'm middle-age, I was really inspired by your passion and determination, it has given me a boost to try and pursue some dreams God has put on my heart. I was also pleasantly surprised that you appear to have kept a level head and humble attitude in the midst of your celebrity-run -- that is truly a rarity. Speaking of runs, I recorded the snowboarding Olympic events and had my 8-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son watch you win gold, so that they could catch a bit of your spirit! It was a lot of fun and they really enjoyed it. I wish you and your family all the very best.

You need to check out The Hold Steady... from the looks of your playlist, you'd be into them.

Listen here Dakota aka Dopey you don't talk about Shaun LIKE THAT!!!!!! I bet he's better than you in EVERYTHING!! So keep your crap like that to yourself!!

Dude your goos as hell at snowboarding =P i im working on it but not that far into it i broke everything in my ankle.was in a cast and out off and on but then i got my pins out and started walking. Instantly went to the slopes =]. I still got the metal plate and screwes in will get them out after the school year. im in 10th grade btw and im 16

Would love to see the pics, doing my Informative Speech on Shaun for my Speech class! So pics would be great, need for my PP slides :) Thanks Shaun for giving me a great topic to speak about... YOU! :)

U= the best ever. You believe in what you can do, your good at what you do, and you inspire other people to do what you do. I am originally from southern cali, but now live in south carolina, snow is still completely new to me. I the klutz was on my sled going down hills standing up on my sled. If you get any more awesome, i will not be able to bare it. You are an amazing role model and an amazing person. you have driven me to the point where i cried when you got the gold medal. CONGRATS, and hope to see you on the slopes again soon.oh and, NEVER CUT YOUR HAIR!! ITS LEGENDARY!!!!! and you are ,my absolute hero due to the fact you wear skinny jeans.the only thing you could do is to suddenly become ten years younger......

Hi, I know I'm just another one of those crazed fans, but you are my role model. I love snowboarding but my family has never had enough money to do much for me. I am actually right now watching the Closing Ceremony and the Americans just came out. I don't know why, but all of my friends think its strange that my role madel is you but I never let them get me down. This message is about the fact that I love you and your my role model!!

I look up to you and i have pictures of you and your steps of your signature move and alot of stuff with you in it on my walls. You are the only person i look up to and im only in 5th grade going into 6th grade. I wish i could see you in person to congradulate your gold medal and i mean you are just amazing. I wish you where 13 years younger than you are. I am 10 gong on 11 on May 5th. I can go on 4 ages but this thing doesn't give me enough room darnet.

Id like to find out how far off that analgy is.... ;)

Hott(;

I LOVE YOU YOUR HAWWTTT XD <3 <3 <3 yourrr rly hot sorry love the hair watching you right nowwww!!! :)

Hi! You are amazing. Good luck at the Olympics :)

Now let's get this straight. I'm 11, a girl, and doesn't look up to u. I ski, sometimes in the pocanos. U should cut that junk off ur neck a little. When my cousin first showed me ur picture I thought u were a girl. And stop snow boarding when u reach ur thirtys, or else u will turn out like britany spears, linsey lohan and those other people. Oh and good luck with all those crazed fans, u might need a restraining order or two (thousand). Good luck, you'll need it.

shaun whitee iss sooo fuckkinn hottt mann;)

Holy Smack! That was hardcore fall you took at the x games on the superpipe! I know i wouldn't have been able to get back up and compete like you did! Way to tough it up and be a true man! You inspired me to get a board, i watch and admire everything you do! Thanks for being so great and such a good inspiration to younger kids whose life is snowboarding! Good luck at the Olympics and bring home the gold!

I think it's no fair you have such awesome hair! I watched you at the x games and that was a pretty hardcore fall, i wouldn't have been able to get back up and compete. Way to be man! Good luck at the olympics and bring home the gold!

sup cracka. youse is dope.

I just want to let you know that Im gonna marrie ya ! ;]

This pic is totally wicked!!!! Ur an 'mazin athlete and ur tricks r off the chain:) Luv ya<3

hey shaun i just wanted to let u know that i also did alot of school projects on you. A speech for speech class, two art projects, a french project, and a poem for english. You are an inspiration. Thats for being even more amazing.

I scroll down this list thinking hm maybe i'll find some other people who just feel that boarding is all there is in life. And all i see is a bunch of people who just want to meet soemone famous, for some reason or another. I want to meet you because if you became my friend you could help me become an et-least somewhat famous snowboarder. So i could convince my parents to let me move to mammoth! Im 13 almost 14 and i love snowboarding and i could do almost anything i want to in life (lawyer, astronaut, whatever) but, i want to be a snowboarder because sports have always been my passion and snowboarding is my first TRUE love! --Do you have any tips on how to get a career in snowboarding or to just get found?--

Hey shaun you are truley an inspiratin to me and I just wanted to let you know that I'm writing about you for my Hero paper in English.plainly because you are my hero! Thanks for being so amazing!!

Relaxing in the pool in Bali, just my wife and I, suddenly some dude jumps in as well. Me, a skier who has skied maybe 8 times from Western Australia (No Snow Here!!) I have never shown an interest in Boarding, strike up a conversation and it turns out this Dude is The Great Man himself. Shaun, i would like to thank you for the photo opportunity which allowed me to win the contest with my teenage boys for "Photo with the most famous person" they were spewing because they new who you were immediately and the best photo they got was with an Aussie Rules Footballer (AFL). I may not have known who you were, but i do now. Hope you enjoyed your holiday (And anonymity) Cheers & thanks for allowing our invasion of your privacy once again. Todd Perth Western Australia.
