I know my family and I would always go up to the mountains just for fun. We always skied. Then, all of a sudden, my brother started snow boarding. Older brother thing, I had to do what he was doing. So I started snow boarding. – Shaun White

If you do a trick and it doesnt work out, that can stick with you. I like to go back, nail the trick, and, OK, Im cool, its all good. – Shaun White
Snowboardings tough, because youve got to go to the mountains. For me, I love the skateboard season because I get to hangout at home and still be skating. I dont have to travel to Norway or Japan or these crazy places to be snowboarding. – Shaun White
