Algae Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 The Womens Downhill was just plain frightening. Looked like Nascar crashes. Shaun (named after Shaun Tomson, surfer from S. Africa) White was amazing. Goofy looking kid that has a great personality that belies that he is a great athlete. Nice guy who finishes first. Heard he made 9 million last year.

nnewhouse Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Yeah, before he skied his run the news was showing where he learned to perfect his tricks . . . . his own private half pipe in Colorado. Helicopter has to bring him in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectra Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Yeah' date=' before he skied his run the news was showing where he learned to perfect his tricks . . . . his own private half pipe in Colorado. Helicopter has to bring him in.[/quote'] He may have the cash to do his own thing but will give him credit for his ways of thinking. Even though he makes millions he still stays with all the athletes unlike the NBA guys didDOH! Also his take on fans is great he will not shun a kid as it happened to him as a child and he will not forget it. He will stay and sign whatevver it is or take a pic(rock2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason7504 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 yeah shawn white was rocking the half pipe its crazy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racefan Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Did anyone see the segment they did on him during 60 minutes a couples weeks or so ago? It was pretty good. Apparently he had crashed a Lamborghini (i think it was) once & when the interviewer asked him about it he got this kind of sheepish look on his face & said "yea there was a little problem with a tree once" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomekanic Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Yeah, I saw the half pipe, holy crap that kid is amazing. I loved the way his coach was going "Do IT! Do IT!" when it came to his second run and whether or not they were going to do the McTwisty thing. It was like little kids at Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
