Mini Bio:
Professional snowboarder, skateboarder. Shaun Roger White born on September 3, 1986 in San Diego, California. Born with a congenital heart defect, White had two cardiac surgeries before the age of five. He first got into skateboarding after following his older brother, Jesse, to the nearby Encinitas YMCA. After he took up snowboarding at the age of six, his mother ordered him to slow down by telling him he could only board backwards, or switch, a skill that would help further his career.With board sports becoming increasingly popular each year, the dual-threat Shaun White is at the top of the sport. Not only is White a world-class skateboarder—winning two X-Games gold medals on the vert ramp—but he is an even better snowboarder, winning 11 X Games medals and his crowning achievement, a pair of gold medals at both the 2006 and 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
