Shaun White lands a double mctwist 12.

HAHA skiing landed it first, suck ittt. Dub cork 12 in the pipe anyone? its the same thing

Guess what kids, talking shit about someone hardworking, talented, and successful (who you've obviously never met), doesn't make you "core". It does however, make you sound jealous, petty, and insecure.

Not really a fan of Mr. White... but that was clean. Dude stomped it and i know none of you are doing anything like that.

sure its a good trick but...

I would generally agree with you, but your definiton of legacy isn't so great.  You used Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan?  Bleh.  Did you hear Michael Jordan's hall of fame induction speech?  Despite being one of the best athletes ever he is still a bitter, insecure person.  Muhummad Ali got punched so much he couldn't speak in an educated manner (before Parkinson's).  Howie Long is a legend just because he is on T.V.?  Most of the people that are actually legends you don't really hear much about or see them in the public eye.

Back to the topic.  If you actually know Shaun White and have had a few interactions with him then don't judge him.  He could be great, maybe he isn't a nice person.  But I wouldn't judge unless you know.

You guys all make some strong points, I didnt know the frends crew had there own pipe, but its still a crew riding together, enjoying, motivating eachother.  
   Jordan left basketball at his prime to persue baseball, he may have sucked, but he still gave it a try.  Jordan isnt insecure, he humble.    Ali, doesnt need to talk, he could/can intimidate anyone by his prescience alone and he changed the way people prepared for fights/comps.   Howie is a legend because you could place him anywhere on the defensive line or linebacker and he dominated.   He changed the way people saw d-line players.    Hes on TV because he loves football so much he just wants to be apart of it.  The video the pit, is the best video ever to to pump yourself up.    Legend give back to the sport by teaching others or want to be continually involved in it somehow.    You hear about many pros donating there time teaching others at windells or other camps.   How often do you hear about him doing that.  
   I have met alot of athletes and have trained with/ by alot of players.   When I was playing football, we had pro players who would come show techniques on how to be better players.   Everyone from linemen to kickers, to bds.   I have been to camps hosted by pro players who donated their time in the offseason to help prepare the next generation of players.   They have already achieved the ultimate goal of doing this for a living, they want nothing more than to teach others the lessons they have already know.
   I may not have met shaun white, but I dont think I would want to.   From what it seems like, those who have met him, say hes a dick and i dont need to meet someone like that.   I would much rather the pros who want to meet there fans and are happy to be in the position there in.  
   I may sound petty or all those other things that kid said but I expect more from him.   He has been living the dream for how long, his job is to have fun and snowboard, he could never win another comp for the rest of his career and hes set, people would buy the stuff because hes shaun white.   He is the one we watch and everyone wishes they could be like.   He should be training showing the younger athletes the best part of the sport.   Hes the face of snowboarding like dumont is of free skiing.   I just like how hes creating a level no athlete will be able to ever reach.   I have never been a fan of watching sports and already knowing who is going to win before it starts.   Shauns the best snowboarder in pipe and slopse style, maybe its time for him to try a different aspect of the sport.   Let it be lines, boarder X, or whatever.   I should word things better but im not sorry for my thoughts.  

Internet is serious business...Calm down.

it's funny 'cause he started the whole thing with "not to hate on shawn white, but"

I'll admit, I dont like the guy, but i try and say it the nicest way possible.    But I kinda get on rants.   I have been thinking about things very critically lately and its not the best on stuff like this.   The whole project X thing bothered me because not to many other athletes get that treatment and they all turn great.

you were definately hating on him

I am pretty sure this belongs in Non-Ski Gabber. Just pointing it out.

i hate sean white... his nick name is the flying fucking tomato...or the trick machine.. not the settze machine the god dam trick machine.. he has no style in my mind all he does his huck and hope for the best..

One thing he doesn't do hope for the best. To be able to land as much as he does he must be pretty calculated with. Im sure he probably spots the landing and stomps these doubles harder than i could ever stomp anything on skis.

i highly doubt he named himself the flying tomato, that was equally unfortunate as tony hawks, "the birdman". shit happens when you are on national television haha

i think this says it all... even if you hate him you have to give him props for this

it honestly didn't look as good as it sounded... that might be because of his weird monoski thing goin on... dont know about that shit... its kinda wack.

good

that just happened

haha holy shit I didnt realize all the 14 year olds on here got soo ignnaannt.

I think Danny Davis just put the flying tomato or whatever is his name in him place.   To bad he got hurt, hes the only guy whose beat him in how long.
