No skier is as big of a douchebag as the kid.  But as far as domination is concerend, maybe Vonn?

That question is the same one I've been asked, tones of times since everyone saw snowboard half pipe in the Olympics. God damn annoying if you ask me.

White can ride the mountain, maybe not comparable to Hall but thats all Hall has been doing for the past few years.

And I thought everyone was done with the skier vs. snowboarder hate but apparently not.

no one...which is why watching pipe skiing is actually interesting. there isn't someone who dominates every event or someone who wins year after year. it gets mixed up. in snowboarding, sure it's not guaranteed Shaun will win, but it's pretty likely

Wow, really? No one is saying it?
He was gone for a season, and no one remembers? I assume youre talking all around everywhere domination and not personality, and no one says it?

wow.

NS is gay.

from a business standpoint, this is arguably true.

I bet you a huge amount of skiers that do not snowboard buy a lot Shaun White related products (Burton clothing, Oakley, red bull etc...) because they've just as much been caught up in the Shwhite-Out as impressionable snowboarders. Consequently, Shaun White may have had a greater influence on consumer habits of the majority of skiers than any one pro skier.

are you fuckin retarded??

Dumont is nowhere near as dominant as sean white, Dumont didnt even do pipe this year at X ( i know he bailed, it just shows how much less inconsistent he is)

Right now most pipe skiier are throwing at least 2 different dubs, Dumont has 1
Dumont has never won x games slopestyle either
and dont tell me hes amazing because he won big air last year, his trick was sick, no doubt, but not as good as a sw dub 12

im not hating, im just explaining that he is not as dominant as sean white
this year sean white won X and the olympics hands down, pretty easily
dumon has only won 1 dew tour, and there was some controversy over the judging

dudemont is like shaun white in personality, sponsors (oakley, target, redbull) and in gaper appeal/sal masekela appeal.

Dumont and Hall are the two most known skiers in the homes of people that dont ski or dont ski often. They are the closest to Shaun White in the form of the name, not the personality.
