I searchbarred an didn't find anything. I apologize if it's a repost!

Apparently, Shaun White is determined to be a douche in two disciplines.

“I really love to compete and I just thought it’d be super fun to see if I could hold my own across two disciplines.”

clicked on link>looked at post date>stopped reading.
seriously guys take everything you see on april fools with a pinch of salt. 99% of the time its a poor attempt at a joke. whether the OP is posting to troll or is just a victim of an april fools or not, i cant decide.

We're ahead of you guys. Haha.

Wasn't a troll...but, feel stupid now. Still, the 4th paragraph makes a good read, they give him a fair amount of shit.

Sorrrrrrrryyyyyyyyy.

He must be practicing in his own half pipe with all his friends (no one) out in the mountains. Too bad no one can watch him pizza down the pipe

Just from watching how skiing translates to boarding and vise-versa, I honestly don't think it would be that difficult to bring a double on one or the other to the opposite sport. Air awareness is the same, the only thing that changes is edge control and the direction your feet are positioned.

Which I would imagine counts for a lot... Especially for someone who's only ever skateboarded/snowboarded like shaun

Although there was that clip of twall tossing a backie on a snowboard, so maybe it isn't out of the question

there was a 14 y old kids who stomped a dub on snowboard and he also landed some misty7 and cork7 on skis so I guess it's possible
