Jimmy gives Shaun a gift from his son Billy who had the same heart surgery that Shaun had, and Shaun talks about meeting some of his younger competitors, what makes snowboarding more difficult as you age, falling on his last run and finishing fourth, contemplating a return and the idea of retiring, going to the Super Bowl, an old interview from his teenage years where he claims he was drinking Mountain Dew, cutting his hair because of Carrot Top.

    I didn’t know he was so young! I’m only 3 yrs younger but he’s so epic and hugely talented that he seems older and more experienced. I totally get why at the beginning they mentioned how the announcers acted as if he was Bob barker

    Shaun White is a better-looking version of Chip from the ’60s TV show “My Three Sons.”

    Shaun white is a hero to gingers and not-exactly-Americas-expectation-of-handsome, men everywhere.
    Ya…I know knee jerk disagree comment people.
    You’re going to argue and say that “what are you talking about, he is handsome”. But you get the point. He’s not Ryan Reynolds or Gosling. He’s not Chris Pratt, Pine, or Hemsworth. But he still has his own form of sexy that he owns and gives encouragement to guys like me.

    You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks and months overthinking the past. Trying to put together pieces, imagining what could’ve been, should’ve been or would’ve been. Or you can pick up the pieces off the floor and move on as a stronger, smarter person
