If you eat the same cereal every day it's gonna get old. And if I had thought about snowboarding every day, I would have quit a long time ago. - Shaun White
When you think about it, we're strapping strange planks of wood to our feet and launching off of giant snow walls. It's pretty intense. - Shaun White
What drives me now is the fact that I feel like I still have so many tricks that I want to learn and so many things that I can still do. And so many cool things outside of sports that I have been doing. - Shaun White
What does it mean to be a snowboarder? It's about having fun, with your friends or by yourself. It's about pushing yourself to try new things and do the unexpected. Finally, and most importantly, it's about being creative. - Shaun White
We all started snowboarding in the beginning as a family just to be closer together, go on trips. It was our soccer, but instead of Dad yelling at me from the sideline he is there riding with me and hitting the jumps even before I am hitting them. - Shaun White
The Olympics is really awesome, but for some snowboarders, it's not the biggest thing in the world. - Shaun White
The Olympics are kind of weird. You have to be on a team. That's cool if you're a skier. But in snowboarding, you just want to be your own person. - Shaun White
The boarding I do is pretty strenuous and because I'm so active I really don't have to work out too often. - Shaun White
Snowboarding's tough, because you've got to go to the mountains. For me, I love the skateboard season because I get to hangout at home and still be skating. I don't have to travel to Norway or Japan or these crazy places to be snowboarding. - Shaun White
Man, I hate that trick. There are times when you're just spinning and you totally lose track of where you are. You don't know where you're going to land. You only hope you're still in the pipe. - Shaun White
It's kind of like a training ground, ... But I just have so much fun here. I can come here to learn new tricks during my summer, and I don't need a whole mountain for that. It's tight, fresh and new. This is the first place in the world to give the people who ride here exactly what they want. - Shaun White
If you're going off a 90-foot jump, you can't say: 'Oh, I don't want to do this now.' You're going no matter what. - Shaun White
I love snowboarding, but I would never want to do it competitively or at a professional level. Snowboarding is a spawn of skating, and skating is my passion. - Tony Hawk
I was so stoked I got it out early. I was nervous because I fell on the first hit of my first run, but I didn't care that much because I knew I had a better run in me. I practiced this run before and made it really sketchy. I was barely hanging on, but it just came together for me tonight. It seems to happen in contests for me. - Shaun White
I personally think skateboarding is harder because it has so many moving parts. With snowboarding, your feet are strapped to your board. - Shaun White
I love the sport of snowboarding so much, but I just don't want to talk about it, ever. - Shaun White
I know my family and I would always go up to the mountains just for fun. We always skied. Then, all of a sudden, my brother started snow boarding. Older brother thing, I had to do what he was doing. So I started snow boarding. - Shaun White
