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
The hardest thing about skateboarding is consistency: The slightest flick of your foot or gust of wind can send your board flying, so it's really anybody's game out there. - 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 Olympics is really awesome, but for some snowboarders, it's not the biggest thing in the world. - Shaun White
There are plenty of skills I've learned from playing video games. It's more interactive than watching TV, because there are problems to solve as you're using your brain. - Shaun White
There's always room for improvement, but the judges are looking for big airs and stylish tricks. - Shaun White
There's not really anywhere I can go without being recognized, but if I put my hair up, that cuts the crowd in half. - Shaun White
This mom snapped on me. She said, 'You get out there, and you score!' And I was just like, 'Whoa!' When someone else's mom yells at you, it's pretty intimidating. - Shaun White
This was it: Before the X-Games, before the Olympics, this was the event. I've been showing up here since I was 7 years old. - Shaun White
To me, it's about getting better every time and doing the best I can every run no matter where I am. The Olympics are going to be huge, but I don't think the Olympics are going to make or break any rider. At the end of the day, it's just another contest with just a little bit more riding on it. - Shaun White
United [Airlines] sucks, man. I've got like a million miles and they never bump me to first class because they think I'm just a kid and give the seat to some schmoozy guy in a business suit. - Shaun White
Usually the thing that signifies that I'm done with the winter and all that is that I start skateboarding. - 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
Well, I just started to have some fun. Normally, I drop in and do another (move), but then I thought, 'This is the Olympics, I'll try some sprays.' - 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
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's really good is I'm riding really badly today. It's actually great because when I have a bad day it means I'm going to have a good day tomorrow. - Shaun White
When I was 12 years old, I was hanging out with 23-year-olds. I was into cartoons and Pokémon, and they're all talking about girls. It was a strange way to grow up. - Shaun White
When I went pro at 13, I had plenty of sponsors that give me endorsement deals and stuff like that. - Shaun White
When kids come up to me and say. 'I want to be like you,' it fires me up. It's pretty cool. - Shaun White
