Shaun White, The Olympics and Skateboarding

Follow me on:

Shaun WhiteSo Shaun White's still got it!  As I write this, America has 6 gold medals in the Winter Olympics, and one of those belongs to pro-boarder Shaun White.  He's insanely talented ... to be a pro snowboarder AND skateboarder ... wow.  I hope you saw his run (if you didn't you can watch Shaun White's run here) - he had already clenched the gold by his last run, so it was just for fun.  And of course, it was still awesome.  So far, no one has mastered the art of boarding in the way that Shaun has.

You can also check out the Shaun White photo gallery for pics of him skateboarding and snowboarding.

Thinking about this brings up the question, what about skateboarding in the Olympics?  I have a blog post that talks about it - Skateboarding in the 2012 Olympics, and it has EXPLODED with comments!  Check it out and see what you think.  There are a lot of people passionate on both sides of this thing.  So, to help see where people are, I made a new poll:
