Reflections on the Snowboarding Industry and Competitiveness

Did he leave snowboarding or did snowboarding kick him out? Arguably the best to ever do it, Shaun White has accumulated dozens of medals including multiple Olympic golds and even two perfect 100 run scores in pipe. Wearing pants tighter than most and a stance wider than anyone else at the top of the pipe, he managed to make a truly timeless impact on the sport. For years he was miles ahead of the competition, going bigger and faster than the rest. Now he's focusing his energy on his new snowboard brand: Whitespace, and plans to be a part of the snowboard community for the foreseeable future. Find out where it all started, and possibly even where it all went wrong, on this week's monumental episode of The Bomb Hole!
