Shaun White's First Skateboarding Gold: X GAMES THROWBACK | World of X Games

- It's no secret that Shaun White is a groundbreaking snowboarder. But you might not realize that back in the day, Shaun was also pushing the envelope in Skateboard Vert at X Games. In fact, Shaun skated for Tony Hawk's Birdhouse brand before breaking out on his own, and even received his own Birdhouse pro model in 2007, just months before winning his first Skateboard Vert gold at X Games. This is a look back at that performance.

#XGames #ShaunWhite #Skateboarding - Sport
People might think snowboarding and skating is the same, but they are two different challenges. To win in BOTH is amazing.
He seems pretty good he should try snowboarding
This is a joke right?
@@savagecracker1382 yup.
I hope its a joke 😂
He would be great in super pipe snowboarding! Maybe someday he will win gold medals in the Olympic Games and X Games!
@@savagecracker1382 it’s not a joke.....
Who else dominated an entire X Games discipline, Snowboard Halfpipe, like forever...
And in between wins X Games Gold in an entire different sport...
SHAUN WHITE
Shawn Palmer
What a talent...his first to runs were so pure and creative...and then he came clutch on his last run when you can clearly see him setting up and planning his every move
Oh my gawd... he on Xgame mode
Shaun I just showed my 4 year old grandson this video , and he said you are freaking cool. Now he wants to learn how to skate board just like you and watch more of your videos. Love you Shaun
Would be cool if X Games would post the full events of all the past X games. I wanna see that build up to the Travis Pastrana double flip! Please X Games, make that happen and continue to release more full events
Bro that last trick was insane
Now let's see some snowboarding next💪🏼
no, skiing
@@Zkel__ That would be cool if he could Crossover for Gold in Skiing too👌🏼
@@Frankwallfitness lol that would be awesome
@@Zkel__ he’s a snowboarder.
@@MysteriousFella Yea i know I was just imagining
Back when times were good...
Dude is one of the most clutch athletes of all time
I just watched his olympic gold run and I'm surprised but also not surprised at how identical the runs were
I remember watching this. The ‘07 X games was the first x games I ever watched on tv.
Cool. I remember watching this Live as well as BMX Big Air(Which came on Fri. Night, the day after Skb. Big Air.) And Sal wound up saying after the BMX Big Air final ended, something about it being a "safe show" since Jake Brown slammed the night before. Skateboard Big Air, seeing Jake Brown Slam, (my reaction at first) I was like "DANG IT, WHY DIDN'T I RECORD THIS!" AND I was just like, "I have to get it next year, I have to get it next year, I have to get it next year." And I've recorded every one since for Skateboarding. So I guess it gave me motivation to just record it every year since you never know for sure how it will be, you can't go like, "Oh, this athlete's not in it this ain't going to be any good. Sometimes, It winds up being better than ever without that athlete in a way, since all the guys really stepped up that year". And I've recorded allot of Every BMX Big Air since 2011. Basically I remember thinking at the beginning of Skateboard Big Air in 2007, that since Danny Way wasn't in it It wouldn't be any good, and I was way off, since there was some great stuff that wound up going down. I didn't have a DVR back then so I didn't get a choice to click record on the DVR, then decide later if I wanted to transfer the footage from the DVR onto a VHS Tape(I didn't have a DVD Recorder yet at the time.)
Lol now I know how my parents feel. This is a throwback? I swear I just watched this yesterday haha
Danny duncan killed it!!!!
At this time If I'm remembering correctly, Shaun had won the first 2 Ast (Dew Tour) Dew Tour Vert Comp's (The Panasonic Open, then The Right Guard Open) before this. then after this just a week or so later won The Van's Invitational on the AST (Dew Tour) Dew Tour. And by end of The Vert Comp. at The Toyota Challenge in Sept. it was announced he was The 2007 Dew Cup Champion since he was able to clench just 1 or 2 points (I think). And I can't remember for certain, but he might have got 3rd. in that Comp. with Pierre Luc Gagnon getting the Win, and I think Bucky Lasek getting 2nd. , then possibly 3rd. again at The Playstation Pro in Orlando Florida at The AST Dew Tour (Dew Tour). I remember he had this freak fall where he messed up on a trick going over a bridge of death/ and or a channel and hit his head on or near the flat bottom and wasn't able to finish skating for the rest of the Comp. and Pierre Luc Gagnon got 2nd.(If I'm remembering correctly) and Bucky Lasek got the win in that Comp. (just after his Wife gave birth to I think his youngest daughter at the time, who would be turning 14 this year.) So Shaun White got 4 big Vert Wins in a row that year. I feel that 2007 was Shaun's best year (in Skateboarding), with 2010 being his 2nd. best (since he got 3 Win's in a row on The Dew Tour that year., and Silver at @X Games) And 2011 being his 3rd. Best since he Won his 2nd. Gold in Skateboard Vert at @X Games 17 Los Angeles 2011, with I think 2 or 3 podium runs in Dew Tour. It would be cool if Shaun White came back to Vert at @X Games someday.
This makes me want to start snowboarding
this is classic and i love it i love this video X games
720 on the last run was amazing
Would like to see the 2007 Big Air event, so nostalgic
I remember Sal Masekela saying at the beginning of this contest something, like "The man on deck, Caw Caw The Hawk, Tony Hawk is gonna drop by..." And when I heard that I thought it meant Tony Hawk was going to be competing in vert for the first time since 1999, and competing at @X Games for the first time since 2003 when he won Vert Best Trick Gold with a 900(In Time), but he actually must've meant that he was simply going to be in the booth as a guest and there was going to be footage of him along with a bunch of other Legendary Pro's for what Sal called "The first ever Legends Session". where there were guys like Christian Hosoi (The first guy to ever do a Christ Air, and a Rocket Air), Steve Caballero( Who last competed at @X Games in Street at @X Games 5 San Francisco 1999, and the first to do a Caballerial), Steve Steadham (who was doing some great BS Bonelesses, and tried this crazy Handflip Boneless which looked sick who also put the whole Legends event together or something I heard Sal Masekela say, He was also in the first Bones Brigade Video shown skateboarding Vert (Pool/ Bowl) with Tony Hawk at Del Mar Skate Ranch(If I'm remembering correctly, in The Bones Brigade Video Show from 1984), Mike Mcgill (The inventor of the McTwist, as well as McEgg( a 540 Egg plant, the only other people to ever do that trick as far as I know are Bucky Lasek who may have first did it in 2009 at The Dew Tour, and Tony Hawk who I believe can/ has done them switch.), Chris Miller (who's in the booth commentating alongside Tony Hawk, Jim Coleman, and Sal Masekela), Lester Kasai (A good friend of Hawk's from the '80's), Dwane Peters (The Inventor of the Indy Air, as well as being known as The Master Of Disaster), and also Kevin Staab who has Toured with Tony Hawk allot in the past, nearly 40 years now, and is in the first Bones Brigade Video from 1984 titled The Bones Brigade Video Show along with Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen, Steve Caballero, Mike Mcgill, Stacy Peralta, Adrian Demain, Steve Steadham, and there may have been more I might just not be remembering right now. As far as I know The Legends Session wasn't a contest, it was a demo, so there wasn't any Medals given out.
The first board I ever owned was your board. Keep ripping!
👏 What a run!!!! 🏆👊
that last run is goosebumps....wow
3:15 props to him for still watching despite X Games thinking of Jesse nothing more than a bother to Shaun
Stop bothering me
I remember seeing Shaun white skateboards back in the day and I thought they were a joke. I always knew he was a sick snowboarder never knew he also is a ridiculously good skateboarder.
This man is insane
He should try snowboarding.
3:49- 4:03, my favorite @metallica song, Enter Sandman playing. SICK!
Does anyone hate this dude? He just rules.
Shaun white the double gold skateboard vert and snowboard superpipe
Amazing performance!
You can always tell Shauns riding....the arm pumps at the bottom of the pipe is a dead givaway...noone gets air like shaun
Wow letting it air out!
The comeback king.
Wow! That was awesome! :)
Fast forward to 17’ when on his last run Pierre he topped Luc who had a 91.xx to win Gold… 🤯
Cawabunga bro! Perpetual pistachio posibility!
If I’m not mistaken, Shaun White has a total of 15 X Games gold medals 13 in the Winter X Games and 2 in the Summer X Games.
This will give You 234 years
Bro Danny Duncan go crazy‼️🤣🤣🤣
Back when X Games were still sick.
Shaun white is king of skateboarding and snowboarding
My favorite @Mountain Dew Logo in the background. My second favorite, the logo they had from 1997, or 1996- 1997. Hey @X Games, I've wondered how come you guys stopped being sponsored by Mountain Dew after 2007, or 2008 Winter X Games, then stopped being sponsored by @Taco Bell after 2010 Winter X Games, then stopped being sponsored by @Burger King after 2010 Summer @X Games?
Kid shreds so hard.
I miss Tony Hawk and Chris Miller doing the commentary.
Seriously
gave me chills
Nice skateboard 🛹, Shaun White.
Shaun White IS VERY AMAZING like Tony Hawk
Mountain Dew baby!
Real legend

and now we got the cool japanese guy whose name I dont remember. Gold halfpipe olympics and competed in skateboarding at olympics. Amazing only.
I hope he comes back to vert
In the movie they predict shaun a Victory and they said it like 5 years before! Tony hawk said one day shaun white will win x games skateboard
So good that people look mad at him, like an asian performing a music piece
TH is an announcer now??
Shaun White should be in a hall of Fame with likes of Einstein and Jordan pinical of the human species
Seems pretty good fa
04:08 Maybe the best run in professional vert skating ever. Correct me.
Bob Burnquist
Flying Tomato! =)
Goodtimes
1:03
I'm sorry if I seem behind the times....but what year did this happen??? Neither the description NOR any of the comments mentioned what XGames this was NOR the year.....
Christian Hosoi next Level
Noice
Why there is nothing about PLG i mean i mean him shaun and bucky had some of the best rivalries

Rodeo 5
what year was this??? such a talented bloke as only knew him as a snowboarder
2007
@@rottensosa thank you
2007
1 year after he won gold on the winter Olympics. If skate was already an Olympic sport back then he could probably have won the Gold on Beijing 2008 also
Danny Duncan this kids everywhere these days
Low key looks like Danny Duncan
You mean Danny Duncan looks like him
He looks like Carrot Top
I know what you mean Shaun White
Dude all I see is Danny
Who knew that he’d be dating the most beautiful girl in the world later in life.
Now he’s rode off I to the sunset
