- 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!

#TheBombHole #ShaunWhite - Sport
Its impossible to overstate what the Bomb Hole provides to this community. This is a conversation about a person and their legacy that we have desperately needed for 20 years. The same ppl who hate on Shaun are the same ppl who begged their parents to buy them a Dragon or a SW Pro Model. I was there, I saw them do it. We ALL wanted to be him. The honesty and the courage to face this narrative speaks to his character, and also to the BOMB HOLE PLATFORM. This podcast is saving Snowboarding.
Couldn’t have said it better myself sir, great comment.
Thank you so much for the kind words!!
Ditto 💯
I'm a lifetime skier and share the appreciation. Thanks for bringing us their stories!
Shaun White on natural selection! Game on!
That would be interesting
I would love to see it! T Ricky already had him on the radar. It’s gonna happen
I wouldn’t put him past him, if he felt confident. It’s either he would play it safe, with no chance of winning, or go all out.
He’s too competitive to throw it away. Bet he’s been training for that style riding already
That would be fun to watch, haven’t seen many vids of him shredding pow
All the younger generation probably think Shaun was just the best at pipe, but don't know that he literally won all Slopestyle and pipe comps at the same time and wins Skate vert Gold at Xgames in the summer. Shaun's a unicorn
I know. I didn't hear all of the SW hate because as a rider myself riding in the 90s... I was hearing about him before the legend was made. Terje killed it before em. Times in snowboarding changed soo quick. I am just starting to learn the newer guys.
Add to that the ability to spin to win and keep at least one super stylish trick in his run. His sky hook as a set up trick was so sick.
@@Brandon-qy4rs Fringe activities/sports always throw shots at the elite ones sticking out from the pack. It happens in punk rock, rap, fashion. The ones standing out get the most critics for being a smooth criminal. Its always fun to watch.
So glad Jones is there for this.
Stoked Jeremy could be in the booth for this one!
Was there beef before? I want to know! recently got into snowboarding.
Oh no I don't think so, just cool that they were both the big dogs at Burton for some good times@@mackybernardo9390
Yeah I think Jones chiming in really helps put things in to perspective
This had to happen but I wasn’t ready. You guys really are the definitive snowboard platform. I want mini vids of you ripping with the guests.
Thanks for the kind words! It would be rad to do some ride days with past guests!
I second the ride days! Great reco
My 22 year old would kick my ass for saying this but wow. This humanized him so much and shows there are two sides to every story. Snowboarding needs you guys. So well done and such a great conversation
💯
@@MLife1000 That's exactly what I'm thinking after just 30 minutes of watching 🤘
So amazing how you just listened and let the man talk. You asked the questions when needed and stayed quiet otherwise.
Yeah, kudos, guys. I noticed this as well. Sign of good hosts! Really appreciate your work. Love what you’re doing. Truly uplifts our community.
Ditto 💯
I wouldn't be a snowboarder without Shaun's impact on me as a kid. Thank you for giving me snowboarding, Shaun. Forever indebted. Great ep, BH crew.
Thanks for tuning in!
So hating on Shaun isn’t supported by the industry anymore. About time. Someone tell Donna. Great interview team!
Lol no one in the industry even gives a fuck about him
I’m ready for Shaun White’s POW era!
Loved Shaun's rebuttel to Donna. The audacity of her coming at him for moving product when that is literally her life's work.
Yes! Handled with such directness and diplomacy on his end. Mad respect, Shaun!
how dare he sell stuff too!!!!! lol
What chapter ?
Alientation and Disconnection chapter, which starts at 40 mins and lasts to 1 hour mark. I don't know where within the chapter it was @@glowladies2993
alienation and disconnection @@glowladies2993
Brilliantly done by Grendy bringing up the core snowboarder stuff so graciously
?
What a heater of an episode, thanks everyone. Take care gang !
Thanks for tuning in!
My crew at snow summit/bear mtn in the 90’s knew he was gonna be something special. We were around 16 and he was like 7 or 8 doing hot laps in the westridge park with us. Hitting all our lines, and momma white yelling at him to be careful. Little shredder with is mushroom head helmet haha You da man Shaun 💪🏽
I heard these stories on my rounds other places too. Ran into Kass at Okemo late 90s.
Heavy day!!! Frothing on this one!
The interview everyone wanted!! Loved this! Bombhole giving us hammers again and again. And Shaun Natural Selection who wouldnt tune in to see that, make that happen. And the best snowboarders also have skateboard backgrounds, it helps. You have to get Terje on here. The homage Shaun gives to his mentors props.
Get him on natural selection already!!!!
Great episode!!!👏👏👏
great job bombhole! shaun definitely earns respect for sitting in that chair i think hes solid guy btw jeremy should be full time co-host he does a great job and you two make a great team lfg : )
Jeremy Jones > Than Everyone
I still think E-stone was the best
@@haseebr7438 nah not me i prefer jones but to each there own : )
@@haseebr7438 wasn’t even thinking about Buds. Still stand by it. Jones is the best fit, hands down. Should have always been him.
Jones sucks as a co host he's never said a single interesting or articulate thing in the show
This is a great episode. Shawns very well composed, very humble seeming. Also love seeing Jeremy up there and hearing more of his perspective, such a chiller.
Very nice to hear his perspective. I’ve been a Shaun hater for a long time. I feel like with a step back, we can agree that it was exaggerated. Quite surprised no one brought up the boot grab though. Thanks again for opening fellow snowboarders perspectives and hearing him explain his reality in all this. Great episode!
Lol boot grab, with or without high back s? : -)
They kinda joked about the boot grab. It was when he was talking about how tight those pants were. One of them mentioned it would be hard to bend down and grab beyond the boot.
The bomb hole has become a sacred church for our culture, let’s protect it at all costs. Love the JJ wisdom and his insightful vibes as of late!
Huge Respect for Jeremy Backing Up Shaun!!
Jones being here for this one just makes sense... love it
Stan would have been a much better choice.
NATTY-NATTY-NATTY-NATTY-NATTY-NATTY! I’ve held some criticism of SW cause of the snowboarding zeitgeist told me what to think, but as I matured and understood human nature more, the more I understood what greatness takes. We should ALL welcome him with open arms with whatever he brings fourth to the community.
What is greatness? Medals?
@@brianp9268 Distinguished, eminent, top of the competitive game, born with an innate work ethic to succeed. Medals …there ok but not the true measure of greatness, plenty of great athletes have never won the top prize and are still considered great.
@@tjdad13 And the greatest people I know aren’t hyper competitive or push people away because of a competition. Its just about personal philosophy and I don’t really believe a person can chase ‘greatness’ what ever that is, by riding wood on snow.
He hit the nail on the head describing it as “high school” behaviour… dudes an entrepreneur, grew up quick and had his head on his shoulders, ahead of his time. Gatekeeping is lame, snow, skate, surf, music… snow bros we’re just jealous, if they had half the opportunities to secure the bag that he had they’d have done snowboarding so dirty.
For all the hype - Shaun is truly underrated. A great steward of the sport.
Turns out, he’s a good dude. Glad he spoke up here. Great chat BH! 🤙🏼
I’ve always been a fan. Dedicated, focused, well spoken - others hated his success but I was so proud of him. He deserves all he has!
I was die hard Frends crew fan, bought 100% into this not core narrative. This really brought it full circle. Might be the most misunderstood dude in snowboarding.
Alley-oop back 7 off the heels over the channel that T-Ricky bodied is an underrated snowboard moment. Great chat.
SW is core to the sport in his Own Way. There isnt a cookie cutter mold for snowboarding or being a Pro. Gotta Respect SW for paving his path his own way.
One of my favorite memories of snowboarding was seeing Shaun’s double mctwist 1260 at the US Open in Stratton for the first time.
When Shaun and Travis were pushing things it was a special time, they inspired a lot of people. Big respect and looking forward to what you will do for the sport.
Wow! This is the reason we need podcasts like you Bomb Hole. We live in days where sport journalists are hungry just for making somedy a cartoon character instead of tell the whole story. In 39:50 I got goosebumbs. How he defined the process of isolation it was mindblowing.
Can we take a vote to have Shaun legally change his name to Shaun "I'm talking about Mnt Dews Baby" White
I listened to the whole thing and I just wanna say I've got a new respect and appreciation for you Shaun for everything you've done for the sport and also apologize because I realized I've fallen into that useless talk in the past of like oh he's not core enough or whatever which came from basically just a lack of knowledge and naivety. Hearing about how you turned down sponsors that wouldn't represent the sport well and how you pushed back against the party and drugs scene in favor or hard work and safekeeping your career a bit shows a lot of character I think. Hats off
Amazing episode. Very smart from him to wait for the right opportunity to talk, avoiding (or trying to) all the celebrity obsessed US media machine. Even show more of his character. Liked that a lot. The best for you Shaun.
Your impact on the lives of other people is your legacy Shaun! I grew up watching you snowboard and had every xgames recorded on tape and on repeat.
That was a really great listen!
I never really had the greatest image of him back in the day, but was great to hear all those stories and his views on things with some distance. Definitely bringing a new appreciation for what he's done for the sport.
Thanks Shaun!
And thanks guys for bringing such a great podcast to us!
Not enough can be said about how difficult it is to throw such spins with that stance width 🤯🎸🙌
His snowboard tech was eyeballing his stance! hahahahah Amazing
I know Shaun is a lightning rod person in shredding, but there’s no denying that his talent was and is next level, once in a generation. While I may not like the spin to win era that he is largely responsible for kicking off and prefer the stilo of a Michalchuk to a double cork 1440, he did what the judges were rewarding and is a true competitor.
There’s also no telling where snowboarding would be worldwide without him bringing such international hype to the pipe. Pretty insane to think about really.
Finally, a peer gave Michalchuck his flowers.
There’s a reason why he’s a sellout….
My thoughts exactly man.
Shaun white is a top 3 snowboarder of all Fing Time !!!
I live in Florida so obviously not a snowboarder, however I grew up on Shaun white. Super cool to see him have this kind of come to Jesus meeting with the culture. Also this podcast is rad.
Very stoked for this one!
Great episode from a guy undoubtedly on the snowboarding Mount Rushmore. Core lords are furious
Big love to Shaun. He definitely inspired me to ride. Thank you Shaun and bomb hole!
This is awesome guys. I love every one of your conversations, and this is a heavy one! Thank you for what you do.
So awesome to hear from you, Shaun!
This was sick guys! Shaun is legendary and I love seeing him existing as part of the community. The dude has inspired so many people to ride.
This is one of the best episodes. 🤘
Great episode, been wanting this to happen for a long time now. Was great to hear his story from his perspective!
I didn’t want, I NEEDED a guest question from Stan on this one 😂
Two things him in natty would be awesome and the fact he read and said Shaun Wide litterally made me bust out laughing 😂 awesome episode… glad to see him shredding while retired and loving it and still in the community!
we need a group chat epidsode with shaun and danny davis asap
That was one of my most favorite interviews of all time. Real things that really needed to be said.
Snowboarding is so fun.
Hope you guys can get Terje or Jussi to have a chat as well
I would just like to say as a lifelong skateboarder and snowboarder and father, the wife and I loved Shaun’s Target line. The clothes were dope for kids definitely a Skeeter vibe. We always loved it.
Loved this one , shoutout to Shaun
Tremendous respect to everyone on this one. Much needed flowers to Shaun for everything he has done to the sport and evolving the core community.
Cheers!!!
Yeeess! This was a good one! Growing up, Shaun White was my biggest idol, so it was really cool to have him talk about that era of time! The Bomb Hole, you guys rock!!
Loved every minute of the conversation - what a great episode.
That was a damn good interview. I think people give him a hard time for being so good. He worked hard, was (is) a core boarder, congrats to him. Solid guy. Really enjoyed this one.
Seemed almost therapeutic for shaun to be able to say those things. Cheers great sode.
Loved this episode. Always been a fan of Shaun. Stoked to get more insight into his life and him as a person. Also stoked to hear we share the same fav board graphic and same fav riders style. Thanks Bomb Hole for bringing this episode to us all and thanks Shaun!
Thank you for doing this episode!! And thank you Shaun for telling us your story.
Thanks for getting him here! sick episode!
Damn, this was really good. Props Shaun, so many great memories of you crushing. So happy to hear your side of all this emotional drama. Being misrepresented is such a hard pill to swallow, glad you are making great choices.
Big thank you from Korea. My wife is from Alaska so anything snowboarding is a win. I surprised her with the a trip to the Korean warm ups before the Olympics. Getting to watch Shaun White ride in person earned me major brownie points for life. We have spent the past week over in Gamgwon Do riding such a good memory.
Yes! Great one guys!
This is pretty damn epic!
Thank you for everything you did for the sport. Xgames and competitive snowboarding (probably) peaked when you were at your peak. I hope it gets back to that someday.
Thanks for the new show.
Thanks to Shaun's impact there are more people enjoying snowboarding today, and making this community we love so much bigger.
that was cathartic! felt like some shade was lifted to reveal a whitespace!! hahah! great show, thank you!!
You're a bonafide stud if you don't know the songs to your own video parts. If I had a video part I'd watch it every day before I went to bed and when I woke up in the morning.
Thanks for everything you have done for snowboarding and skateboarding you are the man. Late.
I was never really a Shaun fan... until now 🙌 Great episode, and great to hear his perspective on things. I have a lot of respect for him after hearing this. Would love to see him at Natural Selection!
Shaun White is a G , people that talk shit about this kid are just haters.
Hell Yeah Bomb Hole, that was dope! Keep up the good work Shaun!
Great listen, nothing but respect, thanks Shaun.
Fiancée?! Congratulations Chris.
What a great episode. Awesome to hear it from his perspective. Very genuine, honest and a polite person.
I just saw the Red Gerard pod a few weeks ago. You guys mentioned how Shaun might not ever make it on to the podcast. Glad you guys made it happen!
Such a good podcast. Shaun is a huge inspiration for the sport and an amazing dude ! Cool to watch and listen
Thanks for everything Shaun thanks bombhole
Thanks shaun!!
A 2 hour episode and we don’t know if they were Mtn Dews on the plane!
Jones and Chris are both superb in the way they presented the questions and their ability to listen is second to none
And both great snowboarders in their own right! This was a great interview, Shaun really is an amazing dude ! We are all blessed to have him around, those who don’t realize this will eventually. Reminds me of Mx , Jeremy McGrath is a perfect example of a great giving back to the sport that gave him so much.
Loved the episode. Thanks to Shaun to opening up and giving us an honest take on his career and past. The Canadian snowboarder busted for weed was Ross Rebagliati. I met him a few years ago. He's such an awesome dude.
Damn, completely changed my mind on the homie Shaun. Love it.
Been waiting awhile for this one. Need a Halldor episode
OMG. FINALLY!!!!!
Great one Ride on!!!
When i started snowboarding in the late 80s early 90s, half pipe runs were a challenge to just navigate the lumps and chanels carved in the wall. Now runs and riders are precise like a figure skater where body position is held to rigid standard
A true legend, period
Watching Shaun on Blippie with my 2 year old son and then this has been a nice refresher that Shaun rocks.
Love seeing that Shaun is a Speedmaster guy.
big respect to shaun white, he's pushed the sport further to make it easier for all of us to continue there is no doubt about that.
Excellent episode!
Oh my god hearing Shaun talk about Mt Hood made my week! I saw Shaun at High Cascade and was definitely running with a crowd that was perpetuating the Shaun doesn’t have a personal style mentality.
I can remember seeing him in Govy and wanting to say hi and maybe even ask for a picture, but the pressure was to just ignore that he was there. I respect the hell out of this conversation, the bomb hole has really made a space for me to reminisce about the whole lifestyle and just rowdiness we all got into. I didn’t expect a podcast to make me reflect on myself and grow as a snowboarder while not even strapped in.
Shaun, you do have steez, an apology from a Govy gal that wishes we just would have asked you to come party at Charlie’s or the Rat just once.
GREAT episode, very well done Chris and Jeremy!
Let's stop the hate and narrative...Let's just appreciate Shaun for what and how he has influenced Snowboarding
