White has managed to build successful careers in both snowboarding and skateboarding. Since going pro at the age of 13, he has won a wide variety of awards, including gold medals at the 2006 Winter Olympics and at the 2007 Summer X Games.
Whether he's flying up a half-pipe on his skateboard or whizzing through the air on a gold-medal snowboard run, Shaun White is one of the most exciting athletes in the world. In a competition, or making a public appearance, White's bright-red hair makes him hard to miss. Author John Albert Torres explains that there is more to White than his stunts and fame, such as his work with St. Jude's Children's Hospital and his goal to encourage kids to make healthier choices.
This informative volume provides a biographical overview of the life of two-time Olympic gold medalist snowboarder, Shaun White. Shaun has been riding boards since he was four years old, first a boogie board in the California surf, then a skateboard on his brother's ramp in the backyard, and finally a snowboard. He was so talented that, at seven years old, his parents entered him in his first amateur snowboarding contest, which he won. At thirteen he turned pro. Snowboarding was just the tip of the iceberg for this talented athlete. He soon also went pro in skateboarding and earned the nickname "The Flying Tomato," from his mentor, skateboarder Tony Hawk. Your readers will be inspired.
