Shaun White will bring something new to the Beijing Olympics: his own snowboard. The three-time gold medalist is launching the Whitespace brand as he bids for his fifth berth on Team USA.

It’s a testament to the legacy of three-time Olympic gold medalist Shaun White that, with the Beijing Olympics just weeks away, the U.S. snowboarding team is so strong that among those struggling to qualify is…Shaun White.

White currently ranks fourth among Americans and is trying to lock down a discretionary bid on the U.S. men’s halfpipe team after dropping out of a recent event with lingering symptoms from a Covid-19 infection. He hopped a flight to Switzerland , where he’ll have one last chance this week to secure his world ranking and make the team. A few other U.S. riders are also going to the Laax Open in a final effort to earn rankings points.

i think it's shameful that anyone participated in this olympics. china is on some gang sh1t

I tried selling my book to raise funds to survive, like literally afford food and take care of my parents. I had over 18k profile visits, even half of them helped with $1 things would have worked out. Pls check my pinned tweet. If you can't read the book, still help. RT. HOPE

Never even seen nothing real in America yet, I’m a American and don’t have children and never needed mommy and daddy’s co sinuture’s so I’ve never had the opportunity.

Wait, are you allowed to say 'Whitespace' in 2022? I mean you can't say 'blacklist' or 'whitelist' or 'master bedroom' or even 'cakewalk.' Ugh.

Never had the opportunity, I’m a American so I’ve always been kept without.
