Skateboarding helps a ton with balance, precision, with air awareness... it gets your senses to be spot-on and it's also a great way to take my mind off things.

More quotes by Shaun White
It's a pretty heavy thing that happens to me when I'm at competitions. I get so sucked in, I can't really turn it off.
Shaun White
The hardest thing about skateboarding is consistency: The slightest flick of your foot or gust of wind can send your board flying, so it's really anybody's game out there.
Shaun White
I want to perform well.
Shaun White
My mom was a waitress, and my dad was a plumber who worked for the City of San Clemente fixing mains breaks, so not too glamorous.
Shaun White
When I came back to skating, everyone was like 'Oh you're the snowboard guy.'
Shaun White
Competition pushes me to improve. If I see someone do a big trick, I try it.
Shaun White
My dad got me a huge board when I was little. He loves to surf. He suited me up and sent me out on this huge wave. I went under, and when I came out and the board hit me in the face. So I said, I never wanted to do this again. I stayed away until I was 13.

You're either down or you're up.
Shaun White
When I was 12 years old, I was hanging out with 23-year-olds. I was into cartoons and Pokemon, and they're all talking about girls. It was a strange way to grow up.
Shaun White
Snowboarding's tough, because you've got to go to the mountains. For me, I love the skateboard season because I get to hangout at home and still be skating. I don't have to travel to Norway or Japan or these crazy places to be snowboarding.
Shaun White
I trip walking down the stairs, but I can skate them probably.
Shaun White
Trick names are so ridiculous!
Shaun White
If skating got into the Olympics, I would be tempted to hold off on shredding for a year and just skate, to make that my new goal. In that sport, I'm still the underdog.
Shaun White
I totally forget about snowboarding in the summertime.
Shaun White
I'm proud of the U.S.A. We've done some amazing things. To wear our flag in the Olympics is an honor.
Shaun White
My friends ask me why I still live with my family, but I feel comfortable there. We've all been through so much together.
Shaun White
There are plenty of skills I've learned from playing video games. It's more interactive than watching TV, because there are problems to solve as you're using your brain.
Shaun White
I've always been a guy who wants to play sports, not watch them.
Shaun White
I am pretty bow-legged. It's annoying.
Shaun White
Now that I have the knowledge and I can speak to programmers better and I understand a lot more about what's possible and what's not possible, this will all help with the next game.
