[edit] The future looks bright for this young Olympian

An anon added this section, it's unsourced speculation that seems entirely inappropriate. I removed it. Grandmasterka 05:31, 21 March 2006 (UTC) Shaun White started Carson OWNS 16 May 2006 (UTC) -Shaunluvr

[edit] timeline issues

the article says "White first started snowboarding at age six in 1986" but it also claims he was born in 1986. what is the deal?--Geedubber 23:49, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Snowboarding Career cleanup

This section contradicts itself several times. One example is that White's mother put him on a snowboard to slow him down when he was apparently taking snowboard lessons from his father already. It also doesn't clearly state anything, a lot of the language is non-specific (he turned pro at skateboarding, but it didn't say at what age for example, and it seems to say that he turned pro at skateboarding at age 6 if you read it wrong).

Also nothing is cited.

[edit] On MySpace?

I recently saw his HP notebook commercial. He briefly stated that he had a MySpace.. does he really have one, or was it just for show?

He probably has one but would rather not have it released to the whole world. Also in a issue (i think august) of Snowboarder mag he was talking about how it was impossible to spell his name or something on ms. I actually found a myspace page thats very believable because some people who know him personally are friended on it (and their pages arent impersonated) but it doesnt have to be put out for the public.
