Backcountry Podcast | Ep. 17 | The Shaun White Story
Seeing as we’re the exclusive retailer of Shaun White’s snowboarding brand, WHITESPACE, it’s no surprise that we’re big fans of the guy. We figured it was about time to invite him on the podcast to talk about snowboarding’s history and the story of WHITESPACE.
Nils probes Shaun about his relationship with skateboarding and his early start on a professional snowboarding career. Shaun touches on pivotal moments in his career, like inventing new tricks and leaving Burton Snowboards. Check out the chapter timestamps below to jump around the conversation.
