| Watch Shaun White's Appearances on Jimmy Fallon and the Today ShowShaun appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night to celebrate the 100 day countdown to the Vancouver Olympics, plug his new video game (the second edition of Shaun White Snowboarding) and tell the story behind Tony Hawk's twitter picture... the one where Tony spilled the beans with a picture of Shaun's awesome Halloween costume. Watch the clip here of Shaun's appearance courtesy of Hulu.com And while we're on the talk show tip, before his Late Night appearance yesterday Shaun made an early morning appearance on NBC's "Today Show". The Jimmy Fallon appearance was a bit more entertaining- but we did get a good laugh out of the less-then-worthy pictures of Shaun from the Torino Olympics that NBC chose to run a slideshow of over and over... and over again during Shaun's interview. Channels: Snow Show Me Your Twit: Introducing Ms. Wendy White Tony Hawk tweeted a picture of the one and only Shaun White in his Halloween costume. It's epic, to say the least. Here's what the Twit read: "Introducing... Ms. Wendy White (assuming she's not married.) To follow Tony Hawk on Twitter click here. To follow Shaun White on Twitter click here.

Channels: Snow Shaun's Secret Training Regime Photos courtesy of Burton.com It's no secret that Shaun White is about ten steps ahead of his competition right now when it comes to slaying it in the pipe. America has high hopes for the red headed anomaly to bring home the gold in this February's Vancouver Olympics- and with that kind of pressure Shaun's been in extreme training mode for the past year or so. He's had private halfpipe's built, top-secret nighttime training sessions, and even took the summer off from skating vert ramp to concentrate on upping his game. We've been wondering what kind of physical training he's been up to when he's not on the hill. We stumbled across this blog from our friends over at Burton and perhaps this is his Shaun's secret...  Olympic Halfpipe coach Bud Keene analyzing Shaun's "Batsman" technique on the "Pitch" Ok, so the game of Cricket doesn't have a damn thing to do Snowboarding... but at least Shaun and the crew are having fun in New Zealand during their down time. Check out the full blog here over at Burton.com- there's more hilarious photo's. While you're at it cruise around in their News and Events blog. They've always got tasty nuggets of internet content to keep you entertained.  Just look at the intensity of Coach Keene's pitch... Channels: Snow B There Or B Square Oh good ole snowboard video premieres. Finally, there’s one up in Los Angeles instead of Orange County, my laziness conflicts with any drive south of Long Beach or north of Sunset Boulevard. The fact that most of the snowboard companies based in Cali are down in Irvine or San Diego doesn’t help my case. Well, and the fact that no one wants to come to Los Angeles. Just kidding...kind of. Thanks to the amazing Burton Flagship store on Melrose Avenue, us lazy Los Angeles residents have an awesome Burton movie premiere to attend. This Thursday, October 1st, Burton’s new film, “The B” will be showing on the roof of this fabulous establishment equipped with free food and beverages (speaking from past experience, there will be lots and lots of booze). Also in store for the night, the Burton snowboard team will be lurking around including the likes of Terje Haakonsen, Jeremy Jones, Hannah Teter, Nicolas Muller and many more. Plus, they will be ready and equipped to autograph whatever you see fit. The actual video is for sale now so you don't have to wait for the premiere to check it out and judge for yourself but I'm pretty sure the premiere will be much more awesome than watching it solo on your couch. Personally, I haven't seen it yet (too busy doing much more important things...hah...right) but I have seen however many different versions of the trailer they made and that in itself got me amped/impatient for it's release. (For those in the dark, there is a Backwards Teaser, Beautiful Teaser, Banger Teaser, Basic Teaser, Bail Teaser, and Butchered Teaser.) So, if you are in the greater LA area, be sure to get to the Burton Store for the premiere from 6-10pm. Live Music by Really Addictive Sound. 8175 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, CA Oh yeah…space is limited so they ask that you RSVP at RSVP@burton.com. For more info you can call the store at 323-370-1777 See you there; I’ll be the one in the front row with a huge grin on my face and possibly a couple drinks in hand. | ||||||||||||||||
