Shaun just took down GOLD for the Americans in the Men's Halfpipe yesterday in snowboarding. He is the most popular American at these winter olympics because of his flaming hair, absurd tricks and outgoing personality. He is something that few athletes are: a creator. He doesn't just perfect tricks that those who came before him created, he makes up new tricks that no one has ever done and then perfects those. He is so far ahead in his sport that in a recent 60 minutes interview it was revealed that he hardly hangs out with any other snowboarders on the professional and olympic circuit because they hold a grudge against him for being so good. I created a Jing to help you navigate his official site and showed the video that i found the coolest.
