Shaun White has been a participant in the winter X Games, where he has medaled every year since 2002. Including all winter X Games competitions through 2007, his medal count stands at 11 (7 gold, 3 silver, 1 bronze), including the first four-peat winner by a male athlete in one discipline, the snowboard slopestyle. White's quest for a five-peat Gold in 2007 was spoiled by Andreas Wiig (Gold) and Jussi Oksanen (Silver), with White taking the bronze. At the conclusion of the 2007 Winter X Games, White also stood as one of three athletes who have won a leading six gold medals in their total Winter X competitive history. He has also won the Air & Style Contest in 2003 and 2004.

Shaun White Catches Big Air
Big Air, originally uploaded by commonroman.
Shaun White first began snowboarding at the age of 4. He went to June Mountain in California with his family. His older brother tried his hand at snowboarding. Again, Shaun soon followed, but was told that he was too young to take snowboarding lessons. In order to slow Shaun down, his mother told him that he could only board "backwards", also known as fakie or switch. This potentially furthered his career by forcing him to be skilled at both boarding methods.

Shaun White, originally uploaded by Johnny Cakes.
Shaun Roger White (born September 3, 1986 in Carlsbad, California), is an American athlete. He has been a notable competitor in professional snowboarding since he was twelve years old. White stands 5' 8.5" (1.73 m) tall. He rides regular stance, twelve and negative three degrees on his board.[citation needed] He is known for his shock of red hair, for which he has become known as "The Flying Tomato,". Addressing his perception of the nickname, Rolling Stone magazine wrote, "he used to embrace it, even wearing headbands with a flying-tomato logo, but he has grown tired of it."[1] Early in his career he was also known as "The Egg" & "Future Boy" as everyone knew he had promise, but just hadn't grown enough to boost airs as big as the older competitors.
