When skateboarding was added as a competition in the Olympics for the first time four years ago, legendary snowboarder Shaun White considered going after a spot on Team USA.
Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic pushed the Tokyo Olympics back for a year to 2021, putting White in a tough spot of choosing between his two loves of skateboarding and snowboarding.
"I remember sitting there thinking like, 'Well normally I could do this Olympics and have two years to prepare for the Winter Olympics,' which I planned on competing in, and then it got bumped by a year," White told B/R in an exclusive interview.
