It's because he's a winner, both at the Winter Olympics and the X Games. While avid action sports fans have followed his career closely for years, most people have only seen White get big air on the half-pipe a couple of times and collect a Gold Medal. They haven't seen White ride the way he does 98% of the time, exploring the back country and carving with his friends down mountains all over the world. In Ubisoft's soon-to-be-released Shaun White Snowboarding for the Xbox 360, the entire world will get a feel of what snowboarding is actually like for the sport's most decorated athlete."
