the only thing in the world that i have to say is bad about Shaun White

i loved his skate shoes untill now, the old tread pattern gave me great grip while riding my bmx bike (a 2011 mirraco essex). i went 2 target to get some new ones, and was shocked to find but he changed the tread from interlocking c's to a zigzag with a circle a little back from your big toe with some rays that radiate out. this is quite close to some nike's i have and sometimes my foot'll slip because of the circle and radiating lines. even without this i don't think the zigzag would work well, i hope to get many people (like 100+) to post this on Shaun's wall to bring back the old pattern atleast for one or two lines of shoes for bmxers like me!

my O.W.A.

Ontario Writhing Assessment

Shaun White, Before the 2010 Olympics Shaun White went every day to his private halfpipe in Silverston and every day he earned another trick for his bag. Most if not all of these tricks consisted of hurtling down one 22 foot wall and up another, from there performing two flips and up to 1080 than landing hurtling down that wall and up another to do it all again. This method it seems worked though as Shaun went on to become Olympic mens halfpipe champion for a second time. More recently he blew everyone away when he got a perfect score of 100 on his third run of the Aspen 2012 x-games, 100.00 the victory run after a record 97.66 on his second run, the 97.66 made Shaun the third person th 5-peat in x-games history. He also did all of this after not being able to compete in slope style due to a broken ankle. These kinds of things are what make Shaun White my idol!
