Growing Up
Home

• Shawn started taking family ski trips to Mammoth
  CA. when he was just a little kid. By the time he
  was six, he was done with skiing and wanted to
  snowboard. He was going to take lessons, but the
  slope rules said that you had to be 12 or older,
  so his dad and older brother Jesse taught him.
  When Shaun was seven, he competed in an amateur
  snowboarding contest, and won.
• When Shaun was at his home in California, he
  skateboards off a hand built ramp, surfed, and
  played soccer.

  Olympics. On his second run, Shaun went all out,
  and no other snowboarding Olympian could top his
  score of 46.8 (Out of 50) Shaun won the Gold
  Medal, and his teammate Danny Kass won silver.
• Shaun is the first olympian ever to compete in
  both the summer and winter olympics (and win a
  medal)
