Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk was Shaun’s mentor
Shaun White was just nine years old when skateboarding legend, Tony Hawk, took him under his guidance. Hawk started mentoring him and turned him into a professional athlete by the time he was 16. Even though a renowned snowboarder, Shaun’s skateboarding are equally impressive.
To date, Shaun shares a good relationship with Tony. Recently, Hawk tweeted a video with Shaun saying, “There are very few people I trust to go high enough over my ramp channel for me to zoom past underneath, and @shaunwhite is one of them. Here he is dusting off the cobwebs on a big heelfip as I sneak by this afternoon.”
