Shaun White has showcased his prowess both on and off the slopes. He is an unconventional force in the world of extreme sports. He defies the typical narrative by announcing his retirement at the remarkably young age of 35. Renowned as a face of both snowboarding and skating, his unparalleled achievements, totaled 18 medals across five Olympic appearances.

However, despite his success, White recently expressed shock and confusion after witnessing recent changes in snowboarding technology. In response to a video, he mentioned being perplexed about “what’s on his hand.” This indicates his surprise and uncertainty about the evolving landscape of snowboarding tech.

Shaun White’s speechless moment

Shaun White recently shared a TikTok duet reel, and his reaction in the caption was simply “no words.” The video featured Shaun on one side, observing another snowboarder training on an artificial ski slope in Yamanashi, Japan. Expressing surprise, Shaun questioned, “What, is it grass?” The reel revealed the use of various plastic matting surfaces on these slopes, providing the sensation of real snow. Perplexed by the snowboarder’s equipment, Shaun laughed and exclaimed, “What’s on his hands? I don’t know about that.”

These artificial ski slopes can operate year-round, resembling the experience of snowboarding on real snow. However, breaking from the snowboarding tech confusion, on Jan. 5, Shaun White, a three-time Olympic gold medalist, revealed an exciting collaboration with the Utah Jazz.
