Our German partners at Snowboarder MBM managed to sit down at the X Games yesterday with none other than Mr Shaun White. This was before he’d won either of his gold medals, but there was still plenty to ask him about. Not that you always get a great answer though – listen to his response to Meike’s question about the TTR vs. FIS debate. Seems Shaun is a master of the art of talking lots without saying very much at all…
Tristan first stepped on a snowboard at the age of 12, and (despite being a bit rubbish) has made a point of riding as often as possible since. He joined Whitelines in 2009, and writes, shoots, films and edits for both the magazine and the website. Having headed up the team in charge of the Whitelines Buyers' Guide for the past four seasons knows more about the geeky side of snowboard kit than anyone should ever have to know.
