WXG VII Chat: Shaun White
EXPN.com
Jan. 29, 2003

Welcome to the EXPN.com moderated chat room. On Wednesday, January 29, pro snowboarder and damn fine skateboarder, Shaun White will drop by to host a special Winter X Games VII chat.

Shaun stacked up a pair of silver medals in last year's Winter X Games VI and has been on an early season tear filming with Dave Seaone for a hot new project. Not only is Shaun a winter time ruler, but his skateboarding skill is the stuff most kids drool over. Whether it's going on the Tony Hawk Gigantic Skatepark Tour, showing up at the Boom Boom Huck Jam, or just sessioning the Encinitas YMCA in his spare time, Shaun has a quiver of tricks ready to throw at any moment.

Between traveling the world living the snowboard dream and showing up in Aspen to compete in Winter X Games VII, Shaun is a busy boy. Take advantage of this opportunity to ask him whatever the hell you want to know and see if your question makes the cut.
