[White ] I never would have thought
being grand marshal at NASCAR.
You know what I mean?
:38:15
There's just so many opportunities
within snowboarding
that I'm starting to realize now.
:38:19
He is a mainstream celebrity,
whether he likes it or not.
He's on TV. Kids know his name.
:38:23
They know that he's one of the
best snowboarders of all time.
:38:26
He's also one of the most amazing
skateboarders we've ever seen.
:38:38
[ White ]
I did Japan for, like, 10 days.
:38:41
I got home from that
for, like, a day or two-
straight to NASCAR.
:38:46
And then after NASCAR,
here we are- Hollywood.
:38:52
Oh, no.
[ Sighs ]
:38:55
The only thing that wears me out
is just, like, the time zones,
:38:58
because, like, you get home
and you want to sleep
and then you got to stay up.
:39:01
[ Groans ]
There's the back.
:39:03
I hate looking
at the whole calendar...
:39:06
'cause it'sjust, like,
you look at this whole calendar...
:39:09
and the whole thing's just covered
in red ink and you're, like,
:39:11
"Oh, I have to do all that. "
:39:13
I just try to take
the one month at a time.
:39:16
[Director]
Standby.
:39:18
I feel that when the mainstream
comes into snowboarding,
it's really good, I feel.
:39:22
Because the more money
that gets in the sport, it ends up
bringing more things back home.
:39:27
The week has been crazy.
:39:30
The mountains are taking
half their budget to make a sick park,
so kids will show up and ride.
:39:35
And I think that's one of
the coolest parts about the mainstream
coming into our sport.
:39:44
[Announcer] Shaun White,
two-time defending gold medalist.
:39:47
The man is focused.
He told me at the beginning of the week,
"I am hungry for competition. "
:39:51
We will see ifhe can get it done
and get his third gold.
:39:53
[ White ]
For me, the X-Games isjust something
for me to look forward to.
:39:57
I t's always the biggest event
of the year.
:39:59
There's so many people
that come out to it.
It's full-on live television.
