Spelunking with Shaun White

Welcome to YoungHollywood.com. What's up Young Hollywood? It's Michelle Marie. I'm here with the king of snowboarding Sean White. At your launch of the new video game Sean White Snowboarding by Ubisoft. What is it like having a game named after you?

It's wild. I mean, every young kid has a dream to make his own game and I just feel, you know, unbelievably lucky to be able to do it myself.

It took a couple years, right? What was the game all about?

I mean we've been making it for two years. We've done motion capture stuff in Montreal, flew out to Paris to promote the game. We've done voice over stuff here in LA. I'm excited about how it turned out. I'm proud. We've already won some awards, so I'm just like It's so real. Everybody playing it's like, oh my God it's so much fun. Yeah, it's pretty cool. I mean we have a Wii version where you can actually use the Wii Fit board.

And what are you doing to get ready to get on the slopes?

Jeez Got to get training. We go into the summertime which is down in New Zealand or Chile or something like that. And uh we practice our new tricks for the Olympics which is the beginning of the next season. So in actuality, you know, it just this next season's like one big season that goes into the Olympics so I'm I'm fired up. They make fun of my jacket. I just got this jacket. It looks good. I like it. Cognac.

Cognac huh?

And that's what sold me. I was like, nice. Cognac. Sounds great.

Is the competition a little bit different or do you think it's going to be a little more tough?

Yeah it's pretty wild. I mean, everybody comes out of the woodwork to do the Olympics and you never know what big tricks are going to be coming out but I definitely think that if I just stick to my thing I've been doing this whole time, I'm going to be all right.

I'm just curious, which other sports do you like? Do you watch basketball, football?

I watch a little bit of basketball. I'm a fan of showing up to basketball games. I used to play a lot of soccer but I don't really watch it on TV.

This is going to be a totally random question. If you if there's one word that that is your favorite word. What is the word that you would use?

Uh Scrumslicious

And why that?

Obviously, cuz Will Ferrell made it up on the spot and it's amazing.

Now what's your ultimate goal? You pretty much done it all now. What can I see you doing soon?

Spelunkin

Spelunkin

Yeah, Spelunkin.

Is there anybody here to spelunk with? Cave exploration if you don't know.

Hey, what's up? I'm Sean White. Thanks for tuning in.
