Hey, what's up? I'm Sean White. We're here on Young Hollywood.

And uh, Find out how we get to this point in our relationship.

Mhm.

We have some Twitter pictures behind you on the monitor, if you want to refer to it.

Oh, really? I think I know what's coming up here.

Yes. Can we explain this Sean?

That was just, that was just a weekday.

Was that Halloween or what was that?

That was Halloween, yeah. I was, uh, I was Ariel, the Little Mermaid.

Well, you were a lovely Ariel, I have to say. Now, where was that taken?

Thank you. Well, you had to take it by the water.

Yes.

Well, you wouldn't. Yeah, I can't be too far from it. No. No.

Well, then how did you go trick or treating, right? I can't believe you have this photo. Um, I mean you're very sexy.

I you know what happened was it was, it was like an idea that was passed around and I kind of was like, no, I'm not gonna do it. And then, and then some people were like, you don't have the guts to wear that out and I'm like, okay, well now I have to.

Well, it, it's very fetching. And

Thank you. That's just me at, at, at the,

Well, I think you tweeted I'm not scared or something like that. And you're so fearless when you're snowboarding and skateboarding. What are do you have fears?

Um, not this dead dinosaur, but

But for real, do you have any fears?

I do sometimes. I mean, I surf a lot.

Yes.

And you always see, they always play shark movies right before the summertime starts. Right. So you have these like moments where you're like, oh, this is fun. And then you start thinking about it and then you just start, right when you start looking in the water, that's when you're, you know, Right. You start seeing things that aren't there.

So should we talk about White Christmas?

Yeah, sure. Googie. It's a viral campaign. It's like eight days of, of giveaways. Of gifting, yeah.

Okay. Tell me about that. I like gifting.

Well, what happened was we did this last season and it was kind of smaller time. We just only with Burton Snowboards, my sponsorship with them and, and, and certain products for the fans and stuff. And it was such a great success that we we blew it up this year. We took, um, all the sponsors that I'm working with, so it's GoPro cameras you can win, season passes to Northstar, clothing at Target. Um, you know, you name it, Stride Gum is gonna send you cases of gum. It's, it's, it's really cool. So it's eight days of gifting. And the exciting part is all these sponsors let us produce it. Right. And your brother directed it? My brother Jesse. Yeah. So, um, gosh, I've been going to him for everything since I was a kid. Like, new snowboard tricks, what to wear to school and,

You still ask him for advice.

Well, he actually works for me now, or with me now. Um, to design everything. You know, so, so basically his drawings are the are on t-shirts at Target at this, you know what I mean. We work together on sunglasses, everything you name it. So this was something that was fun because we we've always helped out with the sponsorships designing the packaging and these things but this is like our first real, um, you know, producing it.

You have to be in such great shape. How do you sort of eat fresh, stay in shape? Like what is your sort of regimen?

I mean, I started traveling when I was 12. So, I mean, I, I got used to eating foods from all over the place.

Okay.

You know, you fly to Japan, you better be ready to eat something strange. You're not gonna make it.

So what's your normal?

Normal. I'm pretty good. I mean, you see what I do is, is, is I think a tip for anybody is to to to change their diet slightly. Everybody goes like, I'm not gonna eat bread. It's not something that's sustainable. I'm never saying that. Why don't you

Yeah, exactly.

It's like people choose these crazy diets and if you just alter your diet slightly and something that you can stick to it, like, I'm like, okay, you know what? Like, I don't know, every, every lunch I'm gonna get a salad. Why not? I'll just make sure I do that or like, oh, okay, I won't finish my bread at, at dinner or something like that. And you slightly change your diet and you see dramatic, you know, effects of that.

Winter is coming up for that. Are you thinking next Olympics? Are you

Yeah, I'm I'm, uh, I'm hoping to compete in Sochi 2014.

You are. Is that you're definitely doing it?

Well, I have to qualify. So every single year you got to qualify.

I think you're gonna be okay.

I'm I'm hoping.

I just have a feeling. I don't know. I mean, call me crazy.

Yeah. Yeah.

And what about X Games? Any more X Games?

X Games for sure. Okay. That's the one that kind of just rolls every single year. Um, but it's exciting 'cause X Games is growing, so now it's in France and they're doing a bunch of them in the summertime like Barcelona, much different places. So I'm hoping to compete in a lot of different events.

We have one more Twitter photo.

Oh yeah?
