“So going to those things and doing terribly is exactly what I needed to do.” “It’s just kind of learning the lay of the land,” White added. “I had really a poor performance and I’m very happy that happened because now I know where to be, where the level of the young skateboarders is at and I’m hoping to take that loss as a motivator to now get to that place and hopefully start winning. White competed in September in a competition in Marseille, France, and didn’t make the 15-man semifinal. No, everyone goes at the same time and I’m worried about crashing into people.” So it’s not like you go, then I go, then you go. “I was falling during my runs and the thing I didn’t realize is that it’s called the ‘jam’ format. “The formats are different, the athletes are different, the judging’s different,” White told Rosen. In December, White told Karen Rosen with Team USA about the steep learning curve he’s had to adjust to in his journey from vert skating to park skating. The venue is a combination of several quarter pipe and halfpipe-like features joined together in a large bowl. Vert, however, is not among the disciplines chosen for the Olympics, so White has had to adapt to the discipline known as “park,” where a skateboarder catches air onto transitions similar to vert. White has notched multiple wins on the summer Dew Tour, where he won several contests in halfpipe skateboarding - a discipline known as “vert” - from 2006 to 2011. “This is truly a historic time for skateboarding as we embark on the first-ever Olympics, and to have Dew Tour leading the qualifying charge is an honor,” said Adam Cozens, vice president and general manager of Dew Tour. event a competition with which White is quite familiar - the summer Dew Tour, taking place June 13-16 in Long Beach, California. On April 18 the qualifying schedule was made official, with the first U.S.

But after two whole years of skateboarding, I’m gonna be ready to go back, and I’m gonna have this fire that those other competitors won’t, because they’ve been in the same thing every day trying to find that passion to keep them going, and it’s tough.”
“And sitting here right now, you couldn’t drag me to the mountain. “After I’m done skating, I’m gonna hate skating, I’m gonna wanna go snowboarding,” White told Robbins.
