Even the best of the best are scared sometimes and Shaun White is no exception. He’s won the X Games, the Olympics, the TTR World Championship and a thousand other competitions (OK so thousand might be an exaggeration). With the newly invented Tomahawk and the extremes he goes to perfect his tricks, a little speed shouldn’t scare him… should it?
Here we’ve got Shaun White being interviewed earlier this year for a segment on Wally’s World. He gets thrown into a Nascar at Darlington Speedway. The Flying Tomato takes the early questions in stride before Wally hits the accelerator and scares the shit out of him! Shaun might be used to speeds on the slopes, getting insane amounts of air and landing on his face but when he’s greeted with speeds up to 200mph and a fast approaching wall, his bowels loosen slightly!
Turns out the “great one” is human after all… (via MPORA snowboarding)
OK, maybe he doesn’t actually lose anything from his bowels but we’ve never seen him so scared before. Unfortunately the video doesn’t show the second part of the interview where Shaun takes Wally to a skate ramp and puts him on a board but I can imagine it’s funny as hell!
