He has a great balance of intelligence, charisma, humor, and keepin’ it real. Plus he is so articulate! It is always a pleasure to listen to Shaun White. I am glad he is such a visible icon, and I am just sure he inspires all sorts of folks. I hope Whitespace is super successful. He deserves it.
I was 10 when I first watched Shaun snowboard at the Olympics. Because of him, snowboarding easily became one of my favorite sports! I never want to see him leave😭😭 12 years later, he’s still one of my favorite athletes ever
I had a teacher in high school who was a former pro snowboarder. He said he knew it was time to start thinking about retiring and teaching full time when a 15 year old kid started beating everyone at pro events. Winning all these fancy cars when he didn't even have a drivers license. It was pretty cool though cuz he was my teacher when Shaun won the first gold and you could tell he was like dang this kid is doing it.
@@markuspalmroth3856 his name was Mr Stickler. I think he was more 90s than 2000s but he was still competing right before he started teaching full time in like 04 or something.
oh man, I am so happy he actually shows gadgets and products and not just, like, a notebook. Which I mean yeah, notebooks are cool - but I want to see STUFF! The matcha machine, amazing travel pillow, well designed money clip - that is the level of product obsession and attention to detail I support.
Agreed. Not just gadgets... But gadgets he actually uses in everyday life. And you can see the wear and tear on them. Which, to me, implies a bit of frugality, even though he's rich.

I saw this guy in Vegas ! I was getting on the rollercoaster at New York New York and he’s there all blinged out just talking to some fellow celebrities. Super cool guy !
Not really. He acts like a child outside of the spotlight. He's done some pretty abhorrent things that should have gotten him suspended or black listed.
Tony Hawk was a mentor to him as a young boy. Search the internet and you will find his story about Tony. In his retirement speech, after the Olympics, he thanks everyone in his life and he has a special section just for Tony Hawk!
A lot of these are similar to shohei ohtani. It’s interesting how some of the most successful people at their sports essentials are all related to recovery.
Love the Game Ready, ice machine. Fancier than the ice machines I used after knee replacement surgery. If there is room, freeze mini water bottles (take the labels & glue off, use in the bucket of where you put the ice water, keeps it colder longer.
I allowed Tony Hawk to get old because he was a full on adult when I was a kid, but Shaun you cannot keep getting older bro my childhood self can’t handle it 🥺
This is what I try to tell people. He spent so long being a privileged child he never learned basic human decency. All anyone has to do is a google search to realize he is no hero and being good at circus tricks doesn't mean he deserves any of what he has.
Love how all of his essentials are super unique. Lots of people have similar things but most of his stuff I haven’t seen.
Its cause he’s in pain all the time. Its all stuff to relieve pain.
Lol. Yeah, unique to who paid him to plug their product.
Dunno about all of them, the guitar and jewellery are pretty common
This seemed more like a commercial for interesting things
You should watch Alex Honnolds

He deserves to be black listed for the bad things he's done.
He's so calm speaking and relaxed. So down to Earth. Nina is perfect for him!! Glad to see him expanding his career. God Bless!
Literally said the same thing :)

Same here 😭 I was 2 when I first fell in love with Shaun and snowboarding… now I’m turning 18 and he’s retired
You guys sure like a guy that sexually harrasses people and acts abhorrently off the mountain.

been a fan of shaun since i was a kid. love everything he does
thanks:)
You're a fan of bad people huh? Weird.
the jacket is Celine FW19 Western Teddy Jacket if anyone is curious. Looks absolutely amazing on him.
thank you!!!

I enjoyed this interview more than I expected to, lol. He’s super chill.
He's super chill, but notoriously does bad. He's not great at all. Do a google search.

Ohtani has his own custom pillow and a Game ready too
Goats think alike I guess
Such a great guy! Met him a couple of times at Copper years ago and even with people screaming and yelling at him he was still so chill.
Such an incredible and interesting human being! Thank you for all those years of domination in your sports
Shaun white low-key fingerpicking “wonderboy” is awesome.
I'm bound to pack it up- The White Stripes
He needs to be on HOT ONES next
💯🌶🔥
Shaun seems so cool! Very personable. I didn't they get rings along with the medals! Awesome!
I’ve only been snowboarding once (at 50 years old BECAUSE of Shaun White!) and I want one of these boards right now.
Actually seems like a nice guy
Only ever seen him in his cameo in “Friends with Benefits”
He’s actually not
He was always AMAZING in the olympics. He was probably the only Winter athlete that I'd make a point to watch every time.
So down to earth and chill. Best personality.
Not really. He acts like a child outside of the spotlight. He's done some pretty abhorrent things that should have gotten him suspended or black listed.
Looking forward to my new snowboard. Grew up watching him compete. I get excited anytime I get to watch him skate or snowboard.
He's the tony hawk of the snow!
Except younger lol

“I’m bound to pack it up” by the white stripes, good choice of song on the guitar 🤟
What a great guy. Good luck at the coming Olympics Shawn!
7:40 - As your longtime fan, I will definitely buy one of your boards! As soon as I take up snowboarding again lol.
Seems like an awesome guy. Love this.
A lot of these are similar to shohei ohtani. It’s interesting how some of the most successful people at their sports essentials are all related to recovery.
Yo back rollers are essential for feeling good man. Life changing!!
"I met Shaun White on the plane today" "No way! What was he like?" "Well he had his leg in this tube and was rolling this thing on his back" lmao
What a legend. Respect. So easy going and mellow. I can see why Nina Dobrev felt for him.
He deserves no respect for the terrible things he's done. Legends act with true character all the time. White does not.
“Be sure to tell somebody you love them” lmao the outro song reminded me of Tim
Okay, Shaun White is a WHOLE vibe ❤️
I can't believe he didn't bring up his mountain dew, baby!
Honestly shout out to the team for lugging all of these things to this video shoot.
I love this guy; he's awesome
I'm so PROUD of YOU! I have followed you since you were 16! CONGRATULATIONS on a WONDERFUL CAREER!
“I’ve had a lot of money clips, but they always stretch”
That’s a nice problem to have
lol good point
shaun calling the power buttons for everything the play button is so endearing
The timthetatman background music at the end😂😂😂shoutout Shaun white. Best of luck in Beijing goat
Should do one of these with Jeff goldblum. That’ll be interesting
Dude he has changed so much since I saw him last, I thought this was the Shermanator at first.
Love the Game Ready, ice machine. Fancier than the ice machines I used after knee replacement surgery. If there is room, freeze mini water bottles (take the labels & glue off, use in the bucket of where you put the ice water, keeps it colder longer.
What a legend
I stIll member him and carrot top looked like twins back in the day hahahha
I want a Shaun White snowboard!😎🌨️
1500...wait until reality hits and he makes models people can afford...
This guy is a living legend
Living? Yes. Legend? No.
Hard not to like Shaun White, seems laid back and genuine.
I like that he calls start buttons play
So proud of you! Love your sense of humor 😆
I'M TALKING 'BOUT MOUNTAIN DEWS BABY!
Shaun's got three back pain related items :)) what an athlete
He's aged very well. Good to see it
nice little nod to the white stripes with that guitar diddy.
shaun white has been officially added to my celeb crush list after this vid
Shaun white you’re so dope!! I enjoyed your essentials !!🙌🏼
I allowed Tony Hawk to get old because he was a full on adult when I was a kid, but Shaun you cannot keep getting older bro my childhood self can’t handle it 🥺
I feel you. I turned 30 last week and this feels ridiculous lol
Lol
He just aged like the privilege he never lost.
Idk why I feel like this man looks different every time I see him
The bath completely makes sense. Snowboarding is punishing and the warm bath helps so much
Wish I had the problem of my money clip stretching 😂
Whitespace already has a Louis V collab 🔥🤙🏼
Hi Shaun-san, thank you so matcha🍵
Matcha machine looks super cool! where can I get that?
I cant even watch this... he's just to cool
shaun white legend - sad to hear him retire - im talkin mountain dew baby
I figured he would have a Mountain Dew can as one of his essentials…
We talking about Mt Dews baby
🐐 Himself good luck in the winter olympics
I will totally buy one of those boards that's so sick
Absolute legend
The only thing Shaun White can’t live without is Mountain Dew, baby
What kind of pillow is that? I wish GQ would put a list of the top 10 items in the description.
I thought about that too, but I’d hate for it to turn into a list of whoever sponsors that person to go on and it all become about the brands ya know?
The brand is Night. It’s their Night Pillow with the Travel Compression Case :)
@@MelissaKMcGee Thank you!
When I was a kid he was so big
The riff Shaun plays is I'm Bound to Pack it up- The White Stripes.
"It's like playing your demo to someone" LOL
Been Rocking the Same Money Clip Letsgoooo
He's done pretty well without a moral compass
This is what I try to tell people. He spent so long being a privileged child he never learned basic human decency. All anyone has to do is a google search to realize he is no hero and being good at circus tricks doesn't mean he deserves any of what he has.
He doesn't look like the guy I know as shaun white. I've only ever seen him when I was a kid and I confused him with carrot top tho
He's amazing, awesome and genius too, oh yeah America's Golden Sweetheart!
If by "America's Golden Sweetheart" you mean he makes a habit of being a bad person out of the spotlight then yes.
He picked the most expensive French candle, it's the Govida of candle!
America’s sweetheart! Love you Shaun!
Shaun white is such a skier! XD
very funny GQ, you almost had me, this is actually danny duncan
He needs to narrate an audiobook
Those are some good essentials
MOUNTAIN DEW BABY!
im surprised he didnt bring mountain dew baby
ah, we have so much in common. the back roller. game ready. omega watch that we didn't buy ;D matcha maker seems ridiculous though.
Same by far have the closest list to him
Man i remember seeing him in the first Olympics and knew he was going to be the best reminded me of a skater
Cuz he’s also a skater lol
Hes talkin bout Mountain Dew baby
Bruh I haven’t seen Shaun white since having the long curly hair and baby face, bruh has definitely matured.
Put on Reggie Miller next!
omg i love the cuzen matcha maker machine 😍
Shaun White now looks like Kevin Dillon trying to play Shaun White.
Beautiful matcha maker!!!!!
I love the game ready machine
The flying tomato was a cool name Shaun 🥸
Do one of these with Ryan Sheckler. That'd be dope.
Sugar sean o malley
The branding and stripe on his board is genius!!! So rad!
