We got a sneek peek at Shaun White in Prague from our Red Bull European counterparts. Have a look,
Also watch Shaun White's new Red Bull Spot.
Quite the sight.
If that wasn't enough, he has a spot about his trip to New York.
Summertime is all about skateboarding. Shaun was feeling a little end of summer skate trip so we packed it in and took off for Portland, Oregon, one of the heaviest hitters in the skatepark world.
Known for their plethora of parks, the Pacific Northwest has become world famous for bigger, better and badder! The legends like Burnside still pull the weight of Portland's skate-centric reputation, but there are so many concrete parks that you almost don't know where to begin.
For Shaun, this trip was a getaway. A little time to clear the head and skate with some friends, but also to stoke out some fans. There is nothing better than seeing the looks on kid's faces when Shaun rolls up to the park.
If you saw Shaun cruising in the parks while he was in Portland, hope that it was fun. Drop in unannounced and just ride with everyone else. That is what makes skateboarding and snowboarding so amazing. Because it is pretty unlikely that Tiger Woods will ever share a round of golf with you, but there's a pretty good chance that you could pump around with Shaun White in the deep end or ask him for advice on that trick you are trying to stick.
Although summer is gone and most of you are all back in school, mark my words, Portland, we will be back, oh yes, we will be back!
We have posted many new updates from our Red Bull Team, See what Zered Bassett has been messing with.
Danny Supa has just returned from Manny Mania and read up what he did in Minneapolis.
Joey Brezinski has told you what he did with his Manny Mania prize of 10 thousand dollars!
What is the Armadillo you ask? Say this twice: frontside heelflip body varial 540. Shaun commented about his trick, "I pulled one of my best tricks ever," White said regarding his Armadillo trick "I just learned it last week. I was having nightmares about landing it, but I nailed it, so it was a home run."

On a overcast Cleveland day, a shade groggy from the entire day at the Cleveland Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a late night and early rise, Shaun drops in and practices his run.
