What're the chances Oakley will want to recall the Shaun White signature models?!? Naaaaa...


DECEMBER 19--Shaun White, the popular snowboarder known as "The Flying Tomato," is facing a misdemeanor criminal rap for allegedly setting off a fire extinguisher at a Colorado ski resort. The 21-year-old White, who won a gold medal at the 2006 Olympics, was nabbed in connection with an incident last Friday in a game room at the Beaver Run ski resort. According to the below Breckenridge Police Department report, a hotel video camera recorded a man removing the fire extinguisher from the wall and placing the device on the ground, "then a large cloud of smoke begins to develop as the extinguisher is discharged by the male." White, who had been in the game room with a woman he was playfully chasing with a pool stick, was charged after cops matched his distinctive shoes with those seen on the surveillance video. Investigators also noted that the "tread pattern" on White's kicks matched footprints left in the dust caused by the fire extinguisher discharge. After the incident, a hotel security guard approached the couple, since he had seen them entering the game room prior to the extinguisher being discharged. The guard, Sean Fay, asked if the duo had seen anyone exiting the game room. "The male told Fay he observed a white male with long red hair pulling the pin from the fire extinguisher." Bizarrely, it seems that White actually fingered himself. After being read his Miranda rights, White refused to answer questions from police, who cited the athlete (and American Express spokesman) for second degree criminal tampering. After being presented with the summons, White--who smelled of booze--"wadded up" the document "and shoved his copy into his jacket pocket." He was then driven back to his hotel by a representative of Burton Snowboards.

funny as hell!! at least it wasn't statutory rape or any BS like that!! Prankster at heart

Is his deal with Oakley just for eyewear or clothing and footwear as well. It would be funny if the "distinctive tread" left big Os in the dust

Shaun wears Adio sneakers

he used to wear oakley shoes...
Bottlecap, Flesh.

I can just hear Flores calling White an amateur.

When you type adio sneakers into google images it assumes you mistyped adio and comes up with this as the second result:




Thump competitor????;-)

that's just a funny story, typically x games pranks.
he won't get fired over that

Bizarrely, it seems that White actually fingered himself

Now, is doing that sort of thing in public still a misdemeanor or has it been upgraded to a felony?

Rick , you have a sick mind, SICK I SAY !!!!

whoaahahahahahaha

Haha, Shaun White is the man...

Mhm, I have a Burton Shawn White Snowboardjacket, so I doubt he also has a Oakley clothing deal. But who knows? Btw - the Burton Shawn White line is really nice ,)

Shaun White is also a Volcom athlete...he seems to run the gambit!

I would say his primary for apparel would be volcom since in an Oakley poster ad (for the montefrios) that was in store & in magazines and catalogues he was clearly wearing a volcom shirt and non oakleyshoes (adio sounds right).

FWIW; Shaun White is on the cover of the Feburary 2008 Mens Journal magazine...
