On a snowy day in Central Park, Shaun White took his snowboarding skills to new heights—literally! The three-time Olympic gold medalist delighted onlookers with a jaw-dropping stunt where he jumped over comedian Shane Gillis, who was amusingly seated with a beer in hand. Social media lit up with videos capturing the excitement of both the airborne athlete and the mesmerized crowd.
White nailed the jump, performing a somersault mid-air and landing smoothly while Gillis cheered, making for a moment any fan of stunts would not want to miss. Beyond the thrill, this event serves as a poignant reminder of White’s transition into a new role, as he prepares to lend his voice as a broadcaster during the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics after retiring from professional snowboarding in 2022. Who knew you could blend entertainment with a career pivot?
It seems every moment with Shaun White is one for the fans. As he commands attention for his athletic prowess and charismatic stunts, one can’t help but wonder what he’s got planned next. After all, the only thing cooler than soaring over a comedian is what might come next—it’s a snowy adventure waiting to unfold!
