White’s Air & Style series could have Olympic connections
Though Shaun White will never compete in snowboarding’s newest Olympic event, he could have a hand in deciding who does.
The two-time Olympic gold medalist is interested in turning his Air & Style series into an Olympic qualifier for the Big Air competition, which makes its Olympic debut in 2018 in South Korea.
White’s tour returns to Los Angeles on Feb. 18-19. It will mix snowboarders soaring 16 stories high off the big-air ramp with the music from about 20 bands including Major Lazer and Flume.
