I love how Terje speaks the truth and gives a riders opinion on the contest scene

Shaun White wont come to the World Championships—-he wants too much money! Hahhahh Shaun wont ride at your event unless he gets paid now!
ESPN gives him $100K just to show up and ride at the XGames.
He might throw the hardest, but he’s still a red headed kook with no friends.
Too bad he’s the face of snowboarding.
Critic

Whatever, Terje, you’re a legendary rider but stop complaining about comps that you never won. Winter X is a brilliant event conceived of and executed in America. And it should stay in America.
Critic

Yo, ShredBot,

Grow-up dumbass. Just because Shaun isn’t pulling bong hits with the rest of the dope smokin’ morons at pro-bro central. Shaun’s an anomoly, an international superstar (partly because of his ultra cool red hair) and you resent it.
Bukwild

From a business standpoint, Shaun showing up and giving publicity to Supernatural only showcases back country riding, something that isn’t his forte and will only dilute his stock in Pipe. Why would you want to change the public’s perception that halfpipe riding isn’t the be all and end all of snowboarding? Nobody likes shooting themselves in the foot. Whether the public likes it or not, or even if he likes it himself, the name Shaun White is big business. Probably doesn’t help that Shaun and Redbull went their separate ways.

HAHA, the Torstein and Halldor ender is too good.
