Snowboarding legend Shaun White took advantage of a New York City blizzard on Sunday when he hit Central Park to pull off some stunts with actors Shane Gillis and Chris O’Connor.
White, the three-time Olympic gold medalist in half-pipe snowboarding, was seen jumping over a seated Gillis, holding a beer, and O’Connor, who were located at the base of a hastily-constructed jump.

The 39-year-old White’s days on the Olympic stage are done, as he will serve as an expert analyst for NBC’s coverage of the Winter Games in Milan-Cortina next month, but it is clear that the veteran still has it.
White is one of the most decorated and recognizable extreme sports athletes of this generation. A five-time Olympian, he also holds the world record for the most X Games gold medals (13) and most Olympic gold medals by a snowboarder. He is also a five-time X Games medalist in vert skateboarding, where he turned pro at 16 under the tutelage of the legendary Tony Hawk.
