Shaun White is joining GoPro's progressive team of snowboard athletes that include Mike Basich, Tim Humphreys, Eric Willett, Jamie Anderson, Hannah Teter and Devun Walsh.

"I'm really excited to be working with the team," said Shaun White. "I'm looking forward to seeing my riding in a different light with new angles that only GoPro cameras can capture."
GoPro's founder and CEO, Nicholas Woodman adds, "In addition to being a world class athlete, Shaun White has incredible positive energy and enthusiasm. He's just a great dude. We are so stoked to have him join us and our other athletes as Ambassadors of Radness, capturing and sharing passionate experiences through the lenses of our GoPros. I can't bust airs like Shaun White or the rest of our athletes, but I feel like I can when I watch their GoPro footage. It's addictive and inspiring to the rest of us to get out there and GoPro in our own way. Welcome to the team, Shaun... let's ride."
