True. As canadians we have no excuses when it comes to snowboarding or skiing. Maybe our "scouts" aren't picking the right athletes. Canada should be searching for blood thirsty athletes, not just guys who will do ok, and take the check they're given. Shawn white isn't the best comparison example though. he's like Wayne Gretzky of snowboarding, and way ahead of his time
