Wikipedia told us as much. Apparently he's really good too, with a ton of medals and video games to his names. And now he's about to get one more, as Ubisoft's just announced they're due to publish Shaun White Skateboarding. The game's due a full reveal at next month's E3, though some outlets are already posting previews.

The press release notes: "Players begin their journey in a dull and grey city that’s stretched over massive districts. As players skate and complete challenges, the city comes to life – new areas are revealed, better skate lines are created and buildings are transformed. Players can stretch and twist handrails to dizzying heights, empty fountains to create bowls, morph streets into ramps and much more. Creativity is rewarded with points, skateboarding gear and fresh, new skating opportunities.  With 80+ skate tricks hand-picked by Shaun (including a Shaun creation called the “Armadillo”), players can pull off authentic skate moves from the get-go and jump online to challenge friends in co-operative or adversarial modes."

It definitely sounds cool, and what with Tony Hawk being dead and Skate in its own rut, hopefully this can provide some kind of middle-ground balance to draw us back into skateboarding games.
