Stats Shaun White will compete at X Games for the first time since X Games Aspen 2017, when he finished 11th in SuperPipe. It’s his first contest at all in three years -- since he won his 3rd Olympic gold medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics. Shaun’s last X Games medal came at Aspen 2013, when he won his 8th SuperPipe gold and 15th gold overall. Chloe Kim is back at X Games after taking last season off to focus on her first year at Princeton. Chloe owns 5 X Games gold medals and 7 medals total, all in Snowboard SuperPipe. Attack of the Teens: 17 teenagers comprise 21% of the field at X Games Aspen 2021. 31 athletes (39%) are 21 and under. 24 Aspen 2021 athletes were born AFTER Shaun White made his X Games debut at Mount Snow 2000. While no “youngest” records are in play, there could be one major shakeup in teen records: With any medal, Kelly Sildaru, 18, surpasses both Nyjah Huston and Shaun White for most medals earned as a teenager. She’s also one behind both of them in total gold medals. Sildaru is scheduled to compete in all three women’s Ski disciplines at Aspen 2021. She won Slopestyle and SuperPipe at Aspen 2020. Most X Games Medals as a Teenager Count Breakdown Sport Shaun White 9 6 gold, 3 silver SBD/SKB Nyjah Huston 9 6 Gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze SKB Kelly Sildaru* 9 5 gold, 3 silver, 1 bronze SKI Tom Schaar 8 1 gold, 3 silver, 4 bronze SKB Chloe Kim 7 5 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze SBD Pedro Barros 7 5 gold, 2 silver SKB Lyn-z Pastrana 7 3 gold, 3 silver, 1 bronze SKB *Current teenage athlete WOAH: 24 athletes, nearly one third of the entire athlete X Games Aspen 2021 field, were born after Shaun White made his X Games rookie appearance in January 2000. He’s now the oldest athlete competing at Aspen 2021 (34 yrs. 4 mos.). White already owns the most gold medals in X Games history (15). He’s tied for third on the all-time medal chart (23). If White medals in Men’s SBD SuperPipe, he’ll pull into a tie with Dave Mirra for second on the medal list. Bob Burnquist leads with 30. Bob Burnquist: 30 Dave Mirra: 24 Shaun White: 23 Andy Macdonald: 23 Pierre-Luc Gagnon: 21 Triple Trouble --7 athletes at X Games Aspen 2021 are scheduled to compete in 3 disciplines. • Alex Hall: Men’s Ski Slopestyle/Big Air/Knuckle Huck • Henrik Harlaut: Men’s Ski Slopestyle/Big Air/Knuckle Huck • Eileen Gu: Women’s Ski Slopestyle/Big Air/SuperPipe • Kelly Sildaru: Women’s Ski Slopestyle/Big Air/SuperPipe • Marcus Kleveland: Men’s SBD Slopestyle/Big Air/Knuckle Huck • Dusty Henricksen: Men’s SBD Slopestyle/Big Air/Knuckle Huck • Jamie Anderson: Women’s SBD Slopestyle/Big Air/Knuckle Huck (Jamie will be the first woman to compete in Ski or SBD Knuckle Huck) • Only 3 athletes in X Games history have won 3 gold medals at a single X Games. It hasn’t happened since 2006, and it’s never occurred in winter disciplines. Just 3 athletes have earned 3 medals at an X Games winter event (Skier Kelly Sildaru, Aspen 2019; Snowmobiler Joe Parsons, 2013; Snowboarder Jennie Waara, 1997). 3 Gold at One X Games Year Disciplines Travis Pastrana 2006 MTX Best Trick & Freestyle; RCR Racing Rodil de Araujo 2002 SKB Park, Street & Street Best Trick Dave Mirra 1998 BMX Vert, Vert Doubles & Park --Men’s Snowboard Slopestyle: No U.S. athlete has won since Shaun White took gold in 2009. That’s a 0-14 streak. Red Gerard’s bronze at X Games Aspen 2020 ended an 8-year Slopestyle medal drought for the United States. Three U.S. athletes are competing in Men’s SBD Slopestyle in Aspen. With Mark McMorris absent (COVID-19), the door is wide open for the USA. --STREAK! Men’s Snowboard Slopestyle is also riding a 5-rider unique streak at the moment. Going back to Sven Thorgren’s win at Norway 2017, 5 different riders have won the discipline at X Games. That ties the longest unique streak in XG Slopestyle history (Andreas Wiig in 2008 through Mark McMorris, 2012). --Men’s Snowboard Big Air: It’s just as bleak for the Americans in Big Air. USA has not won gold since Travis Rice in 2009. Two Americans are competing in Big Air, including Chris Corning, the last American to medal (bronze, Norway 2018). --Henrik Harlaut is tied with Tanner Hall for most Ski gold medals in X Games history (7). At X Games Aspen 2020, Harlaut broke a tie with Hall for most X Games Ski medals overall -- Harlaut now leads with 12. The Swede has 3 chances to break the gold medal tie at X Games Aspen 2021: He competes in Big Air, Slopestyle and Knuckle Huck. --Anna Gasser is locked

  • Clash at Clairemont Sponsorship Opportunities
    CLASH AT CLAIREMONT SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES • Now in its 11th year, Clash at Clairemont began in 2007 as a cooperative effort between pro skateboarder Andy Macdonald, the YMCA, Mike Rogers’ Grind for Life cancer charity, and industry sponsors like PacSun and SoBe beverages. • The inaugural event was a celebration of upgrades to the YMCA’s Krause Family Skate & Bike Park in San Diego, which included the addition of the 2006 X Games vert ramp. It provided an opportunity to create a fundraiser to benefit the park and Grind for Life. The event, which featured over 45 top action sports athletes, live music, and a family-friendly atmosphere, was a huge success. An annual classic was born! • Each year from 2008 to 2016, Clash at Clairemont has returned with the very best athletes from skateboarding and BMX along with outstanding musical acts and solid industry sponsor support. Attendance and media attention has skyrocketed and Clash at Clairemont has cemented its first-class reputation as a family-oriented celebration of action sports and charitable cause! • In 2013, Clash at Clairemont featured the Sonic Generations of Skate, presented by SEGA. This unique team competition format paid tribute to three generations of halfpipe skateboa rders. Clash 7 was seen on Fox Sports Network by over 1.1 million viewers! • In 2016, the 10th anniversary of Clash at Clairemont, Skatercross® Skateboard Racing debuted in front of a record crowd. It aired on ABC’s World of X Games and was seen by more than 850,000 households, garnering incredible ratings and intro- ducing a new discipline of skateboarding to the world.

Komplettiert wird das Erlebnis mit täglichen Konzerten, mit Kunst und Kulinarik. Seit drei Jahrzehnten ist LAAX maßgeblich an der Entwicklung des Snowboardens beteiligt. Heute gehört LAAX zu den Top Freestyle Spots rund um den Globus. Im Tal steht die erste Freestyle Halle Europas, die Freestyle Academy. Auf dem Crap Sogn Gion thront die größte Halfpipe der Welt. Die LAAX OPEN 2016 vergeben 500.000 US$ Preisgeld an die Besten der Besten in Pipe und Slopestyle Contests. Das alles hat seine Vorgeschichte und seine Berechtigung. Auch dank der Partner, mit denen LAAX kooperiert. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKtGGKIf0cQ Als vor Jahrzehnten die ersten Rider mit ihren Snowboards das Revier in LAAX erforschten, vor 30 Jahren die erste Pipe in LAAX gebaut wurde, selbst als die ersten internationalen Contests in den 80er Jahren hier stattfanden, da waren viele der aktiven Snowboarder noch gar nicht geboren.
