In a message posted on Twitter, White said typing the words made him as emotional as he was last week, when he took his final Olympic halfpipe run, holding his helmet in the air, tears in his eyes as his competitors lined up to congratulate a snowboarding legend. White said his final Olympic journey"has been a rollercoaster of emotions and I am overwhelmed with appreciation."
He thanked his team, his family, his role model Tony Hawk, his fans and the late Jake Burton, who gave him his first snowboard and his first sponsorship at the age of 7. "I wish he could have been at the bottom of the halfpipe in Beijing, just as he was at every other Olympics prior," White wrote.
