\u00a0\u201cAir + Style brings together my personal and professional interests in a unique and cool way,” said White. \u201cSeeing sports, music, fashion, art and culture collide at a venue like the Rose Bowl is going to be awesome.\u00a0The Rose Bowl is an iconic stadium that carries meaning for the residents of Pasadena, the city of Los Angeles and college football fans across the USA.\u00a0\u00a0 It felt like a natural fit for such a unique event.\u00a0Air + Style has been an international event since 1993. I have traveled the world snowboarding and having recently toured internationally with my band BAD THINGS.\u00a0 It was cool to see how people around the world react to sports and music in such different yet similar ways. Air + Style brings these worlds together.\u00a0This event has so many elements (food, art, music, sports) and appeals to people of all ages. I love that all my friends and family can come and enjoy the two-day experience.\u201c<\/p>\n

I hope that the growth of snowboarding in the 21 years Shaun has been involved in the sport will take another step with this event. It will be exciting to see the convergence of action sports, music, art and culture, which has been so much a part of his life. I get excited just thinking about snow coming to Pasadena!\u201c<\/span><\/p>\n
