I was digging through the old Racer X films Archive of video and saw the video of Shaun palmer preparing for last years outdoor season. Just wondering what happened to him, in the video it said he had a deal with YOT that if he qualified 1 out of 5 races they would give him support for the whole season.

He's too slow, he had his chance back before the professional trainer days, he's screwed now.

Just what I saw, and not even sure what event it was. He barely won and got a lucky break to move into 1st.
The old Shaun Palmer was bad ass.

The guy's 39 years old. He qualified for the Olympic team for the '06 olympics, then tore his quads all to hell. This is after having drug and alcohol problems so bad it almost killed him.

So far this year he's won every snowboard event he's been in. And he didn't win "just barely". People rarely run away in snowboardcross. And now he's back on the US Ski and Snowboard team. We'll see about the next Olympics.

He didn't do very well at the X games.

Dudes a badass. He'll be 40 by the time he lines up for the olympics. His best days are behind him, but if he's still qualifying for the olympics at 39, DRUG and HGH FREE, then he deserves a little more credit.
