An email statement from White’s publicist Samantha Hill on Monday afternoon read: “Shaun is taking a short break from riding due to minor surgery he is having on his foot.” . . Hill declined to reveal the extent of White’s injury, or when it occurred. White has not competed since winning a gold medal in halfpipe at Winter X Games 15 in January.

Wonder what Mr. White has against Vermont?
