Even after retiring from competitive snowboarding, Shaun White continues to dazzle with his snowboarding prowess, this time dedicating a new trick to his girlfriend, Nina Dobrev. The three-time Olympic gold medalist took to TikTok and Instagram to share a video of his latest snowboarding feat, affectionately named the “Nina 900.”
In the captivating video, 37-year-old White is seen performing an impressive maneuver where he lifts 35-year-old Dobrev while snowboarding. He spins several times with the “Vampire Diaries” alum hoisted by her legs, her snowboard floating in the air, before skillfully completing the “Nina 900.” The trick concludes with White gently placing Dobrev back onto the slope, and the couple then gracefully snowboards side by side.
Fans and followers were quick to express their admiration for the romantic gesture. Comments ranged from calling it “the most romantic thing I’ve ever seen” to playful suggestions about making it a new Olympic sport. Claudia Sulewski, among others, praised the move, prompting White to humorously suggest she and her boyfriend, Finneas O’Connell, should try it next.
The video not only showcases White’s undiminished skills on the snow but also highlights the playful and loving relationship between him and Dobrev. Prior to their snowy adventure, Dobrev shared with PEOPLE in 10 how the couple keeps their relationship exciting with weekly date nights, taking turns to plan each outing.
Dobrev’s appreciation for White’s support was evident as she recounted how their relationship dynamics shifted with their careers. While White was busy with Olympic preparations and training across the globe, Dobrev often traveled to be with him. However, with White visiting Dobrev in Greece during her filming of “The Bricklayer,” the support and dedication between the two are mutual, showcasing a partnership that thrives on love, support, and shared adventures.
