Early Olympians reportedly competed nude. In that sense, this Terry Richardson Rolling Stone cover of Shaun White rocking out shirtless over his burning board makes some sort of sense.
Shaun White has revolutionized snowboarding, won the big gold in Vancouver and lit his snowboard aflame, Hendrix-style, on the cover of the new issue of Rolling Stone, joining an elite club of athletes to appear on our cover not once, but twice. . .
