Shaun White – pro snowboarder, pro skater and, if this photo is anything to go by, apparently a problem gambler.

OK, I don’t know if this is generally available news as yet – if it turns out it isn’t, please don’t tell anyone you heard it here… I have enough issues with “privacy” as it is – I mean, how was I to know that she was going to have a problem with the photos? She was the one who left the bathroom window open. Anyway, after taking out X-Games 13 this week Shaun White is looking like he’s going to have a pretty solid year on the vert ramp. Rumor has it Shaun will be taking a breather from the snow to concentrate on making a 1080 out of the vert ramp. That’s right, for those who can’t count that is three complete rotations. He has the right mentor, Tony Hawk, and I think if anyone was going to do it right now, it would be Shaun – so keep your eyes on the internets.
