Shaun White

Thank the Winter Olympics coverage from Torino, Italy for making "The Flying Tomato" into a household name when snowboarder Shaun White claimed the Gold, but don't sleep on the young man's skateboarding skills either: in his first year as a skate competitor in 2005 he won Silver at the X-Games and won the Panasonic Open for the first stop of the Dew Action Sports Tour.
