Gretchen Bleiler & Louie Vito pose naked for ESPN: The Magazine

By: Heather Hendricks

If someone asked you to pose naked for millions to see, would you do it? If you had a body as rock hard and toned as Louie Vito and Gretchen Bleiler, your answer would most likely be yes.

Today, ESPN: The Magazine released a few tantalizing photos from their latest issue, The Body Issue, which features photos of top athletes sporting everything that their mama gave them, buck naked in their birthday suits. Olympic snowboarders, Gretchen Bleiler and Louie Vito are among the athletes featured and have several shots in the magazine which hits newsstands on October 7th.

In a behind-the-scenes interview during the shoot, Gretchen commented that initially being naked was "nerve-racking" but as the day wore on, she became more and more comfortable.

Gretchen also said, "It's a huge honor to be grouped in with some of the most amazing and skilled athletes in the world. Celebrating Men, women. Every different kind of body, every different kind of sport and showing that everything is beautiful in a very athletic way. I want to be strong and I want to be badass and I think we accomplished that."

We knew Gretchen and Louie were ripped, but their physiques are seriously epic. Who knew the Tiny Dancer was hiding all that under his dancing clothes?!

Head here to check out ESPN's gallery of all the athletes called "Bodies we want."

While many of us were sulking because the season is practically over, Norwegian shredder, Stale Sandbech was busy stomping a brand new trick. A video of the 18-year-old hitting a massive kicker in Europe just surfaced, and in it, Sandbech stomps a triple underflip 1260. Yeah, we didn't really think that was possible either, but this video from Stale's sponsors proves it.

After seeing the video, we had to know what was going through Sandbech's mind when he stomped the new trick...
