Gus Kenworthy recently attended the Burning Man festival in Nevada. It’s not his first time attending and he’s clearly a big fan of the unique event. Over the weekend, the 32-year-old posted photos and video clips to his Instagram from his most recent visit.

However, the post that really caught the internet’s attention was one of the former Olympian riding a bike. He’s wearing just a vest and jockstrap covered in soft-toy bears.

The video is not shy about showing off Kenworthy’s backside – so you might wanna be careful where you watch it. We’re not able to embed it here so you have to view it on Instagram.

“Why is this video 3 hours long?” quipped one follower who clearly watched it on repeat.

“Never knew how bad I wanted to be a seat until now,” joked another.

Designing his own outfit

On his Instagram stories, Kenworthy responded to someone asking him how he came up with his outfit.

He said that he discovered a stall selling furry keychain toys and was struck by inspiration. He bought dozens and “began to attach them to one another to create my ‘animal print vest’.”

“But after putting it on I realized I needed something else to complete the lewk … so I made a jock to match.”

Kenworthy, who came out as gay in 2015, retired from competitive freeskiing after the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing. He has since pursued a career in acting. He has appeared in a handful of productions, including American Horror Story, the horror flick The Sacrifice Game, and this year’s remake of Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead.
