LOUIE VITO WINS AGAIN AT THE US SNOWBOARDING GRAND PRIX IN KILLINGTON
Spy Team Rider - Louie Vito
Spy’s nineteen-year-old Louie Vito had his work cut out for him at the final stop of the Chevy Grand Prix series in Killington, Vermont. Louie qualified second going into the finals with a few key competitors to beat for the overall title and a brand new truck.
His first run, which consisted of back to back 10's, back to back 9's and a crippler, put him in first. With one run remaining it was a waiting game. Janne Corpi, the number one qualifier and last rider was unable to beat Louie’s flawless performance. Louie was crowned the 2008 Chevy U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix champion and drove home to Sandy, Utah in a brand new Chevy truck.
You can’t stop this freight train of talent…Louie is just coming off of two wins at the second stop of the U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix in Tamarack and the 48Straight Jeep King of the Mountain event along with a second at the Vans Cup Tahoe. He now just sits outside the TTR top 15 at World No. 16. Not bad for this Columbus, Ohio native with a stellar halfpipe career ahead of him.
Dragon Eyewear Team Rider, Robbie Maddison Sets Jump World Record!
Dragon Team Rider Robbie Maddison
Dragon's Robbie Maddison leapt into the record books New Years eve. Maddison shattered the old motorcycle distants record of 277 feet by jumping his CR500 322 feet 7.5 inches at the the Rio Casino in Las Vegas.
"I came here to jump a football field," said Maddison. "Conditions weren't perfect, but I'm happy with the result. Yesterday in rehearsal, I went 350 feet and I knew 360 feet was achievable. We did all we could, but the winds played a bigger factor than we planned. But this is called the Red Bull Experiment, and we didn't know what the outcome would be. I just want to thank everyone that made this jump possible and a big thanks to all the fans who came out to support me. This is just the beginning."
Dragon Eyewear is stoked to have this madman on the team!
