The Sports Syndicate’s Louie Vito has qualified for the US Olympic Snowboard Halfpipe Team on January 23rd in Park City, UT. Vito finished with 800 points on the season after having secured two 2nd place finishes at the Copper and Mammoth Grand Prix stops.
“When I get to Vancouver, I want it to be an experience and really take it all in”, said Vito of his Olympic opportunity. “You know, it’s a once in a lifetime chance and I want to do well and put down a good run, but I just really want to take it all in and enjoy it, and have fun.”
The Olympic Team was determined by ranking the riders according to their two best finishes among the five (5) Grand Prix events. The third best finish was used in the event of a tie.
Louie would like to thank his sponsors for their support: 686, Monster Energy Drink, Omatic, Spy, Skullcandy, Sprint, Mountain High, Kicker, Neff and Vestal.
