LOUIE VITO
At the 2010 US Open Superpipe finals Louie Vito dropped into a back-to-back-to-back series of double corks, jumping into second place with a run that left everyone dizzy. Louie pulled off a double cork 1080, to cab double cork 1080, to double crippler, then a backside nine and a huge frontside 1260. Whoa!
This time Vito had to settle for another under judged score that kept him in second. On paper, Vito's run added up to a whole lot more, and the crowd let the judges know their position after the spinning snowboarder did not make it on the top step of the podium.
"I'm just stoked to do it," said Vito about sticking three double flips into one run. "Danny Davis has always a been a good friend of mine, and he did three and broke them down in different spots. Danny and Kevin inspired me -- so I just had to step it up and try something different."
