Louie Vito Wins Grand Prix Title!

Monday, March 31st, 2008

2-gp3_mjpgnull.jpegThe 19-year-old phenom won the halfpipe competition as well as the overall season title at the Killington stop of the Chevy U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix and drove home in his new Chevy Truck!

“I’m stoked on the truck. I got beat out of the tie breaker last year so I guess I had to wait a year to get it but now I have a fresh looking Avalanche and it feels good to get it,” Vito said. “I just wanted to handle it on my first run. I’m happy. It was a good tour and a good season and now I can chill and enjoy the rest of the winter.”

This event closed the curtains on a season of epic halfpipe competition at the Chevy U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix, with Shaun White winning the first Grand Prix and Louie Vito winning the final two and the overall title.

If you were at Winter Music Conference and happened to be kicking around Miami Beach, hopefully you stopped by the soiree Skullcandy and comrades had a-brewing. Big talent was on display: Roxy Cottontail as hostess, and live DJ sets from A-Trak, Klever, Craze, Vice, Tittsworth, and other worthies.

Yes, yes, y’all…we went HUGE. But who wouldn’t for a friend like Yuki on his birthday?!! He knows just the right amount of cleavage to show and always looks good in a hat.

Kudos to our girl DJ Nina 9 of XM Radio’s The City (ch. 67) for lacing up the group with these new hot numbers. And congratulations to Danity Kane for debuting at #1 on The Billboard 200 chart with their new album “Welcome to the Dollhouse.” The group’s self-titled first record also hit #1. The fellas are on notice.

Del the Funky Homosapien hearts his SK PROs

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

The expansion of the SXSW Music Festival to include hip-hop and other important genres made this chance encounter with half-man, half-myth Del the Funky Homosapien possible. The style, however, was deliberate…both Del’s and Skullcandy’s.
