We’ve always loved small-town newspaper coverage of action sports athletes, but the Newburyport News’ story on Scotty Lago’s third place finish at last weekend’s US Snowboarding Grand Prix at Copper Mountain is all time. Sports editor Dan Guttenplan begins by calling the US Grand Prix “the Winter Dew Tour,” and it only gets better from there.
He’ll likely compete in the three-stop Winter Dew Series, the Winter X Games and the United State Open. He also plans to film a Brain Farm Cinema snowboarding video in Jackson Hole, Wy., and along the Nissan X-Trail in Tokyo. . . [Lago] was well known in snowboarding circles for his ability to execute the most difficult jumping tricks with smooth precision.”
We’re looking forward to seeing Lago shred down Tokyo’s Nissan X-Trail and watching him “execute the most difficult jumping tricks with smooth precision” at the “United State Open,” aren’t you?
