Add Andy Finch and Tommy Czeschin to the list of snowboarders who are followingLouie “Tiny Dancer” Vito into the world of reality TV as the two shreds compete as a team in the CBS reality travel show The Amazing Race.
Here is their bio:
As members of the United States Olympic Snowboarding team in 2002 and 2006 respectively, Tommy Czeschin, 31, and Andy Finch, 30, have “years of experience knowing how to be focused and get in our zone,” Finch says. But they know their weaknesses. “Typical snowboarder – the book smarts part of it is probably going to be the hardest for us,” Czeschin says.
The season premiere is September 25, 2011 at 8 PM. And yes, this will be good.

Looks like he’s learning the truth: skateboarding hurts.

Benefits screenwriters, Keith Merryman and David A. Newman were also in attendance, as was Olympic-winning snowboarder Shaun White – who plays himself in the flick. The “Flying Tomato” rocks, but his porn ‘stache is kind of freaking me out!
