Sadly, there aren’t two showings that night because we were looking forward to watching it over, and over, and over again. . . .

This Video Sucks’ tripod of homies: Joe Sexton, Simon Chamberlain, and JP Walker.
Last night (Thursday, September 17, 2009) ThirtyTwo invited the shred media up for a big This Video Sucks premiere party. They opened the doors to the Sole Technology company store at 5 PM and let everyone do a little shopping for new snow boots and brand spankin’ new ThirtyTwo outerwear.
After that it was a private skate Session with the ThirtyTwo team, followed by a taco fiesta, and an unlimited stream of PBR’s in the back lot, and an outdoor screening of Defective Films’ ThrityTwo/Step Child joint This Video Sucks featuring JP Walker, Simon Chamberlain, Joe Sexton, Markku Koski, Risto Ruokola, Fredu Sorvio, Stian Solberg, Eman Anderson, and Scotty Vine.
By 9:15 PM all the chairs were full and it was standing room only well over 200 people settled in for some shred film. This Video Sucks is a smooth little rail film with friendly banter/shit-talking between the players and a couple big backcountry hucks thrown in for good measure. Joe Sexton took the most grief for his below par sled and ugly helmet combo which made the audience erupt into laughter several times. But the video is more about friends working together to get the job done. When Sexton describes JP Walker, Simon Chamberlain, and himself as a “tripod of homies” he pretty well sums up the flow of the film.

People Magazine’s Dancing with The Stars Blogger Louie Vito is keeping it real on the dance floor and on the blog getting ready for the two-hour live kick off show for Dancing With The Stars. next Monday.
It is crunch time and now I am ready to step it up. Finally, I have all the steps down and it is now time to fine tune them and add a little extra flare. Moving my hips more in the salsa, watching what my hands do, getting my posture on point for the foxtrot and so on, will be my focus this week. Yes, I am not going to lie, I am nervous for the first show. How can I not be? I am doing something I am not comfortable with in front of the world on live TV. On the flip side, I am excited to get it going. I have been dancing every day, learning and listening for three weeks now and I am ready to show everyone what I can do. Whatever happens this first week, I have had more fun than I ever thought I would.
We can tell by the way he uses his walk, he’s a woman’s man, no time to talk. . . .

Boomerang’s expertise, creativity and business qualities will have a significant positive impact on our business. . . “Long term, it gives us a stronger foundation to project the Method brand to a bigger audience, and short term, it helps us to focus on delivering high quality content both in print and online to our existing audience. . . . “It also enables us to focus on our advertisers’ needs for partnerships with media groups like us in print magazine, online and IPTV for the future growth of snowboarding.”
And another indy goes corporate. Hope it worked out well for the entire Method team.

On Labor Day 2009 snowboarder Todd Richards, writer Sean Mortimer, and skateboarder Jesse Fritsch, and Sweet Jerome (qualified old guys all) holed up at a secret southern California mini ramp and spent the entire afternoon trying to land frontside blunts. Tony Hawk even threw in a $300 prize. Let’s just say Todd Richards didn’t win.

People magazine is reporting that Louie Vito “is stoked” to be blogging for them during his time on Dancing With The Stars. Starting September 21, 2009 we can all tune in each week for more of this:
So when I found out I was going to be doing a blog on my experiences on DWTS, I was stoked. Then I started to think, ‘What am I going to write about that would make people interested?’ Well, first let’s start with who I am:. . . I’m a pro snowboarder and I absolutely LOVE what I do. I’ve been snowboarding ever since I was 5- or 6-years-old. This December and January, I am going to be trying out for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Just making the Olympics for the U.S. is a feat in itself. So, right now I have been trying to get in shape and strong for the upcoming snowboard season and practice, and do what I need to do for DWTS, which brings us to the show …
Damnit, Louie. You’re playing the celebrity game so earnestly that we find it hard to even make fun of you.
