Podcast appearances and mentions of louie vito

While Lucas Foster is not a one-trick pony, when he landed his Alley Oop Double McTwist in the pipe,  his career and his life totally changed forever.  What's crazy is that Lucas grew up in Telluride, a place without a halfpipe, meaning Lucas came up learning his tricks at contests with barely any practice.  Nowadays, Lucas has all the resources available to up the ante even more as he's a member of the US Snowboard Team, and at just 24, who knows what he'll add to his bag of tricks. On the podcast, we talk about his goal of being the GOAT, mentoring from Jason Cannon, contests, coaching, and more.

Did he leave snowboarding or did snowboarding kick him out? Arguably the best to ever do it, Shaun White has accumulated dozens of medals including multiple Olympic golds and even two perfect 100 run scores in pipe. Wearing pants tighter than most and a stance wider than anyone else at the top of the pipe, he managed to make a truly timeless impact on the sport. For years he was miles ahead of the competition, going bigger and faster than the rest. Now he's focusing his energy on his new snowboard brand: Whitespace, and plans to be a part of the snowboard community for the foreseeable future.

Louie Vito has done it all: Champion snowboarder, reality TV star on ‘Dancing with the Stars', playing himself in the sequel to ‘Point Break', and there is so much more to him. On part 2 with Louie, we dive into sponsors, contests, Danny Kass and the Grenade Crew, the fact that no brand ever put big marketing dollars behind him, and so much more. Louie is not the guy I thought he was going to be, he's the hardest man working on the game. And a badass in his own right, Toby Miller, asks the Inappropriate Questions. Louie Vito Show Notes: 3:30: Wanting to be pro at 5, quitting other sports, Sims, and the Rick Kane analogy for Stratton Mountain School  14:00: Sleeping in his Burton boots, who is he in school with, 2002 Olympics, and his first big injury    22:00:  Stanley:  Get 30% off site wide with the code drinkfast Peter Glenn Ski and Sports:  Over 60 years of getting you out there 10 Barrel Brewery:  Buy their beers, they support action sports more than anyone 24:00: Forum, O-Matic, Volcom, not getting sponsor support, snowboarding being too school for school, and Natural Selection 36:00: Podiums, first X Games, Danny Kass, and no pressure but trouble at Aspen X  42:00:  Rollerblade: Ski season may be over but that feeling lasts all year with inline skating Elan Skis:  Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better 44:00: Unhealthy sponsors (Energy Drinks and Fast Food), important sponsors (Toyota, G-Shock, Melin, Ethica, Wienerschnitzel), what he spends his money on and is there another Olympic run? 60:00: Inappropriate Questions with Toby Miller  

Louie Vito is a badass snowboarder. He's an Olympian, a US Grand Prix Champion, a Dew Tour Champion, an X Games medalist, and he comes from a 300 vertical foot hill in Ohio. He also seems to know everyone form celebrities to pro athletes, he's competed in Dancing With The Stars, he's been in a Hollywood blockbuster movie and he's pretty humble about it all. On the podcast, we talk being Italian, his crazy work ethic, this influence of his dad, and so much more. Chris Beresford asks the Inappropriate Questions.   Louie Vito Show Notes: 3:30: Competing for Italy, painful citizenship process, speaking the language, and his Olympic history    22:00:  Stanley:  Get 30% off site wide with the code drinkfast Peter Glenn Ski and Sports:  Over 60 years of getting you out there 10 Barrel Brewery:  Buy their beers, they support action sports more than anyone 24:15: Italian roots, his dad, inspirational quotes, and being competitive     38:00: Team sports and snowboarding 42:00:  Rollerblade: Ski season may be over but that feeling lasts all year with inline skating Elan Skis:  Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better 44:00: Ohio sports and has he met Lebron, Midwest snowboarding, Woodward Gymnastics, Space Camp, and once in a lifetime experience    64:00: Monster v Red Bull, Windell's, Tim Windell, Steven Fox, Jeremy Jones, JP Walker, 7 7:00: Inappropriate Questions with Chris Beresford

In this episode, Cody has a conversation with professional snowboarder Louie Vito. Louie grew up in Ohio, where winter is short and there wasn’t much of a snowboard scene. So if he wanted to pursue snowboarding at a professional level, he had to travel. At that point, his dad was his mentor and his coach. He would bring Louie to events, competitions and snowboard camp. Louie eventually enrolled in Stratton Mountain School, a boarding school in Vermont that specializes in training winter sports athletes. There, he was around likeminded peers, all focused on the same goal. Today, Louie is a top tier competition rider who has expanded his professional repertoire with charities and a televised dance competition. To ensure a stable of future professional riders, snowboard companies promote amateur riders who show the most promise. That support helps boost their exposure and helps solidify their place in the industry. Louie says he never had that support as an amateur, so he had to find his own way in. He did that by proving himself, competition after competition. Forcing his name into the conversation. Looking back on it now, he’s happy it turned out that way. He’s glad he was brought up to persevere. He remembers something his dad would tell him in those moments of frustration. He said, “If you’re good enough, then they can’t ignore you.” Note: This episode was recorded before the COVID-19 quarantine.

Today our guest is Olympic snowboarder, Louie Vito. In this episode, Louie speaks on his come up in extreme sports, traveling the world, winning an insane amount of trophies and medals, competing in the Olympics, and even getting on Dancing With The Stars during its biggest season to date.

Chelsies' StoryIf someone had told me when I was a child that I was going to be dancing and performing on two national TV shows in my late teens to early twenties, I would have thrown up in my mouth. Not only was I shy to the point that I wouldn't make eye contact with anyone I didn't know, but I HATED dance class with a passion.​I was born in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 21, 1989. I grew up in a strong Christian home with 5 rambunctious, spirited older brothers who didn't mind practicing there football skills on me, and routinely tackled me in a passing in the hallway. When I was 6 years old, my family moved to Orem, Utah. Looking back, it's safe to say there was never a dull moment in the Hightower household and I am extremely grateful for my childhood. If I had to describe it in 3 words, laughter, love, and chaos would best summarize our times together.​When I was 9, my family moved to a new neighborhood in Utah, which also meant I had to attend a new school. Coincidentally, this school offered the only elementary after-school ballroom program in America. That is how I was first introduced to ballroom dancing. At first, I was the worst one in class. I was the last to pick up the steps and had to stay after class so the teacher could help me learn the steps. Soon after I got past that first initial awkward learning phase and being cut in the very first round of my first competition, I discovered my talent. I went from getting cut in the first round to taking first place in almost every competition in which me and my partner had entered, in a fairly short amount of time.​When I was 11, I won my first national title. Soon after, I was re-introduced to jazz, ballet, and hip-hop, in which the three styles became MY ENTIRETY. I auditioned on a whim. A friend had called and said she was auditioning and I thought, “Might as well try it out.” I made the highest team for my age category with merely no experience. It wasn't long before I completely fell in love with the whole experience and it became my life. All I wanted was to be great. I ate, slept, and breathed dancing. Within a short time, I was earning scholarships from various dance competitions and conventions, which, to us, were as big of a deal as it got.​2 years later, fate stepped in and an opportunity to go back to ballroom came into my life: a great partner and sponsored training with some of the best coaches in the world. There was no question it was an amazing opportunity, but it also meant that i would have to leave my jazz studio entirely and was I willing to leave my best friends and a passion I couldn't imagine, at the time, living without? I was 14 and it was the hardest decision I would have made up to that point. To leave that studio, my passion for that style of dance, and all my best friends, and step back into the “ballroom” world, which is vastly different. But I felt strongly and knew ballroom was where I was supposed to be, so I took the leap of faith and that would be my life for the next two years.​We traveled all around the world for competitions. My world became filled with fake tanning solution, the Russian language, and expensive dance dresses. My partner and I worked hard and quickly became one of the top 3 couples in the country, before eventually becoming the National Ten-dance champions. We earned the opportunity to be a part of Team USA in the biggest competition in the world, the British Open in Blackpool, England, and the opportunity to represent our country at the worlds. Well, all good things come to an end and my partner and I split after 2 years of competing.​I was 16 by this point and soon after the split I started my teaching career. Coaching younger couples at first until eventually I was teaching couples who were much older then I was. I loved being on the other side; being able to teach what I knew about dance and even about life to students whom I took great care in. I helped in achieving national titles for some of these starlings and was rewarded to see the substantial growth in each. When I wasn't at the studio teaching I was actually able to have a social life, which was a little uncommon for me and be heavily involved in high school activities, dances and the likes. One of the best years of my life.I was 17 when I started dancing with my second partner and within a short 4 months we became international finalists. We had 3 crazy months of living, training, and teaching students in North Carolina. On weekends we'd fly up to NYC to train and compete. At the end of the summer we moved back to Utah and trained for another 3 months, until my partner decided to move back to North Carolina and I stayed in Utah to finish my senior year.​3 months after that the famous “So You Think You Can Dance” auditions came to town.​I was nervous when I auditioned but I felt peace, reflecting on the doors that were opened to me and where the pieces had fallen in my life, feeling this was something that was “meant to be.” I made it straight through to vegas that night and the top 20 was to come soon after. I made it to the top 6 on that show being one of the 2 contestants who had never been in the bottom 3. Those three months were some of the most magical moments of my life. To add to the magic, two of the duo's I had danced in, “Bleeding love” choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon and “A los Amigos” choreographed by Dmitry Chaplin, were nominated for Emmy's several months later, which was a huge honor to be a part of.​Sytycd tour was to follow. Thousands and thousands of screaming fans at our shows every night, seeing the country, and making life-long friendships with my fellow contestants, made up the next four months.I was on my way home from tour about to board the flight when I got the call from Dancing With the Stars to be on there next spring season. It didn't look likely since I was still contracted with Fox, but I put the call in anyway to see if they could make a miracle happen. Nigel was great and let me out of my contract.​It was a whirl-wind when I first started and a bit over-whelming. None the less, I was ready and excited to take on the challenge.Which brings us to the present day. DWTS is truly a dancers dream job, and I am so grateful to be a part of it. I am constantly striving to improve and work on my art form as there is ALWAYS more to learn. My partners have included Ty Murray, Louie Vito, Jake Pavelka, Michael Bolton, Romeo Miller, Roshon Fegan, and Helio Castroneves all of whom I have had the opportunity of creating close bonds with and learn valuable life lessons from.​Thinking over these more recent years there are so many memories and treasured moments that I will always hold close to my heart. When I was nominated for an Emmy Award for the paso doble “Maleguena” I had choreographed with fellow pro Derek. When my publicist called and told me I would have a two page spread in the iconic magazine Sports Illustrated “swimsuit edition” and then not long after the cover of the national magazine “Fitness.” When I had the opportunity to go oversees to visit the troops in which became a life altering experience. Being on the cover of DanceSpirit magazine. Which was an honor that was only a distant dream to me as a teenager. The opportunities to endorse products, most recently being the face of Reeboks' new dance line. And just simply getting to go on trips with some of my best friends to dance for crowds around the country and get paid for it. There are still many more things I want to achieve and experiences I want to have and ill keep striving for those until I reach them.It was through the long hours in the studio battling and fighting to make my mark, pushing through illnesses and motivated by my failures, that I found my passion, confidence, work ethic, and most of all the will to succeed. Therefore dance is not just a hobby, but it is a huge part of who I am.​I realize that I have been blessed with much while at the same time, faced with many challenges. Challenges in which I cherish, for they have allowed me to grow and have kept me grounded and humble. Even through the successes I realize that with out God, I am nothing and with out the support of my mother and family through out the years, I wouldn't have been able to pursue this passion of mine. I always strive to remain true to who I am no matter the circumstance, and that determination to do so keeps me focused on the positive things in life, striving everyday to be an example of love, light, and passion to those around me.
