LOUIE’S CELEBRITY SUMMER
Louie has been on the move this summer. Hitting New Zealand, Canada, Oregon, and Argentina just to name a few. He has been living the “Celebrity” lifestyle rolling around with Lil’ John and staring in music videos.
Catch Louie killing it in the newest Grenade movie “The Boned Age” as well as having a few shots in the Park City Mountain Resorts “I Ride Park City”.
Here is a little thought straight from Mr. Vito about his adventure to Argentina.
“I just got back from a nice lil trip to Argentina with the Nike Crew. Nike is always dope to travel with and we have a good crew of people there so I knew the trip was going to be dope. After flying into Bariloche, we drove to a small town about an hour from Bariloche. We went riding the next day testing our new color way boots we designed. It was fun riding around the resort, it was pretty small with old fashion chairs but there was a ton of wall hits and cat track jumps. Some of us had been to Hood to ride this summer, but it was nice to ride a whole mountain in the wintertime rather than a 2 lane run in the middle of summer. Plus its funny riding with people like Austin Smith, E Jack, and JBennee who you don’t get to ride with that much since they are doin their own thing during the winter. Bill from Windowseat Productions came out as a vacation and rolled with us, which is always a good time with him.
After that first day of riding the weather rolled in. Most of the resorts we went to didn’t have the highest elevation so this first resort was gettin the same weather the town was, rain. So we chilled for a day and a half trying to wait out the weather. We got to have a big feast at a homie who was the first person to bring Grenade to Argentina. Shout out to Diego. He has an ill crib on the lake and we cooked up whole sheep and everything. Such good eating. After that, we decided to peace out early to the other spot we were suppose to hit up, Chapelco. That was about a 4 hour drive on bumpy roads.
Chapelco was alittle bigger of a town and a little higher elevation. In Chapelco’s town we recieved the same weather, rain, but on the mountain they were getting some snow. We got some good pow days there, but by mid day, the weather would rise above freezing and it would turn into hot pow.
We ducked into some of the many forests they had there and got some ill shots with Cole Barash and Andy Wright. Jess Gibson is on the program filming everything, he and Pierre are the ones who brought you those sick Robot Food movies.
We got to spend one night in Bariloche but it was dead and I think everyone was ready to get home. The trip was fun as expected. Good times with good people. Shout out to everyone. Shin and David who were our guides on the trip, Bobby Meeks for killing it as TM as always, DK, Annie, Austin, Bennee, Ejack, Laura, A. Wright, Cole Barash, Tyler Heff (he also killed it shooting), Jess Gibson, Michael, and Steve.
DONT CRY FOR MY ARGENTINA. I will be back.
Louie
