Wow, I feel like such a prat "reporting" this, but here goes. It is confirmed that Snowboarding's own Louie Vito will be on this fall's season of "Dancing With the Stars".

Some fun facts about this situation:

• Todd Richards, snowboard legend and owner of Vito's board sponsor company O'Matic Snowboards, broke the news to the industry via Twitter this morning.
• According to Louie's "Official Website" (www.louievito.com), Louie CAN'T dance
• Also according to his website, Louie has never even seen the show
• The show premiers live on September 21st.
• Louie is asking his fans for all the support he can get. "Please vote and vote often"

Admittedly I just requested tickets to the "live taping" in L.A. Looks like there is a wait-list, but either way you can be sure you'll hear more on this.

Also, big props to Vito for landing the first ever frontside double-cork 1080 in competition this past weekend at the Burton New Zealand Open during Semi's. Louie had the top score going into Finals but was ousted by Shaun White's back-to-back double-corks.
