Louis "Louie" Vito (born March 20, 1988) is an American professional snowboarder. He is an Olympian, and Winter X Games and U.S. Grand Prix Champion.
Louis Vito was born in Columbus, Ohio, but grew up in the nearby city of Bellefontaine. In his teenage years, he moved to Vermont to pursue his love of snowboarding by enrolling in the Stratton Mountain School - a ski and snowboarding academy. There, he spent his high school years snowboarding in the morning and studying in the afternoons, and traveling to competitions when time permitted. After graduating high school, he moved to Sandy, Utah.
Louie Vito has won four of the past five U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix Overall Championships, five X Games medals, two Winter Dew Tour Cup Overall Championships, among many other accolades.
He rose to prominence on the professional snowboarding scene at age 17 by completing a backside 1080 at the Australian Open Snowboarding Championships - making him the first rider to successfully pull off the complex move in an Australian competition. This helped propel Vito to the top of the podium, capturing his first of two consecutive championships there.

Morning comes slow when you don't know
If your gonna make it there so you bite your nails and pull your hair
You grind your teeth and man don't you do your share
It's a wicked addiction, pure friction
And the truth about your lies is their all just fiction
And now I know so I'm just gonna have to let you go
And it took you to show me how
That it takes two to bring each other down
You brought me down
Day moves quick when you stick yourself sick
For an hour you float then it's all back down
You pass the others as your leaving town
And it's a crooked affliction your mind gets spinning
And your spine gets twisted
And everybody that you know is out to take everything you own
Each other
Night moves fast the shadows that you cast
Run away from you
And everyone that you touch turns blue
And their all watching you
And it's a wicked addiction, pure friction
And the truth about your lies
Is their all just fiction and now I know
So I'm gonna have to let you go
And it's a wicked addiction pure friction
