Nike Films Commercial at Aspen Snowmass

We heard via twitter that several Nike riders including Elena Hight and Louie Vito were heading to Aspen to shoot some ads. What we didn't know is that they are shooting a commercial, too. Word is there will be fireworks in the halfpipe at Snowmass, which has already closed for the season.

Guess we'll have to wait for next season to see what comes out of this shoot...unless there's a twitter leak!

As we expected, Scotty Lago hasn't managed to hold to his March embargo on talking about the flirty pictures of him and his bronze Olympic medal that lead him to leave Vancouver.
 
On Friday night he appeared in the Jimmy Kimmel Live show in the US.
 
Speaking about the unique bronze medal, Kimmel said, "It looks like the world's largest penny."
 
"It's cool because every one is unique. Everyone has it's own bend and shape," Scotty responded.

Scotty Lago to appear on Jimmy Kimmel show on Friday

by Lucie McLean : February 23, 2010 - 16:07 : : 0 comments

We just heard from ABC's PR peeps that Scotty Lago will be appearing on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live on Friday February 26.

 
Lago took bronze in the men's halfpipe in Vancouver but made headlines too for some pictures of him with his medal and some ladies which earned him a slap on the wrist from Olympic officials.
 
Apparently he isn't talking about the incident until March but maybe Kimmel will be able to wangle something out of him. Tune in at 12.05am on ABC to find out. 
 
If you're outside the US we'll report anything juicy that we hear!
