Sean White and other stars…….snowboard and freestyle competition finals Saturday and Sunday

Northstar at Tahoe hosts Toyota Championship
February 18 - February 22
Calling Shaun White "The Flying Tomato" is like calling San Francisco "Frisco" - it's stupid. Be that as it may, some moron will yell it out sometime next week as Mr. White seeks to maintain his #1 spot at the end-up for the Dew Tour put on by NBC and MTV at Northstar.
Currently he's holding down both the Superpipe and Slopestyle top spots and is coming off another gold at the Winter X Games in Aspen where he was the first athlete to win double, back-to-back golds. With that out of the way, the living legend of snowboarding is headed to Lake Tahoe next week to compete for a grab at the $1.5 million dollar purse put up by MTV and NBC.
Training starts on Wednesday, February 18 with the finals obviously going down over the weekend.
Other rock stars on the Snowboard side of the vibe in order of standing coming out of Breckenridge, include: Danny Davis, Scotty Lago, Steve Fischer with the women being rounded out by Kelly Clark, Hannah Teeter, Kjersti Østgaard and Elena Hight.
MTV is obviously bringing it's entertainment factor in the way of music with a concert performance on Friday afternoon at 5 p.m. Relatively unknown, obscure and very weird, Los Angeles based Tweak Bird opens for Common, who's no stranger to Tahoe. He played a supporting role at South Lake Tahoe's Montbleu Resort a few years ago in "Smokin' Aces" with Jeremy Piven and directed by local Sac State grad, Joe Carnahan.
