Notable:
Eito has won every MSS Vert event in 2003. He does tricks like the flat spin 1080 and double backflip 180 that no other skater will even attempt. His greatest threat for gold is his brother, Takeshi, who won X Games '02 while Eito had to settle for silver. But Eito has consistenty good results as evidenced by the fact that he finished top three in 12 out of 14 events in 2002.
