Ayone who said Pollard should remember he was fruit-booting when the New Canadian Airforce was designing the 1080.

Skogan was snowboarding while Plake and Hattrup and Schmitt were pointing it down the Palisades at Squaw...

No disrespect to Skogan...he is one of the most talented snow athlete out there - fck he lived across the street from me for five years at Alpine Meadows....

Nothing crazier than following him and Fiala down some mean strgt lines over rock hard avy debris...

the godfather of the sport??

Modern Freeskiing = Glen Plake

I think plake or miller is the Godfather of Skiing, but not of our kinda skiing. For my style everything is about Morrison and Mckonkey, because they relly did create their own segment of skiing. I mean morrison has actually been around for a a really long time, back in the days of long ass straight skiis and stuff. I'd say moseley and douglas for park, park stemmed out of moguls and moseley pushed those limits.

The Godfather of ski is Douglas man, him and Shane Szocks have develloped mosty of what we know as new school skiing. Glen Plake is also very influential, and Den Treadway for the BC. Not to mention the eastern mogul and ballet skiers of the 70 and 60. i hate to say it but ou look where twin tips come from, just look to ballet skiing.

Guys, I already told you, it's Teddy Knape. Skiing wouldn't exist if not for him. Hell, the human RACE wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Teddy. Pay your respects.

My personal major influence, was Candide, I saw him at X pipe and was suddenley tottally stoked to be a skier again. I went out bout Happy Dayz, and I was hooked to it
