Thought I should let people know this. After pipe semi finals at WSI he went and did some kangaroo flips on the step up. Almost 30 years old, skiing for less long than me and he's killin it.

Comparing skiing to surfing (on the body) is rediculous. Skiing is so much harder on your body than surfing.

big wave surfing can fuck you up. Sure you're in water, but getting driven into a reef by a large wave is bad news.

i remember when i first discovered "The Vent". I was walking from my hotel in the summer at momentum ski camps to go into the village. i walked over it not knowing about the air...and it blew my shorts wayyy to high. after that the spit sessions started

I went to Tony Romas A couple months ago........ And he was working there and then he came a talked to me and stuff it was cool. Could be that this is also his home town. But still working at Tony Romas.

its because they are easier then they look. So everyone thinks absurd, but its not so much. I can Kangaroo even tho thats the most ridiculous name ever but I can't touch a switch rightside 10.

the best was a few years ago opening up a bag of those craft feathers over the spit vent. so intense. it was like some parrots got caught in a food processor...
