i dont think you need to do crazy shit onto rails to enjoy skiing. the simple things he made look the best. he would of done alot of other crazy shit if he acctually wanted to go somewhere with the sport. im sure hes chillin around.

I'm right there with you that travis heed's style is pretty lame, but that's not to say it's not hard. If he can do things like i said without moving a muscle, it's pretty obvious that he can do more technical stuff as well. There's many far better skiers around though, so i'm not sure why everyone decided to tea bag themselves with some T-heed.

The way Theed regards ns is the same way I regard Theed, I don't care where he is or what he's doing. He had that one cool pic and rail edit and I see no reason to idolize him for wearing baggy clothes, falling asleep on rails and taking his dermatologists advice to cover his face, cuz the sun really scorches gingers.

dude....why are u guys hating on him cuz hes not insane at jumps or backcountry......bryan gallant can shut teh fuck up, when did heed call u out saying he was a better skier than u, oh wait he didnt.....
heed just doing what he feels like doing, and his style isnt better or worse than anyone elses....its jsut different, and it the way he skis.....
And shitting on heed cuz ur better at jumps and backcountry when he never said he was better than u is just making u look like a prick....so jsut go out ski and have fun, no need to talk shit about a guy who didnt talk shit about u....
fukin pussy

I don't give a shit what he does, I'm just sick of hearing the wanksta's name brought up on ns more than all the sick-legit riders out there worth talking about instead.

in his wicked part, there actually were some cool things if u watch closely. cleaned 2 hard urbans 270'd out of one. there was a 7 or might have been switch 5. he did a 630 onto a box. a sw 270 on 450 out. and while stuff today is way more tech, at the the time it was really sick, and tons of style. he may not be the best, but no reason to bitch at him

ok to start off, dont you think you are being a hypocrite for saying "dont talk shit about a guy who didnt talk shit about you" seeing as you are yelling at gallant and being a dickhead at him? but anyways..
travis did tell me basically that he was better than me, and called me a faggot many times. sorry i wear tight pants travis!
i agree with anyone who thinks that his segment in wicked was awesome, and very progressive for its time. at a time when style wasnt that big yet, he was portraying a style nobody had really seen.
but now i feel like people can agree that you cant get very technical with that style, (if i remember correctly, his best trick (?) was a sw 270 prez 270 on that flat rail) and people have realized that this style does not work if you want to progress the sport any more than just sliding rails and doing 270s and other rail tricks that nowdays everyone and there mom can do.
i also feel like he could never make a better segment than his segment in wicked. and for its time it was a very progressive segment, and i give him props for showing how much style is a factor in being a "good" skiier. im not sure where im going with this.
all in all, i do respect travis for his segment in wicked, but i feel like skiing has progressed past just being a stylie skier, and having that be your claim to fame. i forget what ive said at this point, and dont know if i even got a point across. fuckit

bahaha I'm really not convinced he even knows how to ski. If he was capable of doing anything besides smooth 270s then why would he have blown his deal with armada?? I'm not tryin to hate on people, but he seems to have a terrible attitude and even worse skiing skills. maybe if I met him I'd have a different perspective, but the two times I've "met" him was at mt snow and he was a douche to us.

Don't you guys think that caring alone about one solemn skier is pretty juvenile and ludacris. Let alone someone as underground as heed. Think about this. Ever heard the phrase, any publicity is good publicity? Well the fact alone that heed's got some 2 pages of posts from a bunch of people who don't even know him shows alone why he got recognition. Ya'll bitchin bout heed is really suckin his diiiickk.

why is it even up for debate? and why do you - or does anyone need to be convinced what he can or can't do?
I met both travis and brian like 5 years ago at mt. snow or killy. Even though I was never anything special at park, never really looked "thugged out" or whatever, travis was always chill and a friendly kid. I don't see where you get off saying he has a bad attitude. So some random kids point a video camera at him when he's just doing his thing and ask him to say something for newschoolers and they expect him to be all about it?
Travis rarely if ever posts shit on here, and he's not the one hyping himself up. Not everyone is destined (or wants to) be a pro skier. So what. He had a vid segment that a lot of people liked, and a sick spread in SkiTime. Isn't that good enough? It seems to me like anyone that's taking the time to point out that they, or someone else can do more tech shit than travis on rails now is the one that has something to prove, not him.
If you say you're not trying to hate on people, then don't.
Second of all, Gallant - I can't believe you're going out of your way to talk shit in this thread and hype up getting on sno-force and all that. I saw your more recent pics and what not and even PMed you to give you props and say that it looks like you've gotten a lot better. Now it just looks to me like your ego has gotten a lot bigger than your bag of tricks. Did you even enter Mt. Snow comps when you were on sno-force, and if you did, did you place? I heard plenty of shit about you and sno-force and I'm not gonna go there, but now that it seems (as far as I know) that you've moved up since then - at least have some humility.
Lastly, I still have only seen a handful of people do butters as well as Travis, and he was that shit years ago.

exactly... all these kids are attached to his nuts and i was affirming why kids shouldnt be. hes not a skier hes a railslider thats it. end of story. i wanna see what he'd do ontop of a line at squaw or the big jump line at breck. i bet he'd fucking straight air the big line at breck for sure. he doesnt have much skill besides rails, im surprised he even makes it down to inferno in one piece.

Whoa Whoa Whoa Hermany, in no way am i trying to hype "snowforce" because 1. it's dead, no longer exists, finito. i brought that up to prove a point that heed as "sick" as he was back then wasnt a good enough SKIER not park rat to make the team. fuck, he couldnt even 3 a small jump that we all made for try outs, while everyone else was doing 3 grabs and sw whatever, the point is he couldnt even 360 a small jump then. Sean, I've dropped my ego, I know I'm not the best or whatever but it kills me to see these kids on NS swinging from heeds nuts, when there's actual skiers that can kill it 23487583X's harder than he will ever. yes his segment in wicked WAS sick at the time when skiing didnt really have style, but like someone said nowadays, that style isnt too progressive because you can't really get technical, which is where skiing is progressing towards, Heeds style nowadays would be on the opposite end of the spectrum, maybe even regressive.
And yes Sean heed was "chill" with you cause niel, johnson, lipps, and yourself were all frat-mates at RPI, so he kinda had to be chill because you guys all hung out together.

i would love to have travis and myself put ontop of some gnarly lines at sqauw or in the jump at breck and see what he could do, but until he has proven himself as a skier not a rail sliding park rat, he will never have my respect as a SKIER, sure hes "good" at rails, thats it end of story...
and what did i tell you about replying back to me if you're not going to use english, like someone said the 90's called and wants their ebonics back haha. you're the joke. and that loon shit was like 3 years ago things have changed, just because of 1 fall on a 22ft gap trying 270 disaster,which is a sick trick, doesnt make me a bad skier sorry nice try. try again.

So to put new perspective on why Theed shouldn't even be a gab topic of discussion, people are justifying his supreme steeze by comparing him to Gallant? Theed vs Gallant? "game-set match dunn wack cat baseball bat nigga" both of you guys need to shut up.

I have never seen you ski, heard your name before, read a post of yours - anything, until this thread, and I have to say - you fucking suck. 'Snoforce'? I don't even know what the fuck that team is and I don't want any part of it.
What you're failing to grasp here is that while you may define 'good skiing' as keeping up with the current level of progression, T Heed appeals to a lot of us because he's drastically different than anyone else. Sure guys like Mik D and Lolo have the gang-steeze thing going, but not to the extreme that T does (or did, we still haven't found out what he's actually up to). He looks at rails and style in a really unique way, and I think that's important.
That being said, your campaign to prove that you're better than Heed is stupid - there's a reason he has hype behind him off of an old-ass segment and a flick in Ski Time, and there's a reason that you don't. So keep that in mind next time you post, no one really cares about you or your skiing.
With that beings said - can we get an answer to the question orginally asked? What has Heed been up to? Not as a stan or anything, but simply because the few pieces of media featuring him have been some of my favorites over the last two years or so. Thanks.

surprising you've never heard of my name before.
and what you're failing to grasp here assfinch or whatever your name is, is that YOU FUCKING SUCK. I wasn't inviting you to a team or anyhting that was 4 years ago asshole. mind your own business. dont talk shit about people you dont know, i actually know heed and have ski'd with him. I'm not out to prove im better, but to understand why kids are still on his nuts 4 years after his wicked segment. get over it. and stop saying t heed like he's t hall. he will never command the respect that hall has. and im not failing to grasp that that i define good skiing is keeping up current progression, because thats what good skiing is. ask anybody from freeskier staff to team managers, and they'll tell you what good skiing is. heed doesnot fall into this category because heed does not ski, he slides rails, thats it.

people are still "all over his nuts" because he had a sick segment in wicked and a sick picture in ski time, and after that he just dropped off the map, which is kind of strange seeing as most people either get "old" or injure themselves or something like that. but in his case, nobody had any idea what happened to him, or why he didnt have a big segment in right, or anything like that.
as for trying to bring up an argument that heed is a bad skiier. that is just retarded. nobody is trying to tell you that heed is amazing at skiing pow, or hitting the big jump line at breck. thats a fucking terrible argument. people like heed for his rail style, and understand that he may not be the greatest skiier ever, but he def brought something to skiing. and for his time that segment was something nobody had really ever seen before, a kid who brought so much style to skiing when style wasnt really a factor as much as it is now. people arnt "all over his nuts" because he is the best skiier ever, but becuase they feel like he brought something to skiing, and then just left after he made his mark.

1) you claiming that you're hyped or something isn't really doing much for you, because the fact remains, most of us haven't heard of you unless it's while you're hyping yourself up.
2) I do 'FUCKING SUCK', but Snoforce is still a really gay name.
3) You're on here to 'understand why kids are still on his nuts 4 years after his wicked segment.' That's what my post was explaining.
4) I'm not going to ask the guys at Freeskier, because that magazine is corny as fuck and I could really care less about what some half-assed journalists think about a skier that I like.
5) He slides rails with skis on his feet, which is skiing enough for me.

1.) im not claiming or hyping myself, i was just surprised since you're on here so much that you've never heard of me.
2.) that was back in the 2003-04 season douche bag
3.) people need to stop living in the past and look upto real skiers
4.) freeskier is the best mag for skiing right now unless your an instructor that ritualistically reads ski magazine.
5.) sliding rails is not skiing, yes he may have skis on his feet but anyone can slide rails wooooooooo.

You're not trying to hype the fact that you were on snoforce? Sure coulda fooled me seeing as you brought it up enough times so far.
You dropped your ego? Again, it really shows here.
And you're right - travis would have been a total asshole to me if I wasn't friends with any of the other names you dropped at the end there. Whatever. Maybe people would defend you too if you didn't do things like run your mouth and talk trash on people.
