Welcome to the live chat with Sammy Carlson, who's here in Mammoth as part of the Jib Academy 2008 Finale. The Salomon team is here along with a ton of groms that just got finished slaying it on a private jump this morning.

The boys are still out shredding but will be here soon, so start the questions flowing and we'll get Sammy in here to answer them along with maybe some of of the other Salomon riders in attendance.

Sammy! Congrats on the JOSS win!

It would be really nice if you came and visited upstate NY to shred.

Any new double flips?

Hey all!

What advice do you guys have for someone breaking into the park scene?

I've been skiing for a few years but mainly just all over the mountain, backcountry, and the bumps, and I want to take the park skills to these areas.

Thanks!

ha good question.
The ski Industry is getting crazier and crazier as the sport expands and more money is put into it. But i think our sport is deffinetly expanding in a major way but to me it just seems like alot of people are forgetting about our roots, and the people who started this sport and why.
but just kinda an example how the industry works a bit.
for movies its getting crazy now i been filming with MSP for three years now but i just got hooked up with Rockstar which im super stoked on but, now i cant film with msp any more because red bull is a huge sponsor of msp films so any rock star logos they get of me they cant use the shots so it wont work. which sucks nothing against msp but thats just the way it goes. so thats kinda a bummer.
but on a good note i been filming a ton with pbp for there new movie reasons and im super stoked for that to come ot and im working with TGR for there new movie and will have shots with Tanner in MASSIVE and you knw whats going down with that!
