Yooo NS,

I searchbarred it and nothing. So I was wondering what skier has inspired you to go bigger and push yourself harder than you ever imagined? I would have to say that Eric Pollard for me is hands down the driving factor on trying to progress my riding (especially in the pow). LETS HEAR EM!

The first true ski movie (i.e. not warren miller) that I ever bought was Idea. That has inspired me and continues to inspire me in every aspect of my skiing. I also tend to capitalize the word idea all the time, and have to go back and change it upon realizing what I've done.

I am suprised that noone has mentioned Shane McConkey. He was by far my biggest inspiration. Always fun-loving, crazy skier, and amazing person all around. RIP

this whole movie got me addicted to skiing. I never saw skiing as anything other than bombing cruisers and getting the weightless feeling over knuckles. If it wasn't for push i would have quit skiing a while back. It opened my eyes to the opportunities a mountain has to offer. I was like 11 or 12 watching this thing

C.R. Johnson rewatched Seven Sunny Days at the beginning of th year and his segment was inspirational. After almost dying and being paralysed to skiing within a year and working his way back to the top after loosing everything really showed me what was possible when you want it
