not to thread jack (to answer your question, i don't think such a thing exists), but you know what would be awesome? is if we could put together a collaborative effort to get all the old freeze and freeskier issues available online. like a history of freeskiing wiki almost, where if there's an issue missing, anyone can scan it and upload it. over time, you weed out the shitty quality ones and eventually you have an easily accessible library of freeskiing media. i know i'm not the only one who's saved all my old issues of freeze. i bet if someone could build the platform for it, we could have it filled in in no time

You know what would be cool?

If people actually stayed on topic, and helped the OP

OP I would scan older threads, check TGR, and maybe look at company websites, and look at the freeskier website
