We knew he was coming, but now I feel like no one else even has a chance. The only comparison I can think of is when Henrik was coming in and dropped the nose butter triple when everyone else was pretty much still doing double corks. We have entered a new age of park skiing. He seems super happy to be skiing and always has fun doing his thing, keep doing that Matej stuff!
No fan, i don’t even watch comps because i forget and i don’t have streaming services to watch them. But his insta is quite dope, but on comps it’s like he is ragettli’s brother. Spin to win dick flip with a blunt just to get more points.
kinda off topic, not saying you do this by any means just provokes a running thought I always have.
but I know way too many people who are so god damn unappreciative of mommy’s and daddy’s money that they beg to go out to Utah or Colorado or wherever for school just to blow their academics off and become a skier burnout at the age of 19.
sure I’d love to be privileged enough to have mommy and daddy pay 40+ thousand a year just so I can rip Brighton and pc but that’s not the case, I have to pay for my own college and that’s not a financially smart decision for me to do. My point is I couldn’t fathom being that “blessed” and blowing off hundreds of thousands of dollars of my parents or grandparents or whatever and not giving a fuck about school and picking some bullshit major that will be tough to find a job in.
lack of respect if you ask me. Unappreciative shithead kids suck. Sorry random rant over.
Jemsnaw i’m just sayin slc is a skiing mecca so much so that it’s probably impossible to stand out as a skier unless you’re fucked
depends on what stand out means. People talk and can see who's who from the chair, but the difference between good and great has always been the great ones make it all look easy.

I think what you gotta realize is that so many people just go with the flow in life and a lot of those privileged kids are just expected to go to college because it's "the right thing to do" or whatever. They don't really want to go to college in the first place but everyone in their family expects them to and if they're gonna pay for it it's like hey why not. Honestly I think a lot of the parents are equally to blame for thinking that their kid MUST go to college or they will never get a "good job" - whatever the fuck that is lol
I don’t know dude irl but I get the vibe he’s actually intelligent and self aware. I think he’s doing aight and is more than aware of his situation. Or at least as much as anyone could be…

Who me or Keagan? Cause I agree with you if it’s keagan.

i definitely agree but then again the kids should actually do something with their free education. i dont care if your parents ship you out west for college if you major in engineering and actually try but it really pisses me off when their parents pay for their whole education at a nice school just for them to take gender studies and ski 24/7. While skiing can definitely be a lifestyle, it can only be a career for best ones. Good for them that they are blessed with rich parents, but use their money for something worth while

Probs one of the illest dudes on the come up, but mans can only spin to the left. I mean I can't really complain cuz I also can only spin to the left, but it's kind of a tactical disadvantage. Like I don't think I've ever seen him spin to the right in any clip ever. He's already insane, but if he learns to spin to the right he'll easily be better than Harlaut ever was, especially cuz he's only like 17.
faber-castelli definitely agree but then again the kids should actually do something with their free education. i dont care if your parents ship you out west for college if you major in engineering and actually try but it really pisses me off when their parents pay for their whole education at a nice school just for them to take gender studies and ski 24/7.

you're worrying too much about other people man, if rich kids want to fuck off and ski and major in philosophy how does that hurt you? I understand they might be ungrateful and privileged and that's annoying but the world is filled with annoying and bogus people lol
Definitely not the next henrik, matej does fucked tricks but henny did them with his own flavor, maybe he will win every medal ever but I think it’s weird to compare a young gun to the Michael Jordan of free skiing this early in his career lol

I feel like watching Henrik in SuperUnknown and Turbo at the same age as Matej, it was clear that he would be something else.
Do you follow him on insta? That dude is extremely quirky and it spills over into his skiing. I think he probably has the top 3 most unique all around styles out of any skier I follow on social media. I think the conversation is more about consistency and the desire to compete for decades as opposed to getting washed eventually.
vibe.crudoFair point, he’s got a long way to go but you are right, he is showing really promising signs of being a legend of the sport no doubt about that

he definitely as unique as you're making him out to be but for a comp jock his skiing is extremely tasty to watch

Top 3?????? Maybe you don't follow a lot of people but that's a stretch and a half lol
Like yeah, his cracked out energetic creative comp jock helicopter steeze is sick, but he's not the only sick comp rider with that style. There's quite a few people who ski like that, matej is just young and better than them.
Everyone I know who has moved to slc from Tahoe is pretty fucking dirty at skiing
