I think he's in a new ski movie called Fistfull of Moguls. I think that it's directed by Greg Stump. I can't remember if he's in the movie or if he helped out with it. justpushplay.com once had a trailer for it, so it might still be there.

Glen plake is my hero he is the only reason why the '80's didn't kill skiing. I seen him a couple of times at big comps but I never actually introduced myself. He's one of those guys that you wait for them to talk to you because they are such a big name if you know what I mean.

I've met him a bunch of times at Loon Mountain in NH. He's a wicked cool guy. I skied with him for like a whole day, learning how to do polish donuts from him. Then I saw him again at a local bar when he went to see a friend of mine play the guitar and sing. His wife is wicked hot too. Shes a 30 year old look a like of Britney Spears.

Sirjibsalot, I would like to see you bust out a 360 mute over a gap on 210cm womens DH racing skis when your that old. He has just done so much for the sport it's amazing.

I just think it's stupid he wishes snowboarding never happened. Warren Miller would be the only one making movies, skis would be straight, we'd all be in one pieces, skiing would still be the joke it was for most of the 80s.

gotta go with that, skiing is way more progressed now with shaped skis and all, i mean shit, plake's an awesome skiier, i don't deny that, but as with people in all sports and arts, you need to adapt to change, 'cuz really, how much new stuff is there left to be done on straight 210s? on another note, i usually see plake a couple times each season at kirkwood, and i've never seen 'im with the hawk up, he probably only does that for publicity shit and vids.

freestyle skiing was cool in the 70s, it just became gay in the 80s with all the regulation shit. In the 80s to compete in events u had to comply with riged rules that were gay. get a movie from the 70s like daydreams or watch the begining of 'the spy who loved me' and ull see that people were doing switch back 180s in 77 and whatever they wanted to really. yeah and watch daydreams or the begining of uprising and ull see that guys back then did fronts off 60 footers.
