Yes! Eric Olson kills it and has been killing it for years, the last three shots on the one jump in Work it Out are so good, think its like dirty 10, sick 9 and filthy 5 tap thing

And then theres one in the bonus vid where he hits the stepup but loses one ski in the takeoff, but still rotates lands his cork 3 and rides off with one ski.

Eric is the interpretation of true skiing. He shred's day in and day out and does not whine and bitch like most other pro's do, and for that i have a immense amount of respect for that

I hear he's good at skiing and stuff.

But in all seriousness he's easily one of my favorite skiers, love watching his jumps.

Gotta bump this shit cuz I just realized this is the same Eric I know from my home "mountain" like 10 years ago. Even back then this dude was so far ahead of everyone else I knew people would stop what they were doing to watch him. If you guys understood where he came from you would really appreciate him on a whole new level. He comes from Lyons, NY which is the biggest shithole on earth, and his home "mountain" is brantling. How anyone could get as good as he is coming from brantling is amazing. Here's a link: http://www.brantling.com/index.php
It's a chill spot and it's where I grew up skiing but you cant do much with under 250 vertical feet.

Erik is the best gypsy ever, and Ethan's right, i've never seen him miss a tail grab before. My favorite Erik quote is "If you ain't grabbin' blunt you ain't grabbin." You have to say it in his voice though

"Why limit yourself to 140 underfoot? That's why I'm unavailing my newest ski the yacht with a staggering 200 underfoot." But on a serious note Eric fucking shreds.
