bored in class, just wondering who the coolest big name pro you've met, or how uncool. Doesn't even have to be skiing.

At momentum this summer Riley Leboe and Margetts did some sort of drunken drug raid on our room... That same night Chug and Schlopy ended up at our door. Drunk of course, they wanted us to come on a hike with them... Skied with bobby b and karl fostvedt at my home mountain for a day. Skied with dane tudor at bachelor for a few runs. Bobby while I am assuming very drunk invited me to come to breck and stay/ski with him. At the PBP premier this year I was talking to josh stack and he convinced me to impersonate Leigh Powis and sign autographs for kids. I ended up convincing two girls that were friends of mine that I was a pro... Rory Bushfield taught me how to backflip off a ropeswing in Whistler... Lots of good stuff

Me, my brother and his girlfriend met Van Valin and Sean Pettit last JOI. Van Valin was trying to get a girl to hang with a rather shy Pettit. The Swedish awkwardness hit in and we basicly walked away. Later we joked about how my brothers gf should have left my brother to hang with Sean.

Lots... they all beat me in comps. 

Most memorable experience was park laps with Jon.  It was 8 years ago when I was living in Mammoth.  I moved there with aspirations of being a pro skier and was instantly intimidated by the amount of talent out there.  I was on the lift with Jon and he was rocking his legs back and forth and couldn't keep still.  I asked him what was up and he told me he was, "nervous about hitting the big jumps."  Keep in mind, this was at (in my opinion) the height of Jon's career in park.  It blew me away and taught me a lesson I'll never forget: pro skiers aren't superheros.  They get scared, they fall, they get stressed out.  It forever changed my perception of pro skiers and also the perception of my own ability.  We got off the lift and Jon did a perfect sw 5 on one of the biggest step downs I've ever hit.  I think I straight aired.

Congratulated Bobby Brown after the big-air at last years xgames and took a picture with Andreas Hatveit once. Bobby Brown was pretty cool I thought, exactly as you'd think he is based on him talking during segments and shit. Andreas was cool too, didn't say much, pretty sure he thought I was a homosexual though, so thats something.
