Karl Fostvedt. Crazy Karl. 'Nuff Said.



Ask this man all the questions you want. What was the sketchiest experience in Detroit? What is it like to win (3) awards with your first promodel ski? Who makes the best skis in the world (though we already know the answer to that question)?

More importantly, why can't you 360 venom grab??!!!
https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/742945/S-K-A-T-E-on-snow---Vincent-Gagnier-VS-Karl-Fostvedt---semi-finals-Vars-Tournament

He will be live to answer this upcoming week. Ask away!

I know this is going wayy back, but when you were 13, i think, you got onto the Next Snow search by Sports Illustrated. I remember you perfectly because you and Chris Logan made it the same year when i was maybe 8...

Do you believe that team/competition was a good idea, and do you believe it shaped you into the skier you are today?

You've tried the 1170 onto a rail, do you think you'll every stick it, and if so, do you think you'll ever surpass that rotation?

How did you go about hitting urban in Detroit more specifically how did you choose Detroit, how did you find the spots to hit and how did you build and how long did it take you to build some of the bigger features?

Of all the modernist artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, which one is you favorite? Polluck? Picasso? Maybe even Tanguy?

Your skiing style seems to be somewhat animalistic, some might even say beastly, how would you describe the way you ride and the motivations you have for skiing so hard and so charging all the time?

Most skiers progress usually pretty in a pretty constant rate. Was there ever a time when you went from progressing from the usual rate, to getting very ballsy and full of progression?
