Why was Chug never able to make it as a big name skier?
Chug was god, and still is. He had the style, class, almost made the Canadian freestyle Olympic team, and suddenly he just fucked off and vanished? What the fuck happened to his skiing career? Last time i heard he was fucking flying planes or something
He had some trouble with injuries

I feel like this is the case for 90% of the pro's that just vanish.
L_BI feel like this is the case for 90% of the pro's that just vanish.
But in all reality, Chug's career was pretty impressive in the greater scheme of things
He didnt get signed with a heavy pan company..
he was a pretty big name in terms of skiing vlogs. that's where his success really is

he placed in the king of style years back
Injuries, getting old, when you start getting up to the 26-27 year age ambition to keep pushing becomes harder and harder to find.
First dub 12 in the backcountry I believe

truee. though i mostly just knew/ admired him for the webisodes
He flies commercial airlines now which is cool as fuck. Imagine boarding a plane and hearing "Hello, this is your Captain Ian Cosco..." That would be crazy.

Exactly. I think most people after 10ish years of pushing skiing just want to do other things. I'm sure there are many skiers that could physically push it well into their 30's before calling it a career. But there is a whole other world out there and chances are skiing isn't getting them rich.

Wasn't he on atomic?

I imagine being a 'pro' skier isn't for everyone. Amazingly enough there is more to life than skiing. Some people don't want to restrict their lives to revolving around skiing.
Honestly, being a professional skier doesn't sound that amazing. I really don't envy much about professional athletes of any sport.

Came to post this. I think he won a Powder award for it that year. A huge switch landed dub in the backcountry was mind blowing in 2008, and still a really sick shot.

i bought it on getboards a couple years back for like 2 bucks. i know thats no help but im sure theirs plenty of dvd's floating around for cheap.
KreechWasn't he on atomic?
Atomic, Monster, Dragon, Skullcandy, and Jiberish
i heard chug had a bit of a alcohol problem and couldn't handle his liquor and was a sloppy drunk, so a lot of sponsors dropped him
He was a better Pilot.

However being a pro athlete in a major sport like football or basketball would be terrible with everything you do and say being constantly analyzed, but in a small niche sport like freestyle skiing, that wouldn't be a problem.

Constantly having to try to one up people and risking your health for barely no money would suck, at least in my opinion.

Yeah exactly, I think they kind of start thinking about their future after skiing, Chug comes from a fairly well off family so I bet he's got a bit of a plan for the future.

That was such a great movie!!!
I remember back in the early 2000's seeing Chug and Mike Riddle at our local ski hill early in the season, damn they were good, they'd be throwing cab 7's 9's cork 9's off of a shitty 10 foot early park jump.
DingoSeanHe was a better Pilot.

he still is a pilot.
mirozHe's so grown up *tear*

All I can think of when I see that photo is him chugging a bottle of jack naked.
What are you talking about? He thinned out his hair and became Tom Wallisch
