I am all for Ahmet riding in the FWT, maybe he'll get a wildcard but if he doesn't he should just do some comps because a lot of athletes bust their asses to make it on through the FWQ, feels unfair to them
edit: are you trying to get him to do comps or hoping the fwt will throw him on if this gets enough signatures?

I think its mainly a joke but I got in contact with Ahmet talked with him about it and said it might be a goal of his in the future.

Why Ahmet?

Does anyone have any big mountain footage of him? I can only find his Partly Cloudy segment which does not have I don't mean jibbing the backcountry, or backcountry kickers, I mean true big mountain lines. There are lots of people I would love to see, but I don't know why Ahmet would be a candidate to get a wild card for the most prestigious big mountain competitions in the world. Guys like Candide and Tanner had tons of big mountain segments before they got their shots. I really don't know why Ahmet is a natural choice for this, I would much rather see someone like Pep Fujas, or any number of other people. Sean Petit? Mark Abma? Hoji? Sage? There are lots of people who would be much better choices.

Buddy your over thinking this is a joke. It would be hilarious to see a man without poles in FWT.

Correct I'm sure. It would be fun to see someone without poles on the Bec.

the comp is also bullshit without Alaska imo. For big mountain skiing that place is comparable to what Hawaii is to surfing.
