Parker White - Quarantime AMA

blackops98What size and where do you mount your black ops 98??

I ride the 182 I believe. And I mount all my Blackops in the same place. 1cm back from true center. I tried the 192 if your like above 6ft and over 200 lbs I think that’s the ski for you. For me that 182 is perf.

Parker White right on man...hands down raddest skier in the business. Thank you!

how r u so fucking good

Best beer before sending yourself?

Titus69Best beer before sending yourself?

I personally stick to the post send beers myself. But if you must then I suggest something cheap and hydrating, Naturdays are pretty slick, Coors Lights go down easy maybe even some Utah 3.2 if you can get your hands on it. But ya didn’t hear it from me.

scratchskier321how r u so fucking good

I practiced a lot...

Agreed w/ the above this is the best AMA for sure.

Will we ever see the quad kosack after the elusive triple kosack in the partly cloudy bonus features?

Also have u ever considered trying to be a wildcard for one of the freeride world tour stops/would you say yes if they asked? Those comps could use a mullet for sure

Thanks!

P-WhiteOne time I cut Mike King's hair into bangs outside of Finley's bar in Nelson at like 2 in the morning. His hair is so curly tho it like bounced up way higher than I intended for it too and looked seriously jacked hahaha. That's one of my fav.

Finley's bouncers probably eyeing you up the whole time

I would need a big enough jump for the quad. Maybe next year in Mammoth? No promises tho...

I’ve thought about the Freeride World Tour for sure. I’ve done some similar competitions with all of those guys like the skiers cup in Andorra and Redbull Linecatchers back in the day. Honestly tho 1) I’m not that big of a fan of skiing in contests in general, I like moving at my own pace. And 2) it just looks kind of gnarly ha. Those guys send such huge shit in, a lot of the time, really sub par conditions. I have a lot of respect for those skiers but don’t know if it’s really my style. So never say never I guess but as long as I can film I think I’ll just do that.

I think Duncan Adams should compete in those though I bet he’d win.

On a Finley's note.. Favourite karaoke song?

Thanks for the awesome response. I totally agree Duncan Adams would be so sick to watch in those.

Me, Weezer- Undone the sweater song

Mike King does the Rawhide theme song.

I'm quoting you because I feel like this is over but I want to reminisce on a part of my childhood.

In Stept's Eighty Six, the comp seg (the song bangs so hard btw) what was that comp at Mammoth where you threw a switch 9 blunt over a channel gap to win it and said "I'mma get mugged in the parking lot" to the camera showing your racks that you won? That comp looked so sick. Also how much money did you win? You looked so fucking stoked in that seg coming up on some money bet it was a good night. Whats the deal with that comp why was it a winning team of you and Chas Guldemond so fucking random lol.

Haha damn!! Deep cut, I honestly had almost forgot all about this myself. I forget the name of that contest but basically it was a big air contest but you were on a two person team (1 skier 1 boarder) they chose teams by having all of the riders to a big party where you threw darts at a board covered in Balloons. Behind the balloons were names (That you couldn’t see) so whatever balloon you popped that was our partner. Lucky for me I randomly got paired up with Chas Guldemond who is a really fuckin good contest rider and also a super nice guy.

Even luckier for me I had been approved budget by Monster Energy to host my own event that year. Mammoth told me if I gave them the money from Monster they would put it towards the cash purse for the big air and I could have a session on the jump with my friends after the event was done.

So I did. Chas and I ended up winning the whole event and I took home the best style category as well which was an extra couple grand. So I basically doubled the cash purse of the contest I was competing in with some random Monster Budget and then won all of the money. I walked away with like 10k cash that night and bought my first motorcycle the next day. The edit for the session we had on the jump after was called the “Parker White Invitational” I think there’s an edit of it somewhere. But yeah that was a damn good night.

Dude fuck yes, I was going to ask this same exact question, but figured it was way too specific hahah. Love that segment too and the entire soundtrack in The 86 is soo dope. Braids fit perfectly with the vibe.

P-WhiteDude! We had planned to go back to Mammoth this spring to film for "Nothing" but it was canceled for obvious reasons. The park crew was going to build us a special feature and we were going to have some really special guests. Hopefully next year, mammoth spring park is one of my absolute favorite places to ski. Now get back to your schoolwork!

damn thats def a bummer but obviously understandable given the circumstances, still incredibly hyped to see Nothing this fall!

that schoolwork is wayyyy in the past haha, I meant when those edits were fresh and junction 133's Vimeo was one of the hottest things in skiing. I'd sit in 8th grade watching everything on NS including Montage South Park sendoff, Sean Logans early edits (that seem to be removed from Vimeo?), even the wooden double kink, absolute classics. Growing up with Loon as my comparison I just couldn't comprehend how mammoth had jumps that big open to the public, it just seemed insane

also separate note: thank you so much for taking the time for this mullet pic in BTV last fall, I need a #cutsbycoty to trim mine up proper

Aside from Old Mill, what is your favourite beer?
