What up Newschoolers.

We got another instalment of Ask Me Anything with one of Skiing's most talented athletes - Alex Hall. This man accomplishes more in one year than most pros do over a couple seasons. You can tell he's got a passion for this sport and if ever you got the chance to meet him you'd know he is one of the most humble skiers in the game. Alex also cleaned up last year at the Newschoolers awards and took home Best Male Skier of the Year.

@AlexHall will be tuning in at the end of the week to answer some of your questions.

Let's hear em!

That backflip disaster in the collective was one of the nastiest tricks I've seen. You lace it first try?

Do you stretch a lot, or are you just naturally super flexible?

Is there a particular trick (or tricks) that you're personally most proud of?

You've been killing it on the podium with that sick new grab and it's insane. What gave you the idea to try it and how long did it take to perfect? Big fan man, keep crushing!

Not a question, but the first ski movie I ever saw was This Is Home. In the last segment (verbier) you did a 540 nb 360 (40:20 in the vid). When I saw this three years ago I wasn't that into skiing, but when I saw this trick it made me think "that was cool as shit" and sparked my interest in freestyle.
So basically, thank you for introducing me to freestyle skiing. You are the goat and one of my role models.

What's it like being in all the big events like Xgames and World Cup comps?

Also, what have your biggest goals been in skiing that you have completed?

P.S, your Steel City Showdown runs were insane

Were you always super tall or did you just have a massive growth spurt later on. Also do you skate and how does it influence your skiing and style.
