ColoradoSkiWhy would anyone dislike this lmao
EdudeThe petit comparison is valid. The only thing I would love to see is him skiing with more people his age and them making a little movie themselves, not to do with tgr. Now that would be all time imo
eheathlol ok dude
JLejhe really isnt physically strong enough yet to ski some of the lines hes doing and it bothers me. the way he lands and gets bucked around is kinda scary from a 3rd person.
chubby3True and I totally agree. I'm just saying I got the exact opposite vibe and it's not cool to talk about them negatively due to one incident.
JohnJonszCrowd in boston got all fired up for Kai’s big cliff hit. Say all you want about TGR but the kid is nasty good and has a great focused attitude

eheathKai is the new Pettit, can't wait to see what he does in the next 5-10 years, his clips this year were fucking insane for being a child still.
SendyMcSendyfaceKai is a nice kid, his dad (and his nanny, Durtschi), are dickheads)
RenmuratalongHighly disagree.
RenmuratalongDurtschi more like dirt bag
ColoradoSkihe like 14
StaticCrazy he's only 7!
SofaKingSickthat was last year man, he's 6 now
RenmuratalongDurtschi more like dirt bag
eheathits hilarious you're using an alt account to talk shit on a thread from over a year ago
RenmuratalongSays the guy who reposts videos of twallish on his insta.
CeleryKai vs Walker Shredz slvsh game. Who would win
eheathNobody his age is anywhere near his level of skiing, he's literally in the perfect situation for himself to grow into a top tier professional big mountain skier.
RGromWalker shredz is so much better. His tricks and his style are unmatched, plus this dude is like 12 years old. Kai isn't even in the same league.
bogustIt took me a while to understand this but big mountain freeride is just on another level of difficulty that simply isn't portrayed well on camera. I used to think FWT skiers were not as good as park skiers because it looks like they are just skiing down a kinda steep trail and doing mostly straight airs and 3s. The steepness of those lines is just not translated through a gopro and to do any trick on something steeper than 40° requires skills just not seen in the park.

snowmosexualI heard from some tgr interns that todd jones is an alcoholic and kai is pretty forced into every demanding line.
GromDoes anybody else here feel like Jeramy Jones is a way better guy than Todd. Jeramy is in shape, and seems way more rad and doesn't force his kids to do anything
Jeramy is way more at piece and just lives a better life.
GloryHoleGaryMy buddy runs a bar here in Juneau. TGR comes here almost every winter to film and they asked my buddy to open the bar even thuough it had been closed for the season. My buddy opened up for them and their crew. Todd not only tipped him very nicely, but he also told him to send him an email and he would hook us up with whatever we needed for the season.
fast forward to this fall. My buddy emailed him and wrote a list of things we all wanted, and two weeks later a giant box of merch and gear showed up on our doorstep. Hoodies, beanies, hats, goggles, button ups, so much stuff.
Say what you want about the brand and what they’re doing over there, but those are good people. All of them.
snowmosexualOf course they’re nice to the bar owner Todd’s an alcoholic.
I heard a story about filming one of the mtb movies. Todd got so drunk during the day he fired half the staff then got pissed when they didn’t show up the next day.
ColoradoSkiYa Walker is insane. But I don’t think he could take that to the backcountry with as much style and confidence. And I don’t think Kai can do that in the park. So they’re different and I don’t think it would be fair to compare. Unless you did a backcountry slush and a park one
GloryHoleGarylisten man I’ve shared beers in the parking lot of my local hill with him and his crew on closing day the last few years here. Dudes been nothing but nice man. They’ve flown to my lodge to talk Heli skiing plans and again… nothing but respectful and nice.
if you haven’t personally met the guy or sat down and chatted while drinking a beer I have a hard time taking what you say seriously.
maybe you’re young and haven’t figured it out yet, but he said she said stuff doesn’t really matter. Hold your judgement and opinions on someone until you actually meet them or hang out with them.
do I think some of the things tgr and his company do are corny? Yeah I do. But he’s a good dude. Trying to slander a person or company that’s done more good than bad for the ski industry is pretty wack as well.
