Ian Compton is still beast

Pulled up to bush the other day for some laps and saw the legend himself cruising majestically down Riemer. Seen him there a few other times in previous years but always stoked to see him gettin some hits in amongst a crew of legends (Dayton, Shane mcfalls, bean man, bushman). First day out and rips a sw tails onto the tallest fucking rail in the park (catfish); absolutely laced, no hesitation. Homie was trying to backslide the 50' monster of a quad kink, a criminal trick for that rail, and was getting obscenely close. Lacing double swap variations every hit on the tube and just flowing through the park with the same Compton style that we all remember from the early TC days and the Weak. Shit reminded me of the 2017 TAFT at killington where he laced front to front on this massive DFDFDF first fucking hit of the sesh. Mans still got it and it fires me up to see him skiing. All those previously mentioned homies, who I grew up watching, are seldom seen at bush now and its so fire to watch them hot lapping at my local.

unrelated Sugarbush question but when does that main park on Mt Ellen usually close for the season? Would visiting first week of April be too late? I somewhat remember seeing it being pretty early in years past but don't remember the dates

I remember seeing Ian lap Nitro my first time ever at Carinthia. I was 12 years old and I'd never seen someone ski with such speed and fluidity through a terrain park. I can visualize his double backswap on the old battleship box to this day.

I feel like he’s had a really overlooked influence on park skiing today. Always had the sickest and most memorable skiing whenever he was in tc episodes

Even though everyone of these east coasters are terrible cancerous people...

lets all pray for shane mcfalls son, even if he overcomes physical ailments, his father is one of the worst people i have ever had the pleasure of meeting, and that says alot,

@williams remember when @Nordica was getting in to freestyle skiing with travis heed and richie paradise? they lost the prototype skis off the ski rack in new hampshire in the middle of a blizzard...? @williams you had the chance to "keep it freestyle", instead you screwed the entire sport , and east coast kids chance of freestyle , directly into the gutter. your new intelligent group was retarded at best,
are all of you living in your moms basement?

Freestyle would have been nothing without Jon Olsson pioneering the first doubles. Richie Paradise just had those switch 10 mutes.

Also, Raponda was old news when heed hit it. and it was older news when compton hit it, they should have got original and went to rail gardens.
