First of all Yes, that was from the VT OPEN. Second of all Mike Wilson does not ride 164's...he rides 175's and considering he is not the talles kid that isnt even close to skiboarding. And finally third of all Mike Wilson did not injur his back...he had a knee injury but that was a very long time ago. He indeed did decide not to compete for the VT OPEN last minute for his own reasons but it had nothing to do with an injury.
