The CR Johnson Interview

I'm thinking that CR respects the ability of kids in the park but doesn't like the fact they think they're "g" or "thug" when skiing is one of the whitest, most expensive sports and real kids in the ghetto have little to no ability to ever strap on skis or get to a mountain to enjoy it

^^ did you really just compare skiing to a team sport, and basketball nonetheless??? skiing is a lifestlye not a fucking sport! its popular because so many people can enjoy it, not because you can watch it on tv amd see your favorite pro

those skis are massive

Wicked interview. Yay CR!

Yay for winter coming!

BUT

^^ I'm sorry but as much as skiing is a lifestyle, it is also a sport. There is no way you can say it isn't. It can also be a team sport. I'm pretty sure basketball is easier for the general public to get into than skiing is. I see the point you're trying to make, you just have to be more clear (and say things that are true..)

Anyway.

CR is pimp.

his comment about the actions of the park leaders is a bit confusing. CR was always a fan of the ballin jersey and hiphop image growing up. Nothin wrong with that, its motivating to listen to that music and look the part...maybe there are actions we dont know about that CR refers too...

i totally understand CRs comment about experience meaning shit in the sport but i think that kkeeps it fresh right now, i mean guys like Wiley Miller and Will Wesson are just killin it, but really are they doing anything that Tanner Rainville or Frank Raymond didnt do yrs ago?...comparing us to snowboarding we dont praise our true leaders enough; Seth, Shane, Mike, JP, JF, Vinny, Phil, Tanner, CR, Mikeal, Candide, Sage, Dash, Nobis, Jon, Simon Thank you guys.

CR is the fucking man... nuff said

CR has straight been my Idol from the day I saw him shred in '00 - killing it in every aspect of the sport and pushing for innovation at every corner. I expect to see more form the kid in the next couple of years which should once again blow everyone's minds.

Remember, rightside off axis 3's off natural terrain - he started that shit!

good luck healing man.

WHAT A SICK REPOST NEWSCHOOLERS! I FEEL SO COOL TELLING NEWSCHOOLERS THEMSELVES THAT THIS IS INDEED A REPOST!!!

that's oldschool and still shedding it.

its inspiring that cr can come back after so much, just like seth... these guys dont have to boost 2o footers in the pipe anymore, they are only looking for more ways to recreate their stoke! more power to him and any of the "older" generation that helped making it possible for all the younger pros to push it as well. ask any of those guys and they would say the same... great to have you back buddy!

CR, you said it all, props for knockin on the park rats immage. Parks fun and all but these guys now a dayz are just turning into little thugs thinking their all bad ass. Way to own it for the expirienced riders out there loving the sport and not the new immage.

dude cr is one of the coolest people i have ever met

always remembered, never forgotten. MSP high society til the end of time, definitely showing my kids in 10 years, ya know? u set an example for getting back out there after a serious injury, i now hope to do the same after my own.

seth morrison and shane McConk need never be forgotten either. govt should susidize their careers if need be, we need them in the game always regardless of industry focus on slopestyle. they're the reason we're at the point we are. infinite props to them, seth morrison's "focused" segment...

Sikk CR. A really mature and experienced look at the sport. Inteligent guy.

Those pro models look like a follow up for EHPs, is that right? 09's EHPs kill it at the BC.

CRs the man

two plane tickets to alaska to go cat skiing. thats skiing right there. well put c.r.

Best interview ive read so far.

RIP
