Years ago I learned mistys on a tramp and felt they were a really natural trick with the right set. So I decided to try one on skis. The first one I did I set just as I did on a trampoline, had no idea what was going on in the air and landed right on my feet. And they kept going just like...

Hey, you're not as dumb as you seem. We share the same sentiments! It's tough to be in our position, eh? Politics, friendships, sponsors... Keeping everyone happy sometimes works against the end product, and unfortunately few know what goes on behind the scenes.

Wow, you sound like a really fun person to be around. Do you ever even go skiing? Or does your one and only friend try to get you to go and you say, "Why bother? It's just going to suck."

McConkey's already a step (or five) ahead of you on that one. No MSP involvement, but expect a grand opening (of a canopy) anyway.

Earlier I was trying to say that MSP was poking a little fun at being epic.

That was sick, but how can you measure from the ground? Moto does the same thing with step up. The don't measure from the lip, which is ridiculous. Just build a bigger takeoff ramp and add the feet on? Doesn't make any sense. The moment I saw that I thought if that's 59', I've stomped 110'...

I'm guessing you didn't watch the Claim trailer past the first 10 seconds. Otherwise you'd recognize that MSP felt the same way.

It's funny hearing worries about going downhill after 25. You're still a puppy with a lot of good years left if you take care of yourself. As many have said, it's more about keeping the mental drive. Some lose it, some don't. Kelly Slater is at the very top of his game right now at age 36...

Quality stuff. Well done, definitely teased. Makes me eager to see if some of that ridiculousness was stomped. Production-wise an A.

Sick, sick stuff there. I'm thinking Dana might be skiing for Tanner's movie in those shots, though. Not 100% sure, but it's a fairly educated guess.

Yep, maybe the best thread I've ever seen on here. Nice to see a little creativity flourish. Bushfield is going to be seriously disturbed if he sees Cibbles creation ^^.

That would be nice if that's the way it worked, but unfortunately, the majority of sales go through distribution companies, and the film company might make $3-$8 per unit. So, obviously the revenue goes way down, which is why sponsorships are so important to cover costs up front. No snowsport...

I'll give Simon all the props in the world for that. Even though the 1/4 was huge, I looked down the thing from the deck, and there really was only about 1 1/2' of play between decking, finding the sweetspot, and crushing yourself in the flats (which happened to him early on). The top 8'+ was...

"filminnspilling i alpene med Thierry Donard og Nuit de la Glisse at den norske frikjøringsveteranen Fred Roar Syversen (42) misset sin planlagte kjørelinje. I en fart" I don't pretend to know Swedish, but I think it's saying something like this: "While filming in the mountains with Thierry...

So, I just read the rest of the thread, and it looks like ^ I didn't add a whole lot new.  All I know is that there might just be 500 kids who can throw 1s and 5s as steezy, with as much flow as Mik D NOW, but most of you can't even recognize or conceive that reality because you're so in love...

I agree.  Had the same shots been of Simon and Tanner or someone like that, guys here would have gone off on them for 10 pages about how ugly some of those tricks were, and yet people here are just so quick to drop to their knees for Mik D.  On top of that, every trick he did in that vid is...

Sick Jon.  Pulling off that session solo is even more impressive.  Way to make it happen, flawlessly (from what we could see).

Wow, you live in a tiny, tiny ski world bubble if you think Mik D is among the top 25 people to change the ski world in the past decade.  He's probably influenced kids more how to dress than anything else, and I'm not so sure that's changing the ski world.  He had skills, no doubt.  And he's...

I used to be a little obsessive and got 102 days straight one year, only to break the string because we drove from Summit Co., CO to Tahoe one day.  I considered a ski day to be a minimum of 2 hours out.  Now 14 days in a row is a pretty good streak.

God, you haters are unbelievable.  He didn't grab!  He was pencilled!  He's such a bitch for his lame-ass style!  Simon sucks! What are these guys supposed to do?  Spend tens of thousands of dollars to build their own booters so they can practice up in private so when you finally see it...
