Saw this ad on the side after I got home from the mountain last night and made me think how much he and shane will be missed throughout the course of this year

Bumpin an old CR thread out of worthy respect

CR will be missed he had such a great outlook on life

probably one of the most legendary years in pipe skiing history.

Nowadays that stuff wouldn't even get you into the xgames.

That's not the point.

Yeah, but it was revolutionary back then. CR and Candide gave halfpipe skiing credibilty. They were the best two skiers at the pipe contest that year. CR crashed on his last run, and did not get a medal because of that, but he and Candide were by far the standout skiers of the event.

CR's segment in Focus came out fall of the next year. It was insane. CR was maybe the best all-around skier in the world back then. If he had never been hurt, he still would be today.
