[Cadenmccullough]

A lot of the tsp crew such as Brock paddock, Finn Anderson etc. It's crazy how much I miss tsp I honestly thought it was the sickest company and I'm a Bozeman kid so that probably helped.

Rumor has it Shea Flynn applied to be head of park crew this past winter at Sunday River and didn't get it, they instead gave it to some dick who was already working for corporate who has no idea about parks.

Brock Paddock, Brian Kish, Chappy G

I miss Brocks skiing so much. So much style, I still see him at Big Sky every now and then.

Is shea not working at MHSSC anymore?

Simon Dumont man, what the fuck happened there. He's not disappeared or anything but like he was a huge skier. and STEPT in general

Follow his Instagram. Dude just cruises around and takes awesome photos. Seems like he's pretty damn happy not beating his body to hell.

Did he enter orbit and waiting for reentry into the atmosphere? He literally sent it to the moon

Blame the sponsors they love to pay comp jocks that don't sell anything

Charlie Owens

Charlie broke his neck a while back and I think he quit urban. He now skis with a gypsy, bunch-esque, style. He's also a very talented filmer/editor.

The Tabarnak Pack

Shea Flynn

Charlie Owens

Cole Drexler

Sucks that these guys weren't getting enough support. I really wonder what Shea and Charlie were getting from their sponsors. Seems like these two got fucked pretty bad, I wonder what exactly happened for Cole though. Line was promoting him pretty well I'd say.

As for the Tabarnak Pack, I guess you can only do it for the love for so long, as these guys were filming with other film companies for a while before that.

I thought Tabarnak Pack had an edit at the end of Level 1's Small World?

Cole's in Australia, I think he's returning for season 8 of ltc, not sure about that though.

Being a park manager for a top level park requires much more then knowing how to ski or board on some rails and jumps. A real park manager or director is more marketing then on hill.

where is chug at nowadays

or have i just been asleep for 7 years

Flying medevac planes in BC.

 

[chubbspeterson]

is not getting paid to ski a good reason to stop skiing?

 

[SteveStepp]

I cant remember who told me this, but it was profound,

"a skiers career is like walking down a path that ends in a cliff, and you never know when that cliff is coming"

Its so true for a multitude of reasons. Sponsors not supporting founding/senior athletes, replacing those athletes with contest guys, injury, loss of interest, degrading ability level, or in the case of orage: corporate shifts

Xavier bertoni is a good example. if you can recall, this guy was straight sweeping halfpipe podiums for like 3-4 years, then just never appeared again...

Died of lung cancer.

anyone know what Trashparty is up to?

They've been sitting on a movie for the longest time and this teaser has been absolutely killing me with anticipation for the last 6 months.
