Flow means that you are getting free stuff and thats it, it is the difference between being a pro skier and being a sponsored skier, Take example a) most guys on the K2 am team get flow and the occasional photo bonus, Stefan thomas was getting this and blew up and k2 didnt payhim shit so he told them to jump and now he rides for nordica, Alot of big moountain guys only get flow too. Ski companies are stingy they dont pay people what they deserve.
