So i just watched this guys segment in Sanity, with was an underground midwest movie made 5 years ago and he was doing 270s on, switch ups, blindside switch ups, switch ups on urban rails, 1080s in the pipe, all before it was cool. he is the real O.G. of this shit. suck my dick.
 
yeah saw kaw films killed it, sanity is such a good movie for the time and place, not to mention pete is sick.
 
Ummm deja vu? As I said the first time... Blindsides and some of those other things may be, but as far as 270s and normal Switchups, I know at least one person that could compete for those titles as well.
 
I remember that kid at High North back in '99 or '00. He was attempting double backs on the quarter pipe, doing 1 1/2 rotations landing flat on his back and going back up for it again and again. What a crazy man.
 
to bad that kid didn't show up this weekend, would have been fun to see him and eric in the same night. and the serbian made an appearance, CP roots at it's finest.
 
another progressive feat done by proos was his road gaps to flat rails and road gap japan to flat rail.
 
i wanna be a full time ski bum 2 not have to worry about anything except how deep the pow is or how nic ethe jumps are that day.... must be nice
 
skiing started in the midwest, it fits to have modern progression here too. both of these pieces of info are little known.
 
yeah, a ridiculous amount a head of his time. he also did 450 on, blindside 270 out at spring board 4 years ago.
 
he is the true godfather...none of you fuckers know about him because your so busy with your noses held high in the air and don't pay attention to the midwest..
 
proos killed the rails. come on, switch up on urban 5 years ago, double S, 270 on, switch ups both ways.
 
im pretty sure hes from Pinckney, MI. My mom was teaching a class a couple years ago and mentioned skiing and a girl in her class said that her brother moved out west to ski. She said she thought he was pretty good. And her last name was Proos.
