Pro's who "fell-out"

he always looked like he was having a great time. i would love to meet him at a bar, buy him a beer, and talk about butt rock.
 
Yea man vanular is going to kill it next year! I heard him claiming kangaroo flips onto rails for next season........................... no joke................ he claimed it........... hard..
 
Exactly! Does anyone remember when Crichton was doing 10's at the end of his pipe run like 2 years before anyone else? His run at the X-Games was hands down first place. The stupid ass judges docked him because his ski popped off when he landed his 10. He still rode that shit out like a baller. I think he took like 4th, but that was most def the 1st place run.

When i have kids and i get them to start skiing i'm going to show them DC's parts in every movie because they are that timeless.
 
lol i was waiting for mcmurrays name to come up. he was a fucking nut even before wilson was.
 
whoever said peeps is under a rock was right, holy shit.

pep? thats gotta be a joke.

becker? got tired of riding snowmobiles with ski boots, snowboarded too much, he will be around some more, don't worry.

boyd? for sure knee problems. whoever said landshark, thanks for the reminder, haha so funny, bummer, guy killed it.

raps? more knee problems.

brad holmes? who cares.

skogen sprang? hes still around. had a sick part in TGR the last few years. probably out sledding.

those are the ones I can awnser for now. I still don't know what happened too:

zach d

hugo harrison

micah black- nothin in TGR recently, not even awesome commentary

mcgovern

chris menici

and theres probably more. mostly due to injury I'm sure.

 
There was a good thread about McMurray the other month.

He is now a rapper with Loose Cannon Playaz, under the name of McFee. Look it up, it will make laugh.
 
most def the year of rfa

double stinkbug or whatever that was called...haha

and randomly, one of the coolest shots I ever saw was in the superpark 5 video. It was like a really fast cork 7 or something.

I think people are forgetting about guys like clint fiala and josh leubek(although I know he does a lot of judging).
 
our sport is dangerous sometimes you get hurt and sometimes you dnt get back to 100% and t'shard to get back on the snow and slay when you are not at 100%.

Pro skiers are marketing tools and when they are notdoing the job anymore their sponsors dropthem andthey have to startfinding something else to live on.

Kids dont seem to understand that being a pro skier is a job and if you want to live from it, you have to be on top of the game and make sure the sponsors are happy while making sure the kids are still stoked on you.

Most pros will tell you tyhey enhjoyed skiing more before they were pro skiers adn believe me, they are not lying.

Being a pro skier is not like working in a shop, you dont have to be there at 9am and sell stuff untill 5 pm but it have some cons too. You dont get much money out of it and you could loose it all from one little crash on the smalest feature.

This is one of the reasonwhypro skiers will tell youto ski for fun instead of trying to make a living out of it. Nobody is invincible and even if making a living off skiihg seems like the most awesome ting in the worlds it have it disadvantages too. There are a lot more pros that "fell out" then you think, you guyz just dont have a clue.

Just look at the top 10from the 2000 x-gamesand us open and see wih namesyou remember.
 
some of the phils were in skimatic right? they are still around. reppin some ski shops and stuff.

philou starting filming and stuff with MSP. not sure if he is still with them. I think he has been judging events too.
 
He got injured just before the X-Games and was gone for a bit, missed the US Open and so on... But he's back and he has been filming with MSP and problably Field of course and will surely get at least one full segment. I wouldn't be suprised if he's in Stryn or Folgefonna in Norway right now to get the last shots of the season. I'll check for you when I go there in a few weeks! Haha
 
No, he's like the dark horse of half pipe skiing. Throwing the sickest doubles... Petey O's whiskey flip has nothing on JP's double... it looks like a double flatspin

 
She's still going strong... she's in Whistler I think, I've seen her around

The Icer Air setup was real sketchy... unblocked wood on the side? accident waiting to happen
 
Dave Crichton still ski's but not pro. he was sick.

and i am soo claiming that he lives like 3 streets away from me, no lie
