After seeing him for a second in Like A Lion. I would like to learn about him more there isnt much i could find on goggle and youtube. If anyone could fill me in on him or has any interview or documentarys that would be sick, thank. I already saw the five mintute video from Bizzard of Ahhs.
 
Yeah I got appointed to council in October and I ran last April election and was beat out by the babylon candidates by five votes 'cause they couldn't fathom the idea of having a rasta man at their fancy dinner parties.

I would hope Telluride to look cool and funky and to keep a little bit of sense of some of our um uniqueness here that we have 'cause we're a mining town that was founded by hardcore miners. We're not a posh place for people to come and buy fur coats and dilly dally in fancy restaurants. This is a skier's mountain and a skier's town you know and that's what we're all about. My vision of Telluride in the future would be a funky unique place where dirtbags like myself can live in Inety with Jah Iration, seen?

I'm trying to prevent Telluride from becoming this world-class, snooty, ritzy place where only the rich and the affluent can live, you know? It's important for people like me to be here, 'cause this is what Telluride's all about. Funky culture, you know? And when I'n'I leave and all my brethren leave there'll be no funky culture left. You'll go to the Last Dollar Saloon and you'll see a buncha rich dweebs lookin' around at each other goin' "Where is everybody? I thought this place was cool and funky". 'Cause we're all gone and when we're all gone it's just gonna be another sellout ski area, i.e. Vail, Sun Valley, St. Mortiz and those other world-class things. That's what I'm trying to help Telluride to keep from becoming, is a world-class ritzy type scene, you know?
 
I struggled to read that you know grammar and punctuation might help but thats just me ya know

Also... uhmm who are you? I think you deleted the first part of your post by accident, you sort of just jump into this rant about rich people.

Soo... what? Where and who is Rasta Stevie was the original question. Are you Rasta Stevie?
 
I found this... it makes me laugh. i don't agree nor disagree, i just dunno who he is.
"""""The rich kids in mountain towns are called trustafarians. Because they live off their trust funds sit around drink and do drugs.
One guy in Telluride took it to a new level. His name is Rasta Stevie. He has blond dreads down to his ass. Reeks of patchouli, sells some good weed, and was even a town council member.

One winter he decided to go to Jamaica, he got his ass kicked really bad.""""""
 
Ha ha ha ha....Wow... Truth, lies, fiction and fact... and an odd mixture of all. Rasta Steveh moved to Telluride the same season that I did. We moved there for the legendary "Deep December" in 1982 and played in the 8750 Reggae Band together for a decade. Check outhttp://www.facebook.com/pages/8750-Reggae-Band/200594660000875

Look for more on Rasta Steveh this year on the web show HIGHEST REGION that will be on Inspired Media this season.... oh.... whoops... You're not suppose to know that yet so don't tell anyone till they announce it officially.

But, Steveh is my Idren. He has been the announcer for the old Reggae on the River music festivals. He has inspired many people with his ultra friendly vibes. He is a family man. He has the ability to pissed off people and then turn around and make them laugh and walk away friends. He has been to Jamaica many times. The only place or time that I've seen or heard about him getting his ass kicked is on the mountain, because he loves to ski "the shit." And sometimes the mountain kicks his ass.

Steveh is still spinning Reggae and Dancehall in Durango, Colorado. Look for his story this winter.

Inspired..... inna di Highest Region.

Yes Indeed,Jah Steve, the town council dready. Telluride back in the day was going off. Steveh was the drummer of the 8750 Reggae Band... the highest reggae band in the world. If you want to hear some music from Steveh and the 8750... hit this link and click the song "Housing" or "Boss Fire" by 8750.

I find great humor in all these rumors, if anybody wants to know the REAL TRUTH about trustafarians, ski culture degredation, and where i really get my ass kicked, email me at rastasteviesmith@yahoo.com
 
i want to see the picture you drew, email it to me and i will print it and sign it and send it back to you, seen? rastasteviesmith@yahoo.com
 
"I didn't know old ski dudes" could find new schoolers?....

Ha ha This is all good. Cuz it's about the mountain culture.

Remember.... I've been a New Schooler since the Old School was new.

 
If this thread is indeed real, I hope everybody realizes how legendary both rasta Stevie and Geoff Stump are in ski film history.
 
Plake can barely answer a phone. He doesn't do email..... the short answer...NO. But... He does love doing the unpredictable.... so I'll say no way does Plake ever post on NS.

 
Wow. The old Telluride sequence from Blizzard... Skiers... Scott Rawles, Geoff Stump, Scott Kenett, Robert "Dogwood" Aguire, Lynn Wieland and some crazy loud Club A clothing. It's funny how all the bright ass colors came back a few years ago. I think the yellow jackets worn in some shots by me and Rawles are SOS. The is funny, pow on the old skinny sticks.
 
Pretty funny Stevie... I'm impressed to see you on here crushing the forums already. Unfortunately most of the trustafarians in Telluride are all about heroin and they never get on the hill sadly and thankfully. Either way Telluride was a different world back in the day. It was nicer when people with money didn't flaunt it like they do now. Oh well "the times are a changing," have changed and maybe will change for the better once again. Till then, RIP Telluride.
 
oh yeah Stevie and Stumpa! so many tales on here....the truth is stranger than all the fiction people make up.....Telluride will always be the magic kingdom....
 
that segment is probably my favorite of all time. so many memories of watching that when i was little. Jah Jah Houphouet
 
This thread restored my confidence in Newschoolers that was lost in NSG. Can't wait for the inspired show, i can already tell it will be one of my favorites
 
Yes, we all want to see that picture that you drew. Or can anyone else draw a picture of Stevie? Ha ha... Also... the Inspired Show "Highest Region" will be wicked... we'll have Rasta Stevie and some classic ski characters and some of the latest "throw down sessions" in the park.
 
Stevie, if I end up in Durango for college inna couple years think you could show me around? :D You are the guy I added on facebook right? Been doing a lot of reggae shows?
 
haha its pretty tiny drawing in a notebook back at school. ill upload that when i get back or iill draw another one...

I am fucking GEEKED that you dudes are on this forum....

I watched Blizzard of Ahhs & Maltese Flamingo for the first time last fall & they changed my whole perspective on skiing... inspiring work still, years & years later. I zudnick off of everything now.
