I used to think Mike was cool when he did his thing on skiboards, then everyone hated on him when he started skiin. I didn't really like his style on skis at first but after watchin his seg in Stereotype I got a renewed respect for him. Good to see he's still puttin down. What did everyone think of his seg?

that's the thing though, I kept watching his seg in stereotype expecting to see 50 lui kangs, and maybe I missed it but I didn't see to many. There was more mutes than anything though I think.

i still don't like him, even in his seg in stereotype, he only did one or two of those lui kangs, but the only other grab he did was a saftey

I used to respect him but I heard he talked shit about skiers back in the day. Hes got talent tho.

yeah he is such a good skier, and a fuckin funny guy. he kinda gets grumpy, but hes pretty much always fuckin hilarious. Its guys like Szocs who spread romurs about him, they were all makin fun of him at high north. Its goes with that whole blame the FIS for everything, they don't like him, because he can do amazing tricks. why the fuck did szocs blame the insurance problems at High North in session 4 on the FIS. thats absolutley retarded. how would they fuck up the insurance. that was really stupid of him to say that, he should of just admited tot he blame.
sacrifice, to some its just a word, to others it is a code, what matters is the colony, he is willing to live for the colony, fight for the colony, die for the colony.

man, i met mike this summer in whistler and he's a super cool guy. He can throw down with the rest of them. Not being a fan of anyone is gay unless you seriously have something aginst them that they did to you. saying he's gay and you don't like him is just dumb.

skiwolff15 'Snowlerblading is not cool. '

It may not be cool now cause everyone jumped on the twin tip bandwagon but how many people used to 'snowlerblade' I know people like pollard used to. Besides, mike doesnt anymore, he skis, so thats kind of a dumb reason to dislike somebody.

If you haven't read it yet, check out his interview on powdermag.com, it's pretty good.

And man, all pro skiers suck ass, all they do is grab their skis! I am the first in the new revolution.... pole grabbing! That's right... be on the lookout for kamikaze to steal all the comps this year with my patented kami-spin mute pole grab.

you people that think mike nick sucks are fucking stupid.
seriously. go cement your feet together, and jump off a bride into a river.

if he sucked, why would he have gotten a pro model for the last.... what? 4 years now?

and why is he in pretty much every ski mag, and movie you see? cause he's good. and youre not.

i am not saying mike nick isn't a rad skier, but he is hariy*, and maybe the reason that he has had a pro model as long as line has been around is... Mike and J have been good friends since highschool. Mike is the reason line stayed alive during the skiboard phase of the company. Jason designed skiboards for his college project back in the day, and Mike being a great all around athlete took to his friend's new project... and now he skis.
