I don't get why TJ Schiller is still in the AM team though.. if TJ is an amateur skier then I guess most of us r like learning how to turn on skis...
He's one of the best out there and should be on the pro team.. I just don't get it

If they pay him at all, he technically wouldn't be an amateur, so maybe he doesn't get $$$, just skis.

TJ Himself has said that he doesn't consider himself Pro just yet, and I think he has said he wants to keep being an AM. It could also be because Armadas team is and has always been top notch (who has an AM who has won the X-Games, one who basically wins every comp he enters and puts out killer video parts, and an AM who is in TBC, War and people are guessing he is the "next Tanner or Jon"...)

But I'm sure they do pay him.

of course they pay him, but not that much but he still gets paid enough, not to mention contest winnings and the fact that everything is basically paid for when hes on trips.

if they pay him then he's not an amateur, technically.

One would think that you'd have a bigger gripe with Zach Davison not being listed on the Ams part, considering he had a full segment in War... but who knows how Armada's team works. Suffice it to say it kicks legions of ass.

i think zach deserves to be on am, he killed it this year and he got a full segment with poorboyz, rage and theory-3. thats 3 full movie segments. plus people talk about him all the time. i also think he is incredibly attractive.
