I often wonder the same thing. He seems like a funny guy and all but I've never really liked his style much, even before he got so fat. I am damn impressed though that a fat ass like him can still do misty 7's and lug rails down to the beach and stuff.

I just want to add that Glen Plake is a pimp and I've got no beef with him.

Plake earned his right to be there ,but Holmes sucks balls. His segment in Ski Movie 3 is a joke.

you guys dont know shit. I met holmes a couple of days ago at the Norica party at stratton, and hes cool shit. he has deffinitly be working out, cause the guy is ripped. anyway, i would like to see any one of you punks ski the stuff that he does. Any one can throw a 360 in the park, butit takes balls to ski 45 degreee and up chutes in AK.
And whats wrong with Plake. As far as im concerned plake is one of the coolest guys in the industry. He will ski with anybody who want to ski with him, telling you pointers and all. and it takes shit loads of skill to ski what he does, on 212 cm K2's. I give him mad props cause the gey is over twice my age and still rips like no other.
Of your gonna critique these guys, at least be able to ski as good as them in THERE elements. Yea they might not be as good as tanner in the park, but i bet that tanner looks up to these guys as bid mountain riders. nuff said.

fuck you fram! you don't know shit about what plake has done for the sport! when you can ski like him, then talk all the shit you want! without guys like plake and schmidt, guys like micah black, kent kreitler and seth morrison wouldn't be doing what they're doing now!
respect your predecessors!

Fram u dumb ass.... plake can licoln of cliffs with 215's on and could probably kick your ass in a slopestyle comp right now..... as for holmes he is incredibly naturaly talented and sounds like a cool guy but i think he just hasn't put as much time into skiing as he used to

i would like to see any of those park riders rip ak lines like holmes does. it takes balls to rip ak lines. and as far as progression goes in big mountain skiing, there is not to much to be done. just shut the fuck up now while you have some dignety.

It's all marketing.
The people talking shit about Plake need to be shot.
Plake is in ads for the same reason why you see Mosely in ads. Recognition.
In the skiing industry Plake is still one of the most recognized figures today.
And I take it that Brad Holmes is in ads his image. The hardcore gangster image.
