Straight up he is a legend who has now proven he still a part of the game. he help get skiing to the sportit is today, then had that rediculous natural hit line in Happy Dayz(if you haven't seen it go look). Guy rips it in the BC in MSP movies and now wins the back nine, still going strong. He also seems to not be a cocky bastard, rather he still seems to love the sport and give back to it

In summary here is to Mike Douglas, a true living legend in the ski world

Its funny how he sounds so dumb on TV commentating the X-Games and you would think he is a gaper, but he still kills it just as hard as anyone else

Mike D is sick. Pretty much invented freestyle, and is still ripping it as good as the young guys. Still super smooth. Props to Mike.

I'd say more Danny Way of skiing, Moseley is Hawk, but without sleeves.

That one misty flip he does in Degenerates still gets me hot.

Hahahahaha. Fucking great.

But Mike D is fucking awesome. One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet in the industry, and much shorter than I expected (but that seems to be said for most pros). If you haven't yet, read the Dave's interview with him in CREAM. It was posted in his blog back in the fall and I believe it is available at www.writeyourownway.com
