I just watched 1242 for the fucks knows how many'th time.
watched tanners seggy in total awe as i always do. but when i see that first left-side cork 3, it always becomes a real nostalgic moment for me.
so, so smooth. he barely moves a muscle. landing so easily, so corked. that is what this sport is about to me, and i will always look back on that one trick as the reason i fell in love with skiing i rekon

13, and Los Alamos were the first movies I saw. Put I would say Propaganda really got me looking into how badass it is. Jons Segment in it is too good, and JF absolutely slayed.

my friend joss got me into it and watching PC tv every morning watching the locals that i knew going pro and putting together sick seggs got me wanting to ski a lot. What pushed me was everyone makin fun of me and stuff for hitting small jumps and that made me push myself into doing bigger things.

i started skiing wen i was 1(my dad lived in denver, its born into you)but i wasnt serious about it till i was like 4. i did racing, NASTAR all american racer camp and shit like that till i was 11. then i boarded for about 3 years, got good, but didnt like it as much
then, rite about wen i decided i was gonna go back to my beloved sport(all mountain with some racing and stuff), a good friend of mine introduced me to freeskiing, and even by word of mouth(and watching him work his magic) i decided it was for me
this person was -armada_1242-. yes, he is awesome(you owe me, pete)

johnny moseley's 360 mute. i had never thought about doing an iron cross grab and a 360 at the same time. after that i started renting warren miller movies from the video store just to watch whatever freestyle skiing they would put in them.

Back way back when I was in Kimberly and Trennon Payton was on a chairlift with me telling about this movie '13' that he was in. I couldn't find it in town so I ordered it along with Degenerates. The seg with Philou, Trennon, & Cusson basically convinced me that this was more than just a fad or a desperate attempt to keep a sport alive.

I've been skiing since I was old enough to stand independantly, but i fell in love with freeskiing the first time I was skiing around at some random mountain and I saw some guy slide a rail, I just never even thought about that before that moment, it opened up this whole new side of skiing that we all enjoy so much

I've skied since I was 4, but I was thinking about trying snowboarding then I saw Ski Movie. Seth's segment blew my mind w/ how big he went. I got the original 1080's & then it was Propaganda that I started to really think about tricks and style.

My dad used to take us to the warren miller movies when they would come around to local schools. That was enough for me, but I just like being outside.

Probably growing up spending my summers in the ski shop, waiting for snow to come...
also, the day i switched back from snowblading(who hasnt?) to real skis.
and then again when i saw ski movie 3, kinda a shitty flick, but it was my first one so it gabe me a good look into the ski culture.

This will date me, but my parents took me to see Warren Miller's Steep and Deep when I was really young - just before my second season on skis. Scot Schmidt warped my understanding of what skiing was at a very early age.

propaganda got me out of racing, but in the east coast the only thing to do are race and ride park.
