Mike Wilson has always been a stunt man, and is known for going huge and hucking carcuss.  I remember when he was the little 14 year old kid shredding the gnar.  he has his own style, and he seems to like skiing.

Mike was throwing down up here at schweitzer. Road gap. He is also tearing up the mountain on his sleds. he is into the adrenaline rush.

MIke Wilson is one of the most enjoyable skiers to watch, he just fuckin kills it.  Some of the shit he does off rails is just plain sick.  Definitely one of my top teen favorite skiers.

Being a high-profile pro skier involves as much schmoozing, babykissing and contract-signing as it does actually skiing. Only the guys most driven to be famous end up getting that kind of attention, whereas some guys prefer to go skiing and huck carcass without hiring an agent to tell everyone about it beforehand. It seems Wilson is one of those guys.

In my opinion, a "ski career" is a relationship between a skier and his skiing, not between a skier and the public's eye. So I'd say Wilson's skiing career is doing just fine.

ya, he is all time.
plus he was into doubles before anyone else, or at least before they were the contest winner hammer trick.

How many guys out there have a smile on their face all day?
He seems to, I respect that.

Wilson is a skiing god among mere mortals. He is very good, and I much enjoy to watch him to ski.

his part in seven sunny days was kind of bizarre. he went all the way to india to shoot and then they only showed him jibbing that house thing... switch backflip to flat was unreasonable the man must have reinforced knees

How can you finish with skiing? You can't retire from skiing.

It's only a "ski career", in the sense that you framed it, if people pay to watch you. The trick with being high profile is only letting people in on the purist dimension of your life; ie the relationship between the skier and his skiing. Thats when you really get people to identify with you in a holistic way. Tanners 'turn' in presentation from "king of the heap" to "i love skiing" elevated him in many peoples eyes...its such a great PR move, maybe he's a lot smarter than we all thought.

that remains the best couple of minutes in any ski movie ever. anyone who can do that is most certainly not "finished". He'll be making the rest of us look like pussified losers for quite a while yet.

i remember skiing with that cat at hood and he would drop synthetic heroin before slicing the slush. kids a nuts. another time i met him at the msp shoot at squaw a couple years ago and he was still drunk from last nights carnival, so here is this crazy banshy throwing huge rodeos over death gaps lost in the confines of a deep and puzzling head drown. say all you want but anyone who can still shred while high on heroin or drunk deserves a small if not a outstanding amount of respect, for better or worse.... in other news michelle parker was really atracted to him and he blew anychacne i had of hooking up with her! hears to superhuman drug freaks who enjoy wild stunts and rich kid sports!!!!!!!!!!!

drunk + hungover hell yes, but I cannot believe for a second Wilson -- or anyone -- could rip on heroin, nevermind whatever crap you are talking about that is 'synthetic heroin'. I mean WTF. first, if you are an opiate addict, you don't even get off the fucking couch, never_mind going skiing. you ever tried flipping around on any other drug besides weed? i mean forget it. and what on earth do you mean by synth heroin? methadone? the shit they give users who are trying to kick the habit? or do you mean just some downers, some ludes or something? i mean if anything, skiing would be conducive to some amphetamines, not downers.

on the skis he was riding there was very little tip. It seemed really weird to me and I didn't like it but considering the man only broke one ski all season and it was landing switch on the roadgap I would say they qualify as a quality ski.

Wilson is out there for sure. The guy has that weird dna strand that alot of top "adreneline" athletes out there have. He on the same hand is one of the nicest pro's I've ever met. He works as hard as anyone out there and proves to everyone that he can do just about anything. After setting a 70 foot gap to down rail up for him I asked him what parks he had been riding, and he replied "non really, this will pretty much be the first rail i've hit all season." He ends up doing a Rodio 5 onto it. The guys has serious skills. Yes his ideas of skiing are different than most, and it's hard to work with that in this industry of perfection and idealism and trying to sell products. So de doesn't really fit in there, and I think that's fine. I would't look for Wilson to ever be a houshold name, but he's definitely got my respect.
