Pro's who "fell-out"

I was thinking the other day about all of the original and more recent pro's who fell out of the sport without much of a trace.

What are they doing now?

The big ones I can think of are:

- Brad Holmes - ?
- JoMo - ?
- Evan Raps - ?
- Mikael - ?
- Corey Vanular - ?
- Vincent Dorion - ?
- Dave Crichton - ?

These are just guys I haven't seen or heard of in the last little while. Are they still in the industry?

like everyone said, vanular is far from "fell-out".

Vinnie Dorion is so sick, i hope he has some movie part this year.

im pretty sure that no one would give vinnie d any money to shoot his segments. his one in ski porn was paid for by himself, and he must have not thought it was worth it to keep going

mmm hmm. especially the kid wondering where mike douglas went. "well, he didn't have a seggy in Real Time, so I think he must have quit skiing or something."

Thank you. When I saw a "Pros Who Fell Off" thread, I was sure I'd be the first one to come up. Finally.

Vinnie is no longer with 4frnt. they still make the VCT but he is not longer on the team im pretty sure. there was a good article about him in powder last year. when i mean good, it was very informative about his career and life, but he is no longer a paid athlete, and is working as a carpenter in Quebec trying to ski around in the area. really really fucking depressing for me to read as he was one of the skiers who i met when i just got into freeskiing and lovedwatching him ski.

i totally agree man. I was watching stereotype the other day and crichton destroyed it! That segment could almost be in a movie today. His flat 5 in the pipe at the end is comparable to even dumont airs.

Most recently Dave has started surfing and I think I've even seen him snowboarding...

he got hurt a couple times and when he finaly came back he was really far behind everyone else so he just kind of stopped skiing, i think he's a rep for an oxygen company now or something but i could be totaly wrong

Sorry, maybe I used the wrong term.

how about "disappeared"? haven't seen or heard anything about for awhile?

Unlike you, I'm not his best friend and therefore do not receive daily updates from him.

i think it's funny how people are asking about athletes 'falling out' who were in movies that came out this most recent season ha. 'how bout tanner hall, haven't seen anything from him in the past week, he's really off the radar'

p.s. derek finn is now living in canada, he got into some really fucked legal troubles after he got busted making fake ID's for high schoolers and he bounced up north. i heard he's riding for line this coming season tho. lookout for the comeback of all time.

this may seem stupid but i havent heard of anything about Pk Hunder at all this year. I saw him in this one article about editing the jiberish day at breck edit but thats it. I know he got injured to so he couldnt do JOSS. Otherwise why hasnt he had other coverage. Definatly havent seen anything about him on newschoolers.

actually crohns is a very severe (and i believe, currently incurable) type of irritable bowel disease. so that guy is not really an idiot.

haha hell yes. Pete is the fucking man. He is actually from around where I grew up in VT and is one of the steeziest kjds on the face of the earth. I just remember seeing Pete and his buddy Luke and a bunch other sick Line riders shralping around Bromley. He repped no poles before anyone else even thought of riding park with no poles.  When line first started making skis he just rode with no poles because he used to be a skiboarder. He has nasty style and unfortunately only ever had one major seggy (Stereotype). He never really "blew up" so  its hard to say he really "fell off".
