Was watching old ski videos over the weekend, and Dave just kills it. I declare this a "Appriciate Crichton" zone, so please post any video/photo of this east coast newschool pioneer and give this guy respect.

Absolutely. 100%. Dave's the man.

I have a feeling other people will be agreeing with you on this thread. Nice work!

Couldn't agree more. He was THE man for me. Soooo ahead of his time. His segments in Ready Fire Aim and High Five were the goldest. Will never forget about him

DC is the most missed man in skiing. We all miss him and we could only wish for another Crichton segment. He was years ahead of his time. If he was still in the game he would be winning every comp from rail jam to pipe to slope to superhit. If we could only get Berman to convince him to make a 2008 comeback!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was either Happy Dayz or Ready Fire Aim, and I agree, I always loved that jump session in Breck with the switch right 3, zero, switch 10. All so smooth and stomped.

i saw him on tv a while back, not for skiing but on this program about living with crohns disease. Ive got a lot of respect for him, both for his skiing and for his ability to live a normal life with a disease that really sucks balls.

i used to watch the Certifiable trailer like..every day a few times. i wish it was on that site.

but damn, Crichton is the shit. i'd still watch his forward segment over any full movie from recent years.

I'm in that photo wearing the white hoodie on the deck, behind me is Chris Turpin holding his skis over his head for a bit of height perspective. Haha, I thought he did this at the 2003 WSI how time fly's.

Dave was an amazing skier who killed pipe, park and urban rails. His alley-oop 5 critical over that transfer pipe gap is one of the greatest pipe tricks ever. Not to mention his segment in forward is one of the greatest jib segments ever, if not the greatest.

Dave is a super nice guy and I had the opportunity to ski with him a number of times around Ottawa. I was stoked!

to paraphrase the thing i think about every time i hear dc's name...

from RFA

"hi, we're filming for telephone number tv, do you want to be on our show?"

"noo"

"come on"

"what do i have to do"

"just give me your phone number"



i laugh my ass off every time i see that, and wish i had a camera so i could snake that line.

yea ready fire aim and high five are real good movies, the true pioneers.  i was always diggin the steezy backyard setup they had with the flat box to C rail, they were just messin around.  I just remember watching how good of a time they were having.



this is him surfing, must feel so natural.

DEC straight killed it. His pipe runs were so ahead of his time.

Bummer that he isn't around anymore.

Also bummer that my High Five dvd has some sort of weird distortion on it and won't read. That was my favorite movie, ever.

Dave was and always will be the sickest skier ever. I skiied with him at Mt. Hood like 5 years ago at Windells and there couldn't have been a nicer, more down to earth guy. Check out the interview from Level 1 they just did....congrats to Dave for keeping positive!
