This cat was king...

He was one of my favorite riders... He had soo much style and skill in the pipe. I remember he blew out his knee at the X-games, but I don't recall hearing anything about him after that. I think he's still running D-Structure up in Montreal, but I haven't been there in a few years now.

I've searched numerous threads, and can't find anything.

Anyone got some info... if so hook it up

I remember watching that X-Games. It looked like he blew his knee when he crashed on his first run, but he went back up and dropped in for a second run anyway. Skiing on a knee that he had just destroyed, he stomped an immaculate 5 or 9 first hit (can't remember which one), then just collapsed on the next hit. I still can't believe he dropped in for his second run.

they've made like 3 since he blew out his knee at x-games, which is what he asked. also, he was one of the people behind plehouse. and i heard they were teaming up with someone to make a movie...

They went under...

Too bad though; they made sick movies... I can't say I disliked any of them.

Of the three Phil's he is my favorite... He could throw anything. Back in the day he was so technical. No arms flailing, just some smooth style.

Are you sure he is on Liberty??? Link or pics? I remember he had one Pro model with Dynastar, and after that the team pretty much split. DO you know if they'll make him another pro model.

Have you not been reading the thread... D-Structure went under in Montreal.

or maybe I am making a mistake and there are two locations in Quebec?

Phil B had a banger ass Freeze cover, a sick pipe shot with a sunset...Freeze sent me two copies, so I tore one cover off and that shot's been riding over near my bed for quite some time now. And I've got this sick sunny Phil B pipe shot poster from June riding on my other wall, and now that I think of I also have an old Freeskiing open shot on my other other wall...so yeah...that dude's all over my room. And he's got a really nice style, I really dig it. He always put up good parts, I hope he hooks up with some new filmers or something and gets to do his thing.
