If I'm correct in thinking this is dave chrichton who crashed on the rage film shoot then he is back competing, albeit not winning...

You're thinking of Derek Spong,


Crichton's last segment was the urban seggy in Shanghai Six, although his segment in Forward was the sickest thing since sliced bread.

are you serious?

ANY questioning or remarks short of hailing crichton as a king should get you thrown out of this site!

and didnt we all used to ski bumps? all the pros did, i still love to rip them every once in while.

you have totally missed the point of my observations. I put that up b/c i totally agree w/ dave. And i wanted to see if any of the mogul haters would start some shit.

The best skiers I know absolutely slay moguls, and it's so impressive to watch. 
I agree with Gary...Crichton has done more for skiing than nearly anyone.  I bet if you ask almost any successful skier (especially up and comers) what the best segment ever is, a good portion of them will say Crichton from Forward. 
His alley oop flat 5 at WSI forever ago started the skiing pipe revolution.

i remember hearing this skier i was on the chair with call his pro skis "crichtons"...like critch-tons, not crigh-tons...all i could do was palm my face and shake my head...unless i've been pronouncing his name wrong the whole time, and then i feel like a tool and will facepalm/head shale myself lol.
