Mike Hornbeck= way more then afterbang

For those who dont know yet, I'm really nota big fan of afterbanging.

That being said  I like to give props when they are due and  right now I feel like some mad props are due to hornbeck for his turbo seggy.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, when  Hornbeck decide to slay, he slays hard. His Turbo segment showcase some of the most  crazy shit I,ve seen in a while. His bc stuff is stomped  and clean while some of his urban stuff are just ridiculous. 

With all the afterbang nonsense he caused this year (biased opinion , I know) I was expecting some crazy rideaways in his segment  but  when I saw  that 270 to absolute stomp on a steep and gnar looking urban dub kink my jaw dropped  to the ground and I  definatly had a "wtf, did that just really happen" feeling. Juts to give you an idea,  they show the rail in a previous shot where you see him woring on the kink with his skis and  the frist thing that goes to your head is gosh that could hurt if you screw up.


Anyway major props to Hornbeck for his turbo segment  it's definatly one of the nicest I've seen in a while.

Hornbeck straight up KILLLLS it. One day maybe his sponsors will start to see how hard this kid works to represent them, and how good a job he does for them....

This segment will definitely quiet anyone who  thought hornbeck was all afterbang, and ever second guessed his talent.  Every shot is a banger; bc jumps, urban, huge park shoot jumps, gap to rails;  pretty much got everything you want to watch... kid sllaaays

much much respect for hornbeck. one of the hardest working kids i know and one of the most under paid kids in skiing (I know this is always said). Its true because he made that segment with literally the amount of money an overpaid pro would spend on an night of sushi and drinks.

I agree Ced... I didn't used to like Hornbeck too much, I thought that he overdid everything, and that he wasn't actually too good. Well I was completely wrong, his Turbo segment is one of the best in the movie, and that movie is absolutely fucking nuts... The best Level 1 movie since Forward.  He kills it harder than I ever imagined.  I have a total new respect for Hornbeck, he is most definitely "way more than afterbang" he is  a really really really good skier.  I am rambling now, but that segment blew my mind.

not good, do 3 banger parts in 3 years .u dont hit handrails, u dont hit bc ,u do trick of the minute .get on ur own shit! man up, get out of the park, try to keep it under a 7, and learn to make it look good for once. ur to young to get this. you think im talking shit when really im trying to make u think before u say something like this again. u dont have a lot of years under, nor shit to back u besides coming up to fast. sorry but cant have u on here saying dumb shit like .

Such an amazing segment. Has level 1 ever put out a mediocre movie, no. I would really like to see some of these guys competing against Olsson, Dumont, Schiller, Jossi Wells etc in the X-Games.

Hornbeck throws down, so many wtf moments in his seggy..
