Erik Naess is  so nice. Don't know if he's that known in USA but i think he had a shot in the Norway part in realtime. Andreas is also a chill guy

on another note though, from the vids online stepp seems like a hilarious little motherfucker. i think im like 2 years older than the kid, but i think he'd be a ridiculous dude to hang out and ski with. steve i know youre on here a lot, so if you read this just know im gonna buy you a 40 of OE if i ever see you on the hill. oh, and no homo, before any of you say anything.

i've only ever met uk pros and they were all rad guys, the nicest was probably Bungle (ben hawker).

from the internet and things i can definetly gather that Ced is nothing but a righteous dude and that the same goes for Paco Garcia.

Also he's not pro but am, Ian Wade was really cool when i gave him props for his edit then out of the blue he even gave me heads up when his new one was out and pointed me toward another couple he thought i would enjoy.

benchetler and pollard. bench was my coach at windells and we had a jolly time at triple threat. actually remembered who I was haha...and they had an epic draw-off on my posters. french fries vs. hamburgers. I still don't know who won.

there are a few that are down to earth and intelligent with a good head on their shoulders who mean well and are genuinely nice people. but most of the pros i know and have met are dumb, have no sense of responsibility, and dont care about anyone but themselves.

however,

there are of course some really great shredders out there who have it all, brains witts beauty and talent.

Most pros are genuinely nice guys, but Tim Russell is one of the nicest guys I've hung out with on or off the mountain. Sammy's up there too.
