clint fiala was never that good i thought. his little segment in some movie a few years ago was not too impressive.

I have to agree with Toben Sutherland, he was pretty decent back in the day. I dont how you can say evan raps has faded away when he just had his own segment in happy Dayz. Trennon Payntor, Kevin Douglas, Loubek

Schad is indeed just enjoying life with his wife, working hard and building a shit ton of houses in Rapid City, SD. Toben moved to Calgary I believe with his beautiful wife to coach freestyle. Laroche is skiing around and chilling. Marc-Andre is skiing hard in Utah all the time and he just had a shot in Freeskier doing it up on the wallride at Tremblant. Loubeck currently lives in Cor'delane, Idaho and works for Oakley as a sales rep in the Pacific Northwest. Rod Adams did indeed break himself at Hood, shown in SM2. The infamous Schrab twins, attend college back in Wisconsin and don't get out skiing much. They still host one hell of a competition back in Michigan every season replete with tons of Red Bull, swag and of course, Uncle E.

Phil Dion and Evan Dyvbig?
Co Founder of Flaming Penguin Productions


Minor Threat Represent

What's alike between Michel Jockson and Burger King?

They're both trying to put 40 year old meat in between 10 year old buns

What's alike between Michel Jackson and Wal-Mart?

They both have boys pants half off.

If you wanna find Toben Sutherland, move to calgary and start aerials training. He was hired by the national program as a coach(development team, I think, not sure), and a friend of mine can't stop telling me how good of a coach he is. His wife is also extra hot, and he apparently had one killer stag party, as shown in Parental Advisory(he's the guy who can barely mumble, half passed out in the Whistler Village with a couple of friends helping him out!)

And even if most pros do 'fade away', they'll still always be bigger local heros then any of us will ever be.

Suprisingly Mike Douglas, Seth Morrison and Shane McConkey aren't fading, they're all over 31 and still getting stronger.

Sutherland for sure, he came out charging with the Venus Fly-Trap and made us laugh puking his brains out and forgetting his own name in Parental Advisary Volume 1 but after that he just disappeared.

kris ostness did not fade away, he retired, basicly the guy was fuckin sooooo progressive for his time, just think 5 years ago when the coolest thing was throwing a hucked iron cross 900, ostness was doing flat spin 360s over 100ft back country jumps, as well pimp lincoln/cork 3s, and massive mctwists on bc quarter pipes, the footage still makes me shit myself, not to mention he is in my opinion the best ski filmaker out there, just look at lifted, that movie is put together sooo well, i love it, music and all, ok hada get that off my chest

oh ya he also had his own pro model, 193 ostness dragon, sooo tight, i believe its still the longest twin tip ever made?

I don't doubt this, because he asked me if i wanted to come over to his house and gerbil. I insisted that he come over to MY house, since the whole thing seemed weird. As a practical joke, i attached a bucket of water to the top of the door so that when he opened it, I beat him with a mannequin leg.'-Skydaddy

'Peter Mehrof...ha yeah he was the guy in stereotype with no poles'

your thinking of pete mithoefer. He is actually real nasty but hes onlike like 19. He skis no differently than he does with poles, his style is so nasty. I grew up seein that kid ride and he was doing switch 9's back in '97.
