Bobby Brown=Real nice kid

I had the privalege of meeting Bobby Brown this weekend at Mt. Snow, my home mountain, because of Dew Tour.  I just happened to run into him in the park and said whats up etc.  Instead of the standard one word answers that most other pros gave (understandable, as everyone wants to say hi) Bobby was incredibly friendly, and treated me as if we were just 2 kids lapping through the park on a normal day.  I dropped into the jump line behind him and after he finished he would look back to see what I was throwing behind him.  At the end of the run he didn't ski away briskly into a circle of exclusive pros, but asked if me and my friends were going to keep taking runs, excited to get back up top and do it over again.  At the end of the day I'm just another kid, at another comp to Bobby, but he really was extremely nice and fun to be around.  I just wanted to give a shout out as the little things often go unoticed.

Definitely one of the most humble skiers that have had the success he has. I wouldn't be afraid to ask for his autograph.

Jon Olsen is a fucking toolbag though.

i like how in that video, bobby has a ton of respect for jon, complimenting him on progressing the sport with doubles.

and then a year later, jon is calling out bobby for his doubles. something is wrong with this picture

This is true, he's a really really nice kid.  He's always so stoked on anything skiing whether it be open gym, water ramps, or actual skiing.  I just don't get why everyone lost their shit on him for his run at Breck.  Someone unknown goes for it and wins, and everybody is pissed at him.  He never has anything bad to say about Jon or PK who both ragged on him.  Thats class.

Fact: Sammy is like "that"

I met up with Nick Martini to give him his Sag Straps on saturday at Mt Snow and he was chillen with Matt Walker as well. Both on sag straps. Sammy came up, so down to earth and really chill. Loved the idea of sag straps.

twas a fun weekend, minus me breaking my skis

Nick Martini is one of my new favorite skiers. Bobby Brown seems pretty cool though, and I have exchanged emails with Eric Pollard a few times. Really legit guy.

Nice, I'm glad everyone else sees it too.  Not only is he a nice kid, he straight murders it in the park too.
