I think so. Can't really think of anyone else that was doing it so consciously before. Someone prove me wrong.

afterbang is the gayest thing to ever happen to skiing.

He was the park team coach at stratton last year. I think he then was picked up by ninthward.

1:13-15    Most Afterbang Ever Possible. Ever.

That's what I want to do after every trick.

if travis saw this im sure he would want to slap you in the face. HE IS JUST SKIING! His tricks dont have afterbang because he doesnt worry about it, instead he worrys about the trick being one flow concept. Im 100% positive he wasnt intending to be any father. This is old news any true rail skier knows travis is the master but not of afterbang just of being G.

stop talking about him, start skiing like him. I bet he would respect seeing his style come into play. Its hard to know what travis is about unless you saw him the year after he stopped filming though.

Travis Heed is now also running a drug ring from Canada to Ecuador.  He goes under the code name of Peasciotta and is one of the head commodores of the Italian mafia and Drug ring... But dont tell anybody

because that wasnt a movie, it was afterlame

and yes, heed is the afterbang originator.  also the originator of most rail skis most kids have now, they just dont know where it came from.  he coached last year for stratt, this year he is at snow, and he is still one of the best jibbers around, smoothest cat ive ever seen ski in person, he just doesnt give a fuck about shit like NS or filming.  and yeah, hes riding for 9

no, he was right. Afterbang is the name of a Robot Food movie. Afterlame came out the year after (eh, maybe the year before) Afterbang.

yea i think most of us sort of knew this. and after seeing 2 clips in there from mtn creek in dirty jersey ive come to the solution that since mtn creek used to be brogans home mtn, either brogan started feeding off of t heed or it was the other way around

Its just a dumb thread! and im sure Heed wouldnt want respect for something he isnt or never intended to be a father of. Title it "Travis Heed - Master of rails" im sure he would be pumped if someone wrote a thread like that about him on this website.

your wrong, being the master of rails and father of afterbang are two entirely different things. Im not sure about you but if i saw a thread saying i was the master of rails i would really apreciate that as to if i saw a thread saying i was the father of afterbang i would be like wow that is incredibly idiotic. im just giving my feedback, i respect yours too but disagree with it.

in reguards to the actuall video. SAS films - Wicked is in my opinion the best movie i have ever seen and Travis had my favorite segment so the respect i have for HEED is enourmous

youre missing my point.  Im not saying they are two different things, Im saying heed wouldnt give a fuck either way.  he would not be pumped to see either thread.  he has a genuine hate for NS and an indifference towards the opinions of the people on this site.  Yes, most of us would be excited to be called master of rails on NS, he wouldnt

and yeah, wicked is a friggin amazing movie.  this is one of my favorite seggys of all time.  t-rains, colby west, jp solberg and sean logans parts are also pretty awesome for the time period.
