He's a fucking mad man. I always get the most stoked for Wilson parts. One of my favorites no homo. What's he been up to as of late?

not quite, wilson doesnt land enough of the stuff he attempts to achieve a level like that. he kills it either way though.

he doesn't land anything, mcconkey took huge hits but his awesomeness stemmed from his ability to huck a 40 footer, take 3 turns, then hit a double stage 70 footer and straightline out

wilson is about pulling a rodeo 5 off an 80 foot cliff and landing on his face and getting up and trying it again

he still kills it thought, i love watching wilson's msp segments

Yeah.. Wilson's known for just doing the stupidest stuff ever that puts him in harm's way all the time lol.

I mean cmon... half the stuff in this segment, you wouldnt see ANYONE ELSE DOING. Thats the key to all of this...

hucking a 720 off a cliff do a terrible angle like it aint no thing? yeah, thats wilson..

Well, isnt it true?

I mean... without a gnarly moustache to catch the wind right, you cant do 4 consecutive backflips in a mini park... Unless you're Mike Wilson, that is.

There was a Wilson interview a while back where he explained his reason for stopping filming with MSP. It was because they portrayed him as a stuntman, not a skier, and never showed him landing anything. It appears Wilson was right about the way MSP showed him.

It is true with this segment for sure..

BUT, he's still a rad fucking skier anyway and he definitely can land shit.. just look at his seggy from courderoy or whatever where he was absolutely LAUCHING that shasta ski park gap...

Who's he filming with these days anyway? I haven seen a segment from mike wilson in a year or two...

kinda why i posted this, i wasnt sure where he went.. i know he's still around, but i was just curious..
