Duncan Adams=Legit

As I have been watching Level 1 films for a while now (every one since High 5), I've noticed that Duncan Adams has been in (I think) every one, at least in bonus features. Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyhow, after watching the AK segment in Refresh, I realised that he is only 16, which would put him at around 10/11 in the first part he appeared in, which I believe is shots of a rail jam at Stowe or Killington.

Anyhow, long winded I know,  but what I'm trying to say is, holy shit, he has had some grown up steeze for a long while. Duncan kills it, and if he is hitting up AK at 16, combined with the fact that he kills it in the park, damn I cannot see what else he can do.

Fuck yeah Duncan!

Hell yeah, especially those shots from when he would have been six? Amazingly well developed skiing for that age!

not going to lie. a part of me died when i found out that he was 16 and got sent on a heli trip to alaska. i am not putting his ability on skis down in any way, but i was surprised he went on the trip over an older, more experienced backcountry skier.

Everyone is a rookie on their first AK trip... While Duncan wasn't originally slated to be on that trip, a spot opened up, and he was ready to jump in. In my opinion he was just as qualified as anyone else on the Level 1 program to be on that trip, and he held it down.

Not to mention, he paid for that trip out of pocket with his hard earned contest winnings.

I give him props all the way around for that...

Duncan is so sick, I remember seeing him in Turbo and thinking to myself, wait, wasn't that the little kid in the Next X Snow Search thing? My bro did the Next X Snow Search two years, and the year it was at Killy, I filmed some of it for my bro. That kid threw down even back then.
