Claim.

In Michigan, we had a rail jam and last night Glen was in town for a movie premiere. He heard about the jam so before it started he came to check it out...

man thats awesome, youve met a legend! his hair is absolutely redonkulous in that picture btw. i wouldnt think that gel and hair spray could keep your hair like that when its so long. he must use steel wires for reinforcement

Yeah i saw him at the x-games in mt snow in like 2001.  Wicked nice guy, said hello exchanged a high five and then got on the lift.  He is the best ambassador for the sport!  Well spoken, nice to everyone, and lives for skiing.

That means I was standing next to you that whole time... weird. but after you left I talked with him for a solid 20 minutes about the level 1 lawsuit, Shane, and skiing in general. He thinks the Lawsuit is a joke on WME's part and he supports Shane he told me about how he shot a movie in the early 90's and WME bout the rights to put their name on it and he was upset about that, He told me how he met Shane skydiving on his birthday and his wife surprised him with a trip with Shane, and he is probably the most down to Earth genuine person Ive ever met. I was in the autograph line and we were talking for bout 10 minutes and people started getting angry so I caught up with him after the show. I also had him sign my Level 1 beanie.He was extremely friendly and I probably would have talked to him longer, but his manager was trying to get him to go to the after party at a restruant. my buddy took some pictures...

i was walking out with him and his manager and I asked him how well he knew Shane, and he told me that on his birthday his wife blindfolded him, put him in a car, drove 2 hours, got on a plane, took off his blindfold and it was him and Shane and they went skydiving. He is a really cool guy

The skis that they gave to my dad are sweet especially since he is into wood stuff. But my dad just bought new skis a week ago so i will probably get to use them
