Replying to Drew "The Fatman" Lederer
I think if any of skiing's unsung hero's needs an appreciation thread, its Riley Poor. But in a close second it would have to be Drew Lederer. You all know who he is. The big guy, usually in his blue and red Empire beanie, Lugging a giant plastic ski case full of who knows what for his shots. Who else flies to Sweden on his own dime with that much equipment just to get the shot? Not to mention he's the man companies call to rescue them when they cant get the coloring right on their vid, so all the happy little groms out there can be stoaked on this season's new ski porn. Ever intelligent, and never afraid to show his opinion, even if it pisses you off, he knows more about cinematography than most directors and ski movie CEOs. Lets face it, being that he's the dude who gave up his high school social life in order to perfect the ski movie, its paid off. You can clearly tell a "Fatman" shot in a movie when you see it.
So lets hear some Effing appreciation NewSchoolers!!!!!
