Yooo NS,

I searchbarred it and nothing. So I was wondering what skier has inspired you to go bigger and push yourself harder than you ever imagined? I would have to say that Eric Pollard for me is hands down the driving factor on trying to progress my riding (especially in the pow). LETS HEAR EM!

Definitely the guys who are doin the huge tricks at my small, home mountain. You get to see how chill they are and when you think i could be in the same place they are in a year, you force yourself to progress.

Blake Nyman and Pollard are most definitely my biggest inspiration. Both have such wicked individual styles.

CR Johnson, the way he recovered amazed me, and he showed me that if you work hard enough you can achieve anything.


"It will take a little bit of time. Its going to take a lot of effort, a lot of energy. And I'll give it that. I have to, I have to because that is what I want for my life and what I want with my life I'm willing to work for and what I'm willing to work for I'm definatly willing to achieve." CR, RIP.

Mr. Fujas was my first skiing idol.

Nowadays I look at Garrett Russel and a lot of the Traveling Circus. They seem to be having the most fun.

biggest inspiration is my friends around me stoked on shredding....watching my friends do new tricks inspires me to try new things...seeing someone stomp a trick they have been trying for a while, watching people huck meat from the chair lift inspires me. Smoking a huge bowl before dropping a line or shredding pow always inspires.
