No not really, but wow like two years ago he had a sick segment in Dendrite studios movie, and now he coaching the Russian ski team? Hell yeah! I remember when he was trying to be the first guy to throw a triple at momentum Heres the article its on the front page, but this is big news, and congrats to him, and I know he will help the Russians a lot.

Can someone explain to my why Canada didn't hire him?

He was the first skier ever to do an entire halfpipe run switch and he is one of the best coaches ever.

Trennon is a great coach but it's too bad there wasn't an opportunity for Turpin with team Canada. He really is one of the most under-rated skiers around. Great skier and great coach. Stoked for him.

Out of Shadows was just last year.... I guess it was filmed 2 years ago though. He has the best attitude in the park in whistler always gives tips and smiles to everyone. Good move by Russia to pick him up.
