Would you say Nicky Keefer is pro?

For example, Max Hill is AM not pro, just wondering what Keefers' "status" is.

if he's getting paid by his sponsors and is making a living off of skiing then he's pro which i don't think he is

I wasn't "calling him out" He's a great skier, and an awesome guy, but is not one of the pros such as Tom, Henrik, and andreas.

Saying he isn't "pro" is pushing it IMO... there are a lot of different types of pro skiers. It all comes down to if they make enough money skiing that they don't do anything else. Now, im not one to speak for max, but im pretty sure he's be doing that for year. You don't need to make a ton of money and win contests to be pro.

Nicky "Meat" Keefer is a pro at many things, such a wooing the ladies, drinking and skiing, so in this regard yes. But I'm sure there are many aspects of life which allude the man, the legend, the keefbox that will keep him from ever truly being pro.

Not the same at all, producing a pro model skate deck, shoe or wheel is way cheaper than a pro model boot, ski or jacket. Not all "pros" in skiing have promodel shit for this exact reason.

a pro model sometimes requires nothing besides having your name associated with a given ski.

Okay ptroy, whoever the fuck you are(sick alias bro), there is so much more than associating a person with a ski. You can't just take the armada ar7 and turn it into the armada gus kenworthy pro model, when you make a pro model ski/boot/clothing, it like creating a whole new product.

The way I have been defining "pro" is making enough money to live off of threw skiing. So NO you don't need a pro model ski to be a pro thats just fucking dumb.

It goes

Just getting a pair of skis = Flow threw sponsor (local kid)
Travel budget/small retainer under $8,000 = Semi Pro (?)
Anything over $8,000 = Pro (?)
Over $25,000 = Super Pro (?)
Over $100,000 = Mega pro (Tom)

I use the 8,000 mark because that's what you can barely live on for a year.

Good correction.  Maybe you should work on correcting your calculations of your books since the vast majority of your shit has been disproved, ya dick.

Henrik falls underneath the category of AM on armada's website, which proves an excellent point. There are many different types of pro's. If you are sponsored skier and all you do is ski your "pro". Follow up- when you do cork fives as clean as meat, your pro.

exception: that wanky dumont pro shit with the crown that was exactly the suspect but had twin edge holding super weave for maximum awesome suspect-like durability, and cost ~$250 more. but its the dumont so i guess anything goes

also, first reply to an eheath comment, so pumped. your edits are sexual

I don't like how you're representing the name "Troy". I'm quite a fan of Evan Heath and his work. Change your name.
