I just want to go ahead and vote Henrik for president.
Sure, he slayed it at X and took the big air Gold with a damn progressive trick. Fantastic. Lots of guys have done that in the past.
However, Henrik hasn't been at Breck since it opened training every day with the top elite... working with his personal trainer and trying to get his winning attitude on.... no...
Henrik has been skiing at the most fucked up shitty hills in the universe with B-dog and B-paul. Hills like the ones I grew up at - hills where the real skiers are. The ones of us on the east or in the midwest that don't have 12" of fresh powder to get us up in the morning, the ones of us who are truly the 'core' of the sport. The ones who have to love skiing so much just to go out and have a good time on 200' of vertical.
Henrik has been travelling around with the Inspired crew in a van, riding with all the rad people out there - probably many of you from Newschoolers.
I have the deepest respect for the Inspired crew and what they are doing here. I mean look at this stuff -

So again - Mr. Harlaut, I salute you sir. Well played.
