Super insightful interview with Mike. What do you guys think? His perspective on the industry is pretty rad.

He used to to a gym in Reno a few years ago with an Olympic tramp before it closed. He was fucking insane to watch.

Whatever happened to the footage of him overshooting Chads Gap on a dub 10? It's in PBPs Revolver trailer but it never made the movie and I haven't seen it anywhere else

wilsons one of the most underrated skiers out there, in my opinion. I would love to see more shots of him in the future.

So the video I was referring (Revolver trailer) to doesn't have his Chads Gap dub 10 overshoot, just a straight air/backflip thing thats in Durtschi's video blog... BUT that interview has a photo of the dub I'm referring to - why have we never seen the video of that dub 10 overshoot???

Kinda. A few double flips (risky flip, dub fronts & backs) were done before but his was definitely it's own unique rotation.

Great interview and stoked to hear he's gonna be skiing more again. I remember getting a Helly Hansen Video when I was like 7 that had Wilson in it and his part stuck out in my head for years as one of the craziest parts I have watched. Hes a maniac and its always fun to watch that haha

Gotta love not seeing the guy on skis in years and the first shot is him hitting a rail into a basejump and almost dieing, then tossing a gnarly misty off it!

not everyone's lucky enough to be part of skiing's master race like us. people who dont ride squaw probably havent seen him in anything for years besides a quick edit here and there

anyway, dude is a huge claimer but he is so freaking bananas it's okay. just insane

Dude claims cuz why the fuck wouldn't you with all the gnarly shit he does. I'm stoked to see Mike back on Line skis. I remember watching him in some old skiboarding movies, I can't remember if it was SB1, SB2, or SB3, but he was sick back then.
