Who is Tom Wallisch? Searchbar, noob...



Or pickup a copy of The Wallisch Project in iTunes today -- https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/the-wallisch-project/id679550099

Click for larger image

Here's how this Q&A works:

1) You post your questions in here
2) You upvote questions you like
3) I choose ten questions, and send them to Tom Wallisch and Kyle Decker
4) They choose a few more and post the Q&A in the news section
5) You guys post more questions in the comment section -- they answer them if they want!

An example of the last one with Jason Levinthal - http://bit.ly/17dn3Zk



PS. I heard Tom might have a pair of Scott Goggles for the member with the best question...

What does it feel like - should you even notice it - knowing your name is the definition of perfection and style? Like, the feeling of knowing you're probably one of the best and most looked-up person in the skiing world, walking into a park and have guaranted people will watch you in awe?

With freeskiing's inclusion to the winter Olympics, and therefore the increased importance of the competition season, do you see personal projects such as yours being viable in future?

What has been your favorite shoot/movie to be a part of? How does filming for a full scale movie compare to a singular project like TWP?

How do you feel about being sponsored by a company who people say aren't supportive of freeskiing and got in the freeskiing industry just for the money? (north face)

If Sochi turns into a giant huckfest are you planning on joining in or having a run more based on style and creativity?

Have the coming Olympics dramatically changed your usual routine wether it be training or competing etc. and do you feel any more pressure from your sponsors to do well?

Does it get old when you're the spotlight on the hill? I noticed at mammoth when you hit anything everybody would stare.

What are your plans for the coming winter?

There were maybe 2 clips of bails. How many times do you actually take a slam before you get the shot? for example the last clip in the film.

Favourite moment in your ski career? Or for more structure:
Favourite place to shred
Favourite place you've ever skied at

Also, who did you look up to when you were getting started in the in the sport? I'd love to know who inspired the pretzel man to be the pretzel man.

@Tom. After completing TWP and producing what I regard as the best short ski film ever, are you looking at doing TWP 2.0 next season or returning to filming more with Level 1/Field/etc?

@Kyle. Same question as Tom's, but also curious to know if you are looking at doing a similar project with any other athletes if another one with Tom isn't feasible? Also I am a huge fan of your motion shots. Thank you for being so good at them.

How do you deal with cops? Any crazy stories about getting busted during filming this project or sometime during your career?

How do you balance skiing and college? Does it ever get really hard to do both at one time in the winter with comp season and all?

when you're all done with skiing, what do you plan to do with your degree? Are you looking forward to what the future holds?

not complaining but def skipped some good questions and most of the answers were pretty short and uninspired. def doesnt matter but you'd think if you bothered to do this your answers should be a little better

just some constructive criticism. def good stuff, keep it up everyone

How do you feel about the other short segments coming out from other athletes? Do you like the new solo project trend?

Fuck snowboardmag. I'm sure no snowboarder has EVER hit a spot that was first hit by skiers.

Seeing as you film with a lot of different companies (4bi9, level 1, so on), which one do you like the best. From my perspective it seems like 4bi9 is the most fun because of all the people in it.
