Dumont cup weekend maybe 3 years ago before I was into park. I was night skiing and I remember seeing about 60 kids wearing tall t's and shit flying by while I was on the side of a trail, I assume it was several pros with lots of kids following them around


thats probably the closest I've gotten.

but I'll play along :
copy/paste from a similar thread

Henrik
he's just so stoked on anything

He was at the water ramps this summer and he'd be stoked on anything any kid threw , wether it be a sketchy 3 or a crazy double he would cheer just as hard , he sat on the tables and watched for about 2hours people throwing down with nothing but a smile on his face almost everyday.|

really showed me how he likes his sport

I've met Bobby Brown (and his god-like face), Gus Kenworthy, most of the Stept crew, Shane Mcconkey's wifey, Julia Mancuso and Darren Ralhves.....I think that's. Anyone else get crazy star struck? I feel like if I met a Hollywood star I would be less awkward than when I meet pros. When meeting BB I couldn't put together words for a good 2min....it was bad.

Phil Casabon and Paul Bergeron on the Inspired Tour. They were both really nice. It was late into the tour so I'm sure they were tired of all these annoying kids swarming them but they were really nice to everyone.

I skied with bpaul and his early crew at Le Relais. Nice guy, I share a few contests with Emile too.
I rode with Dom Legare, and I chat a lot with his dad back in Quebec City. I got introduced to Phil Belanger, Larose and Dion. great people!
I competed against Alexandre Bilodeau in several contests (he won)
I even got to meet Doug Bishop!

met a bunch... doesn't matter......

but I do want to say that CR Johnson was genuinely the nicest guy that i've met even in life in general. I had no idea who I was talking to that afternoon and he was so nice, let me drop in first, etc. Someone told me that afternoon who he was, and then 7Sunny came out later that year. Biggest inspiration in skiing hands down and when I say that it has literally nothing to do with "Inspired". He was an admirable guy, a true role model, and I wish more pros would act more respectably like he did. True legend.

During the Olympics in whistler I spent a week skiing with Mike Douglas. He showed a friend and me around the mountain, showing us where all the best cliffs to huck were. He was one of the coolest people I have ever met. Easily some of the best skiing I've ever had the opportunity to do.

I saw Andy Parry and Ian compton at Hunter in NY. Didn't ski with them cause I'm not good at all, so I wouldn't have been worth their time... but they were cool. had a conversation with me

Got to ski two days with the inspired crew. All were super nice, chill, and more than willing to offer up tips on how to improve my skiing.
