Sure. The bottom line is that I want Compton to do this, and it would be cool.

Hey Mr. Bishop, your one great dude.

Right now I am looking out my window to a foggy morning. The chickens in the fog look like dinosaurs, this is my TV.

As people ski all summer, I push the pause switch and hang out with my dog in the woods. I have started a little apple farm also...
'Narnia Wild Apples" NWA

The winter is creeping in and my brain is scheming. I am building a yurt near Mount Snow and skiing there all winter. I mostly want to create my own features with my handy chainsaw though.

RTC was a grand time, I am curious to how it will be portrayed but I think it will spice up the ski community a little bit.

For the kids that see this, do something different today. Go against the grain of your normal routine. Once your able to do this more often then you can incorporate it into your skiing/edits. Never look at something and say its bad, there's a million different lives out there don't be the asshole who judges things.
Just Ski.

Buy Legos and make it a point to take your breaks. Don't watch videos online. Play with your legos. Go for a walk. Get away from your computer.

It was cold buddy...A few times it got stuck but I think I am gonna get a winch so I don't have to worry about that.

Get a space heater if you live in the East Coast. They have super safe propane ones now, I am going to invest. And don't cheap on on wintah tires bud. Good luck to ya!

What was your inspiration to do the whole farm thing and go organic and stuff. I work on a small local organic farm in Keene New Hampshire and it is pretty cool to see and learn about how a farm like that works.

Where did you learn your techniques of farming if you have any that is?

The yurt thing is new, what was the basis behind that?

I was lucky enough to have my sister be real into what she eats. She started talking to me about it 3 years ago and now I cringe at some shit I used to eat. YOur body performs so much better when it has proper fuel, you are what you eat. As for farming it's one of the most primal and real things you can do.

Plus if shit ever hits the fan would you rather be a farmer or a salesmen? Keep getting your hands dirty man! Its the most rewarding thing one can do. Say what up to Keene for me to!

It was an awesome skiing for Line, they helped me so so much. Now I have the freedom to do what I want and be a part of a new team with people I really trust. Only issue is that kids are crazy and won't let it down!

I feel like when NIG was in its heyday you were focused on technical, spin in/out, pretzel tricks, what happened where your skiing changed so much? Was there a person, an experience, a fucking album, whatever that made you think about what kind of skiing you not only want to do, but what kind of skiing you want to present to others?

Or did you just realize that spinning like a top on and off of rails is lame and looks like figure skating? Or are you just washed up so backslides are what ya got?
