Replying to Pros impact on fans

over the course of the past few years I have met a pretty good amount of professional skiers. a lot of pros skiers realize how big of an impact they have on their fans. A lot dont really get it though. Certain pros that I previously looked up to and admired I now don't really care for. That is based simply upon times that I have met them. For example one certain pro that I loved was at park City during a day that I was. I skied up to him and just told him how much I loved all of their videos and he just brushed me off and didn't even give me a thanks. I'm not crying about it but I just think that some pros don't realize how big of an impact they can have on their fans. I have also had pros go out of their way to be kind and just be extremely friendly to Thierry fans. I just wanted to mention that all pros have an impact no matter what they think every confrontation with a fan is important.
