Was luckily enough to ski with a bunch of pros this past winter at perisher. Luca Tribondeua is probably the nicest guy you will ever meet. Joss was super humble, Tom is Tom, Russ was super gracious

enough of this thread, it's been created too much and gets really circlejerky.

that said, i will contribute to the circlejerk and agree with the guy up there. Nicky K is a stand up fella.

I feel like meeting Wesson could be a great experience. He is so modest for how good he is.

I've met bdog, dollo, and LJ.

When I met bdog and dollo it was at the inspired movie tour. It was cool because it was like a meet and greet type thing. We had a pretty awesome conversation and both of them were genuinely nice guys.

I met LJ at rails to riches. I didn't really get to say much more than "congrats dude. You killed it" and we took a picture. He was awesome tho. He could have disregarded what I said( it was pretty crowded and there was a lot going on) but he actually took the time to take a picture and stuff. I think he's pretty awesome for doing that. I'm pretty happy for not having a bad experience meeting pros.

Mike Hornbeck is the realest dude you can meet. Super self made man, and is ultra cool. He's brought it back to his hometown this year, and I see him out riding all the time. He's always down to ride the chairlift with younger kids and just talk with them, gotta love a guy with class.

He's really cool. Talked to him for a few minutes in the park at spirit and then rode up the lift with cole.

Phil amd henrik are stoked on anything 10/10 would meet again.

Sooo tru. I mentioned that I was heading out to Italy in a few years to ski a bit and visit my family over there. Henrik was really stoked talking about Italy and it got me mad excited to be able to go out there!

It's so weird to think about looking back. Anyone could have told me the info Henrik did on Italy but the fact that he was talking to me and telling me about it was so rad. It's such a small thing but it has stuck with me.

Andy Parry is super cool, one time I was walking in the timberline parking lot and I heard someone yell out "Traveling Circus yeah!" and it ended up being Andy in his car yelling at me cause he saw my TC sticker on my helmet. I went and talked to him for a bit and he gave me a jiberish beanie. I've only had good experiences when meeting anybody from the TC crew.

Mike Hornbeck is one of the nicest pros i have met. Always down to ride with the groms and talk with them. Tries to keep the stoke alive. Even when he is out filming he is always down to give someone advice on their tricks, or just talk. Super down to earth, loves skiing and loves people.

If there isn't anger and drama within a newschoolers thread, is it really a newschoolers thread...?

I've met a lot of pros, and I'm yet to meet one who wasn't nice. Although he's retiring and hasn't skied competitively for a while Chug was the friendliest I've met.

Only pro I've met was at Mount Snow, VT when I was in 9th grade. I was mind blown when he stood next to me in the lift line but kept it casual when I said hi.

I cared way to much back then but it's funny to look back on thinking how nervous I was to say something to him hahaha

Kinda agree, but I too will contribute to the circle jerk.

Never met em, but Garret Russell seems like one of the most laid back, interesting dudes in the game. The guy just emanates positive vibes and you can see it in his style/edits.

Met JP, Sean and Callum Pettit at IF3 last year. Sean and Callum were both smashed but chill nonetheless. JP was by far one of the most genuinely interesting and humble people I have ever met. I ran into him on the street outside the theatre and he stopped and talked to me for twenty minutes. In that short meeting, he changed my perspective on skiing and on being the kind of person I wanted to be. SIP JP, thanks for everything.
