I wouldn't say he was out of the spotlight, but he was never really talked about as much as he should have.

His pop yer bottlez segment was unreal as well. Stoked to see him continue to produce as he ages. Style was ahead of its time back when

I got the chance to ski with him for a day in Telluride a couple years ago. Watching him just cruise around the resort was amazing. He's so smooth, it almost didn't look real.

Definitely one of my favourite skiers to watch. Every part I see, his flow blows my mind. I wish the industry had done better by him.

It's a darn shame most kids today don't know who he is. They probably just see his segments in the Level 1 movies and go "ew, he has poles and doesnt ski urban to Rich Homie Quan? Skip"

TRains absolutely slays, non stop. I would like to see him really blow up, perhaps with a bit different audience in the MSP movies, he would do well with TGR in coming years too if he gets a chance.

He has more than the talent and the capability to be a Sage like big character in skiing.

I would say he has already blown up, he was a big name especially in filming but also in the contest scene back in the day, Seems he's taken it a little easy as of late.

no one makes millions... just being involved in the scene for as long as he has is big things, he will never be out of the spotlight because he can actually ski, and by that I mean he can shred the shit out of a pair of skis.

He's got great style, but his parts lack memorable bangers. I could be wrong though. I respect his career path and longevity.

His banger is making me want to sell my soul to be able to ski like him. I'd take that style over any banger in the game.

His Turbo segment is an all-time great segment. Better give it a re-watch and consider what other people were or weren't doing at the time. He was on another level back then and his style is comparable to Mickael except on gnarlier features. Very few skiers can touch his switch skills, aside from maybe Pollard. I'm so damn stoked to see his shots from this year!

Growing up I always thought he was sick, but he didn't lay down the "bangers" or doubles and shit. Watching old movies now it's just watching shit like his opp mute cork 3s and being like "how the fuck did he just land that?".
