Replying to The early days of skiing.
okay i posted this shit in another post, but i wanted everyone to get in on this one. so here goes.
i started skiing in 91, and i rollerbladed the whole time, so skiing for me has always been what you mothas call 'newschool'. i never saw it anyother way.
i used to ditch my poles to do 'japan' grabs, but we called them 'stale' grabs. along with mutes and parralells. we did saftey and lui kang in the begining too.
in 96 i ran into some other kids from a niehboring resort who called themselves the 'cascade posse'. these kids also rolled and did grabs on skis.
soon we began skiing and later renamed the group as the 'midwest allstars' because we began to branch out to all midwest resorts.
our crew was into grabbing and all that shit since the begining, we began to get silly about the same time as the 'new canadian air force' but without the press and connections.
this crew included, Myself(dirty), Ryan Schmies(creator of the public enemy graphic), Alex Applegate, Nate Hammersley, Eric Kohl, Andy Harris, Paul Slavik, and a a bunch of others.
this crew is undoubtedly some of the original inovators in skiing... whether you chose to agree or not, just as jp or other ncaf members what they think. these kids in the crew have tought tricks to some of the biggest names in the sport.
alex applegate is the first kid to really begin to through dspin and cork 7s.
just pick up a copy of an old cascade posse video(yellow school bus, the revolution will not be televised) and see the kids in action way back when, also check out Freedom Productions, 'Declaration' and 'Homegrown' to see the madness unleashed by this crew.
