Three freeskiers would be on the cover of a Wheaties box

Someone (and not just anyone) would land a cork 7 blunt onto a grass hill

There would be a big air event in Fenway Park with multiple dubs but the winning trick would be a 540

There would be a new website that would offer a variant of S.K.A.T.E. on snow that would be the main producer of ski content for free posting videos once a week for over a year

Nosebutter triples are possible

Doubles onto rails are possible

Skiing would be on Sportcenter

Ninthward would completely vanish and reappear out of nowhere

i don't remember when it happened but i think it was after 2010.... when someone hit the rail gardens rails uphill, bouncing from the bottom one to the top one, i was blown away

if you suggested that move to me before i watched that edit i wouldve laughed and told you youre an idiot with their head in the clouds

I was surprised because I was under the impression that Gus slayed. Going back and watching his old interviews and stuff, it is so obvious.

I think the majority of people were surprised. Maybe not people that were close to him or really were following everything but to most people it was a big surprise. I can't say I watched a lot of his interviews or anything but I was pretty fucking surprised.

Joss would go to the Olympics, and win.

I was a huge fan of his and felt he was in the top 5 of jump specialists. Back in 2010 I think he was still on Line and not getting any slope results outside the smaller events like Aspen open.
