Kent Kreitler is a bad ass that everyone should know about. On 'Sponsored' he tells his story and on 'Inappropriate Questions' Kent answers the best questions Michelle Parker could think of.

Enjoy!

It's Kreitler.......unless he spelled it wrong on his pro models and facebook page which could of happened. I'm sure he hit his head a lot.

One of the greats. His biopic is insane. Reverance is what I think it's called. The guy was a big mountain pioneer who did tricks off cliffs and kickers too. He was one of the first skiers in the park. I saw him ski a couple of times when I lived in Squaw, just ordinary days but when you see him destroy KT in bad conditions it will show you what great skiing is.

All the current pros owe some thanks to guys like Kreitler.
