The general GOAT conversation has been had many a times. But who is the GOAT of the streets? Is it B-dog for bending the laws of physics all these years or maybe it's LJ who has been defying human anatomy and aging by hitting the send button so hard for so long. Who do you guys think it is?

All the people I was gonna say have been mentioned, but Dickie Styza (current owner of ninthward) is a living legend at this point, at least in Salt Lake. He has hit some of the craziest shit anyone has ever tried to hit in SLC but he doesn’t really film it or if he does he never releases it. Just does insane shit because he likes to scare himself. Whenever he feels like putting out a video it’s gonna be 12 minutes of ridiculous shit over the span of like 7 years, no exaggeration.

Obie.That’s tight you know him personally


Yeah, I don't know him personally but the number of interviews and movies with the same dramatic story of how he lives in places that doesn't snow and while getting paid to ski gets a lil too much and it comes off as smug in my opinion. I think he's a great skier but the same self-loving narrative gets bland.

Your opinion went out the window in that first sentence. He’s a filmmaker dude. It’s a narrative he wanted to pursue seeing as it hadn’t yet been done in depth docu-style. Thinking he’s pretentious because of it is completely on you.

As you can re-read that first sentence, I said "number of interviews and movies." I think you're right about that stept docu movie he did a few years back. However, as I said in the last post it's the continued use of backstory and dramatization of everything about urban skiing and his snowless places of living.

Ninthward still exists?

I'm being serious and not trying to be a dick. They had dope skis back in the day but I thought they went bankrupt and the company just went bye bye.

Last time I checked, illicit drugs still had street value so they'll never go out of business.
