That’s so cool. I think what really got me into it was watching my first Line TC video at like 10 years old as I was searching “cool ski videos” on google and YouTube

shoutout to those guys, they ultimately changed my life.

for me, it was being 12 and freshly-relocated to utah with my fam. Was at a really mormon school in the valley, never really fit in, and would just rush home to watch ski vids and edits. Watched all the 4BI9 edits on repeat and thought how cool it was these dudes were here skiing and doing that....Eventually joined a freestyle team in Jr. High school and ended up having some of those dudes be my coaches. Weird how that works lol.

I had dialup so I think I was already pretty into skiing before i saw many videos. Just watching people in person was enough for me.

CR, Pep and Seth in Focused sold me on what we do.

Awesome that you can pinpoint it to a particular crew or video.
