Searchbarred his name and didn't find any threads. But damn was thinking about this edit today and gave it a watch, so sick. Add him to the list of skiers hitting tricks and style that were before their time. This seg came out in 2004.

well the gangster thing had been fully in swing for a while in 2004, but heed was super notable because he was way ahead of his time with spins, swaps, pretzels and shit with good style. literally like the year before just a 270 on was a banger, only tanner and a few other people even had 270 ins in their 2003 segments

Travis Heed is literally patient zero for rail steeze. Him and Tanner Hall basically set the style for the thug era of skiing. Its kind of crazy he just dropped off. There are some old "What happened to Travis" threads.

Didn't he piss a bunch of people off and that was the reason that he pretty much dropped off the face of the planet?

I think it was something like that. He got called out for only doing basic rails with the same style and he just kind of dipped out of the game. Its funny to think he is out there right now probably working in an office or something.

nothing really happened that i'm aware of, he is just a guy who was sick at skiing and had a banger segment but wasn't interested in being super ambitious about it or dealing with people analyzing him like a pro athlete, people loved to talk about how he only had one jump trick in his seg, blah blah blah, seemed like he was just over it. last i saw, people would see him around vermont here and there and he didn't have any interest in filming or whatever, doing the skier thing
