dwt802Honestly shocks me how out of all skiers hackel is one with cringy a tik-Tok.


meh, i have less interest than anyone in tik tok but i don't blame pros/ams for using that shit, unfortunately it's useful for them in most cases to get their name and face out there

I ain’t blaming him one bit because he’s prolly making money and getting tons of exposure, that’s not where I was going. More so because of how hackel used to ride for HG and those homies were so lowkey about everything they did. I feel like I woulda saw more traditional skiers comp/fame focused do it (ik they do) before hackel.

but yeah like I definitely don’t blame him tho given

Seems to mainly become useful to reach a community that would otherwise have know idea who they are especially among skiers that like the sport or only go 2-3 days a season. It’s also just handed to them with no searches making it very appealing. It’s unfortunate but I understand it like you said.

A. He’s still coming to Killington and giving out $1000. Name another skier anywhere who is doing that.

B. How do you think he convinced Killington marketing department to host this event? I can promise you it isn’t because of his ETG segment.

Today was all time. Got to meet some new people and progressed throughout the day. I’m sore as fuck but it was well worth it.

Easily one of the most memorable days on hill so far this year.
