I miss this guy in the ski industry. He was always throwing down. Super genuine guy when I met him on the chair at Breck.

Hes a fucking awesome guy and he promotes the idea that tough love is not a good thing. Every time i hear a person say the word “enabler” i want to fucking smack them.

It was a shame he didnt make sochi and its a shame he got cancelled for telling the truth about the kenworthy shit. I am happy for kenworthy but you have to be an asshole to assume that he didnt steal some of the spotlight from other skiers like schlopy.

Zurgyeah im curious

Iirc i think he said alot of the US pro skiers felt like kenworthy stole the spotlight away from other skiers and majorly cashed in when he came out.



i think kenworthy probably has enough money to retire by now from all the sponsorships/media attention he got. Meanwhile joss Christiansen probably earned less than 5% of what kenworthy earned, even though joss beat him in sochi.

He basically gave him shit when he came out, said that gus used coming out as a way to boost his own image and reputation. Which makes sense, but like he woulda got the same attention from coming out no matter how he did it. Especially being the first or one of the first skiiers to come out like that

I remember hearing some pros saying that Gus being gay was not a secret at all within the industry, and his coming out before the Olympics came off as a huge publicity thing. Maybe it was true, maybe it wasn't, i dont know.
