Riding jumps on a mountain bike. The ski park has jumps, so I had to hit those too. Naturally started to hit the other stuff in the park as time went on.

When I started skiing max hill was skiing the same small east coast hill I was. Watching him in the park blew my mind I can vividly remember a perfect spring day watching him do the biggest cork 5 transfers and just wanting to watch him ski not even caring about doing laps myself. Started spending some time in the park and was absolutely blessed to see a bunch of guys killing it in the park any given day like cole drexler, Matt brindisi, a young jarrad mccarl and young Matt Wilcox. Max hill is still to this day one of my favourite skiiers and it blows my mind he used to hop on a 2 man chair with a pre teen kid who could barely ski like me and shoot the shit the whole way up. Genuinely such a nice guy stoked to see he started a coaching program with Corey vanular but kinda jealous of the kids that have them as coaches.

First time I saw The Playground. It was 1999 and Le Relais has a pro park (even featured in freeze) and the 3 phils, MA Belliveau and the kids in the acrobatic team blew my mind. At the same time, I was inspired because it looked like they were having so much fun.
Next was Tanner Hall in ski movie 3. Unreal how smooth everything was. From then, I was addicted to skiing all together.

Grew up watching x-games and going alpine skiing on holidays. Then had the opportunity to ride it in school with lessons for a year. (Boarding school) Hooked on the first lap fr.

Definitely seeing someone hit a blunt 5 right in front of me. I went off the jump right on his ass by accident and was literally shook. I knew that had to be me, at some point in my life, at any cost. He was weightless, free, floating like a swagged out butterfly. Luckily he was cool about it when I apologized for tailing him so hard 😂
