Evan Raps was the first to bring "gangsta" style to skiing. He prioritized style and his D Spin brought him competition success. His career came to an unfortunate end after ruining his knee at X Games. Enjoy.
With Candide's return to the Horstman, this classic segment from PBP's 13 seems only fitting. This segment brought a whole new style and range of tricks to the sport, from McTwist's to Rodeo 720 mutes and Flat 3's. Enjoy.
Ryan's Segment from "The Life Gnarcotic"
To celebrate 10 years since Highland's first film, I came out of retirement last April and assembled some of the East Coast's top skiing talent. April Fools? Enjoy
Alexi was clearly born to ski. Here he is at age 13 owning everyone in Tremblant. This is Alexi's part from our first "film" "The Manifesto" (2004)... It's pretty ghetto since we didn't know how to film or edit but interesting to see the lad slay at such a young age. Enjoy.
A day and a half with a hung over and sleep deprived Mack Jones playing in the park.
(Segment from Spring Mixtape)
The Blackcomb Glacier has changed alot over the past decade. Before the days of endless parks filled with hundreds of campers, massive scientifically built jumps and handfuls of rails only a few lurked the Horseman's sunbeat ice. Here is the "New Canadian Air Forces" segment from MSP's 'Sick Sense'. By today's standards it's humorous, but back then it blew our minds. Vincent Dorion does possibly the first filmed grind and Cusson and Auclair 'tuck' cross and flip their way into the history books. Enjoy and remember if you step foot up there this summer to say thanks if you catch a rare glimpse of a NCAF member.
P.S Back then Hawaiian Shirts = Tall Tees

Chris Haffey has so many firsts in skating its crazy. Now he can add kangs and dub cork 12s to the list.
Skogen Sprang returns to skiing after almost losing his leg in a motorcycle accident. The first to throw rodeos both ways, Skogen came back charging in this segment.
Vinni does the first 900, switch 5's and 7's while Coach Cusson does his classic backflip Japan and signs his first pair of breasts. Enjoy
Seeing as I shot and edited this I thought I'd repost it under my account.
Found this edit on his Vimeo. Great mash up of footage from some of his classic segments (The Game, Happy Dayz, ect) Julian was a true innovator and an unsung pioneer of the sport. The only other person to throw a 360 mute at the 1998 Olympic Games, he went on to pioneer the early urban and park scene, later to focus on the back country.
Check it out. The C rail he does is death defying.
With the glacier coming to a close I thought it would be fitting to upload Vinnie's segment from PBP's 13. Vinnie lands the first double grab spins, contest 900's, and lands a 360 tail over a Japanese tour bus. Enjoy.
