Its been a while since my last post.
I’ve met Andy a few times on LTC and have always enjoyed his honesty and candidness.
I hope you all enjoy this short read!
What have you been up to for the last few years in skiing and in life?
During the summers I have been doing random construction work when I can.
A question Ive asked you in person before, but I want to ask again.
How is life on the road during the LTC tour?
How did LTC all begin?
We went to Jason Leventhal the founder of Line and proposed a web series that turned into LTC.
YouTube was somewhat new at the time and Jason saw the opportunity in it.
He helped hook up our first trip to Mount Hood and we kinda took it from there.
Does the career aspect of skiing ever make skiing less fun for you?
Who influences your style of skiing?
Anyone that has a smooth style and looks like they can actually ski well.
Much of that influence doesn’t really translate into my skiing unfortunately.
He is still a top dog in the game, extremely respected and gives off such a humble vibe.
His skiing says everything.
Why wizard trick style?
(The world must know.)
If you’ve got the option to’t be good be different.
With all the stunts you guys pull on the LTC, how are injuries handled on the road?
Not much preventative maintenance is being done on the road.
Or well off the road for that matter.
Have you had any injuries skiing?
Was physical therapy ever utilized by yourself to rehab or prevent injury ?
I have done ACL and Achilles.
Both sucked but the Achilles sucked way more.
I did PT for both and my ACL PT was awesome.
Achilles wasn’t as good.
I was living over an hour away from my PT so I didn’t get to go as much.
I also had to get back to work so I didn’t have a chance to go hard.
Money is also a factor.
PT is expensive, surgery is more expensive and insurance sucks.
What is your fitness routine like before, during and after the LTC tour?
I also don’t really have a routine, or what to do.
Getting into PT or a personal trainer would be awesome but who has the money for that.
Thanks again Andy, one of the realest.
