Yeah, its the third year.
And its now called theNewschoolers Tell A Friend Tour Presented by Line Skis, says Andy Parry.
The concept of the tour is to actively engage skiers to go out and have fun.
And to give away free stuff, he adds.
Andy Parry:I think the real question is how many kids have I got to try hippy killers.
It’s maybe around 150.
Not many who try successfully kill the hippy.
Around one in 15 get it I’d say.
You started TAFT three years ago.
What’s the concept behind the tour?
Get kids stoked on skiing.
More or less a simple concept but I have a lot of reasons behind it.
Those will be discussed later so I can focus more attention on the points.
What’s different about the tour this year?
Not only are we doing the East Coast stuff but TAFT is also heading to the Midwest.
Maybe even some West Coast stops.
That and we are fully funded and backed by Newschoolers.com and Line Skis.
Why bother driving around to small ski resorts in the East and Midwest?
That question is exactly why.
Other than the Inspired Demo Tour a few years ago, these resorts are looked over.
They don’t have perfect 65-foot jumps to train on, so why would any real pro visit them?
Oh yeah, I know why.
Because it’s about the FANS and the kids who love skiing.
Which other skiers can tour attendees expect to see?
I want to involve more regional Line skiers into this year’s tour.
How comfortable is it to sleep in the Traveling Circus van for a month on the road?
At times I enjoy it, but when it’s leaking from rain or zero degrees out it sucks.
Everything gets wet and then freezes, and so do you.
What pet is bettercats or dogs?
I like both, but right now the dog has been a real pain in the ass.
