Mikey: To start off, could you give us some background?
How do you guys know each other, where are ya from…?
He moved from Vermont and I moved from Colorado Springs.
Mikey: Whats up with BadMeetsEvil?
Where are you guys going to take this next season?
The best part about it is we help edit film and pick all the music.
Most edits will also have tracks from the BadMeetsEvil albums.
Next season we plan on doing less park edits and take it more into the streets and backcountry.
We just want to keep releasing content that people haven’t seen us do before.
Also some friends will be joining us for sure.
Hard to say where BadMeetsEvil will go next season but we definitely have some large plans brewing.
I guess you’ll have to wait and see!
RMU has really kept it like a small family.
Yea, RMU hooked me up with some old skis and told me to kinda prove myself.
Ethan and I then went out and filmed the first BadMeetsEvil.
After that, I went to VT for the Carinthia Cup and won that.
I literally skied on old warranty skis until I was able to put up results.
The Rippah lets you ski the whole mountain instead of just the park.
I’m going to ski the Rippah every damn day next season.
Ethan: A lot of talking and planning over a month or two.
But coming up with the dimensions was tough.
Ethan and I really wanted to have a ski that would do it all.
(Even though it’s 98).
Mikey: How was the testing process ?
Ethan: Well I was able to get the A-Basin late season, Ben took a pair to Mt.
Hood, and we just skied on them as hard we could.
But after the first few turns I knew that it was exactly what we had in mind.
It was really sick on jumps easy to carve and stomp in slush.
And on rails it felt like it had zero swing weight.
Mikey: Why would you choose the Rippah… and what does the name mean?
Ethan: Haha just felt right I guess.
Who wouldn’t want to ski on a ski named the Rippah?
Behind every name is a story…
I brought two cases of Monster Rippers.
Must have drank 7-8 Rippers on the way out and at least 3 the next day.
I was staying with Ethan and Keegan Kilbride.
Keegan is from Maine so he started saying rippah instead of ripper.
Then we started calling everything rippahs.
Mikey: If I get a pair is there anything else I should know?
Also it may or may not make you the best skier on the mountain!
Ben: If you get a pair, enjoy, and f’n rip it.
