Is it really a case of “Do future spins, get paid” ?
But how did it all begin for Vinny Cash
Tom: Can you remember your first experience skiing?
Was it your family who first took you and where did you go?
Tom: What were you like in school?
What were your favorite subjects?
Vinny: I was the same person, but a little dumber and shorter.
They found a way to do more with this winter tool, we call skis.
Was becoming a pro something you though about?
Vinny: It was always the only thing I wanted to do, ever since watching 13 in 1999.
It was exactly 10 years between Charles winning his first X-Games gold and Vinny winning his.
A decade may have past but some things look strangely similar.
Tom: When you were younger did you have to work to support your skiing?
If so what jobs did you do?
Vinny: No, I haven’t had a job yet.
I was an over stoked 10 year old.
Tom: Have you found that with success the way you plan your seasons has changed?
For example do contests dictate your travels plans more now?
Tom: Is there ever any pressure put on you to attend certain events over others?
Learning new tricks and surpassing your skills is pretty fun too.
Tom: What is the worst part about being a pro?
Vinny: Injuries…Its a dangerous sport, one bad judgment can affect the rest of your life.
I ended finishing second and at that time, it was probably the most insane Big Air contest ever.
Tom: If you were not a pro skier, what job do you think you would do?
Vinny: Anything that doesn’t involve talking on the phone or send emails allday everyday.
Tom: If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?
Vinny: You should have pussied out on the DFD rail in Grand Targhee in April 2014.
