Dane Tudor: First and foremost, the mountain and the community make Rossland and RED home to me.
Ive been riding here ever since I could walk.
I would be up here every day skiing.
It’s been an awesome place to grow up.
Yeah, that’s a really funny question.
I grew up ski racing with Red Mountain Racers.
Thats what enabled me to start riding big mountain.
So I was always up on the mountain just throwing backflips and Lincoln loops and stuff like that.
Pretty much most of the time crashing as you do as a young kid.
My account’s still there, so you might dig it up.
See all the funny stuff.
That just really upped the park game for me.
I think that shows in my riding and film projects.
You’ve had some pretty legendary segments over the years.
Is there a segment in particular that you’re most proud of?
Otherwise people really remember me forEvery Day Is A Saturday.
Also my X Games Real Ski segment in 2014 was a big moment for me.
And then like some of my AK segments with TGR.
Growing up, Sammy was a huge inspiration of mine and I loved watching him ski.
That was so badass.
You also did the first switch triple in a public park right?
I had put together pretty much a whole park video with Craig Lamond.
But that was super cool, people were really fired up.
How did you end up filming with Poor Boyz?
So, when I started skiing professionally in 2007-2008.
It was a good fit for me because I grew up watching Poor Boyz.
It was a dream come true for me.
And what happened when things wound down with Poor Boyz, where did you go to next?
So that was really what made the switch for me.
I’ve been working with Pangea Creatives, a couple of young guys in the States running an agency.
Im really excited to see where it goes.
So a big shout out to them and thank you!.
Also, to Salomon and Scott Sports thanks for the support over the years.
Being involved with the brands and the creation of the products was always super cool.
And yeah, big shout out to Nivis for bringing me on this year and Pangea Creatives.
I’m very much attracted to big mountain lines and step down jumps and all that kind of stuff.
So I’ll still continue to do that.
It’s not always about the gnarliest tricks and biggest lines.
It’s also just about creativity and the Art of Glide, you know.
It’s all about sliding out there!
