Today’s contest venues are often just plain scary for the competitors.
Triple corks on 30 meter icy step downs aren’t always fun.
You won’t see any banners or a lane closure on the course.
We are here to celebrate an individual in the way that he would see fit.
Lets take it back to the good times of skiing, circa 1998.
It was the first time any skier hit a half pipe or quarter pipe with style.
Word travelled a bit slower back then.
JP went on to win that contest and he and I hit it off.
We went on to spend a good chunk of our adult lives traveling and shooting the world over.
We also started Armada together.
