FWT: We heard that Matchstick signed you to a three-year deal.

It went well and they invited me back to do a park shoot.

I have a couple of good shots in their movie and it looks like they are happy too.

So hopefully I?ll be sticking around for awhile but I haven?t signed anything with MSP.

FWT: How do you describe your riding style?

Permin: Maybe two words: new school!

FWT: You’re getting compared to Candide Thovex a lot lately.

What do you think are the similarities and differences?

Permin: Candide is a legend and we both come from freestyle backgrounds.

But Candide is an icon in the ski industry and I have tons of respect for him.

Candide and Rich’ discussing lines

FWT: How will you be approaching the FWT11?

Permin: I?ve learned a lot and progressed a lot since I began competing on the FWT.

FWT: What videos can we see you in this year?

They are both different and both are really good.

FWT: What’s next for you?

And I also want to say a big thanks to the FWT crew.
