Has the quantity of content affected the quality?

Obviously our attention span is less than it used to be.

That way the movie would be presented in the light and the likeness that he intended it to be.

The Glen Plake Interview: Part 2 - Modern skiing, the Olympics and Instagram.

That kind of takes away from the months youve spent in the studio.

Did you see that?!

In a theatre-aspect, versus the phone or iPad or whatever.

I just think theres a longer-lasting effect on your brain.

From the Instagram standpoint, I think people actually sought out the film.

We didnt promote it and it didnt have a reputation, it earned a reputation.

I know that there are posters hanging on the wall, that I signed 20-years-ago.

Were going to have a really hard time finding an Instagram post from 20 MINUTES ago!

I yell at young athletes and I yell at marketing companies that focus so much on social media.

Im like: Great, but.

it’s crucial that you make it alive.

I think thats why Ive signed so many autographs, thats why I travel with hero cards or posters.

Do you watch any skiing these days?

What do you like to watch?

I love watching World Cup.

I think its fantastic.

I saw a film, about ten years ago and I saw it once.

I couldnt believe it and I asked and asked and asked, but I couldnt find a copy.

A friend of mine just emailed me a copy of it on Vimeo.

Its calledThe Ski Racer.

Holy cow, so crazy!

Literally, the beginning of Newschoolers, the stuff that was going on was crazy.

Talk about loose cannons, they were just doing stuff and nobody had a clue what was going on!

I love them all!!

Skiers are all amazing, still.

Whats your take on the X Games, Dew Tour and stuff?

Do you watch any competitions?

Im not saying anything against Simon, Im saying: there you go!

The only people that were critical of it, were the freakin judges.

Well F them anyways!

Who the hell are they?

So, I have to ask what you think about Freeskiing in the Olympics?

Again, more power to the athletes.

More power for them having an avenue to fulfill their dreams, I think its fantastic.

Thats awesome, but the idea of it being formatted like that doesnt make sense to me at all.

If its an avenue for the skiers, awesome, go for it, lets do it.

At the same time, fundamentally, it doesnt make sense to me.

Its kind of against everything that its supposed to be.

The fundamentals of it bother me, but the people doing it dont.

They have to have rules, I understand, go out and do your thing.

I wish I could say: Heres the roadmap to my career.

Live long and prosper!

Thats awesome and we could say the same thing about ski racing.

Somewhere, wed have to make a steep turn or two, but dont know where.

Trick:Ski moguls!

Thats the best trick it’s possible for you to do on skis!

Track:I dont ski to music, but my music collection is diverse and confused.

For the purpose of this answer, lets say:Dag Nastyand the track would beAll Ages Show
