Faction Skis Athlete Tim McChesney came into ski gabber to answer some questions- here’s the highlights!
Scariest urban feature you’ve hit to date?
-Krotch
The scariest urban feature was a down flat closeout that I hit in Beggin' for change.
We joked about trying it for a couple nights and then ended up hitting it.
Favorite musician of all time?
-steezyjibber
Probably have to go with Ja Rule haha
Where did you have your favourite kebaaab?
If so how often?
-ScottB
All the time.
Urban can be the most frustrating thing in the world.
So many factors have to line up to get a shot.
A lot can go wrong and you definitely leave features without getting the shot you want very frequently.
What are your plans for this season regarding to the faction collective film shoots?
-thenoseface
We got big plans for this years Faction webisodes.
You’re not only skilled at rails but an insane jump skier as well.
Would you ever compete Slopestyle?
I really enjoy exploring new places and filming gives me that option.

Who is your favorite big-mountain skier?
(Beside the possibility of Candide) -thenoseface
T hall and Pep.
They both ski some really impressive lines
What is the story behind your nickname?
I really have no idea.
How hard is it to keep a positive attitude while hitting an insanely hard urban?
(like 50 tries+) -filipoio
Definitely a little frustrating.
It’s pretty easy to get mad and break a couple poles throughout the season.
What do you do in the offseason?
-PULL
This summer I did a ton of surfing in the offseason.
That and fly fishing.
