For us that have been skiing since twintip, CRJ always inspired.  

Yes, it was CR who did it as far as I know, the first 1440 that is.
Way back, not many of you punks have been skiing that long, during the era of "The Game", "Propaganda" and "Ski movie", the early years of PoorBoyz and MSP a yung skier with a small afro came and clamed a piece of the skiing world, if I can say that. He landed some tricks before enoyne else and with good style to, so from that point on he was always one of the guys to watch when the new movies came out. Always big and "safe".
A trendsetter when it came to triks and style!

A good guy with a healthy veiew on life, a core skiier that represented what I like about our sport, a  guy that will be missed!!! I think people would say that it is unfair after his comback that nearly ended his career. 
I will try to bring his/our type of skiing out to the kids. You will live on.
