    Who is this guy? Is it Will Burks? (The Prophecy)

    TGR "The Prophecy", timecode kinda 00:05:20, after Micah looks down to the giant steeps and the background voice asks "Are you fuckin ready?!", then fast cuts, and then some guy in blue jacket flys GIANT air over the snowboarder... FKNA!!!

    Here is the 800K XVID piece of video in case if you didn't understand what am I talkin about:

    oh shit here comes the ground!

    Don't know, but i had the same question when i saw it. he does a nice job of staying tucked even when you can tell he's wondering when the hell am i ever going to land. he had enough time to do a mid air prayer.

    I thought that was Treadway.
    Very characteristic take-off and form throughout the air...

    That's right, spancers only slide one jacket to each star to wear each season. Don't know about the Atomic thing, but this happened a few years ago and his status in the industry is quite different now so maybe he was skiing something else then. They might even have been some older K2s, but like I said it was a long time ago.

    I suppose I could be wrong, but Greener was there (met him in the bar), he was introduced to me by one of the film crew as the man who did the deed, so it's a little more than gossip I base the assertion on. I do not think Burkes was there on that trip. Whateva, tho.

    ... ya, I was thinking that too but couldn't remember what year for sure he left the mother ship - atomics sounded good when I was typing though to further my case, but since the old, wise, creeky Str8 stepped in to settle the argument all is mute now isn't it

    ... thanx Str8 ya old fart; don't you have some turkey to go eat and a lazy boy to fall asleep in?

    No problems here. That said, I've gotten bad cds before. One was an OS cd-rom that seriously fucked my machine halfway through the install.

    As for the skier, I think it was Rick Burks.
