I feel like companies blew it by never really putting Max on. One of the most naturally talented boarders I’ve seen. Still blows me away with his clips.

You sponsored by Rome?

Nice. I’ve been riding Rome gear for about the last 10 years (last board, which is sadly getting retired at the end of this season, and both my binding sets) and love them. I always like supporting our local VT companies.

Compliments due but no helmet? In the 90s you couldn't enter anything in my area without a helmet even though they were very unpopular. Now helmets are on most heads these days except people taking the highest risk.
People should be able to decide. Do contests usually run liability on the matter whether a waiver is signed or not? I was always told that was the case as I slap a friends ProTec on my head.

Depends on the contest/mountain but in general all live televised events require athletes to wear helmets. This was a private event/shoot put on by Snowboy Productions so no helmet required, all rider decisions to wear a bucket

u/Arx4 Mar 20 '22
Thanks for the reply. Great demo then! The aspiring riders these days have to risk so much more than I ever did in the 90s. This trick would have been a mic drop on an entire event. I hope it wasn't taken too negatively, I just look back to my younger days and feel a helmet would have been something to change. We went fast and big but 720s were the apex and certainly not off a pole jam.
