    We were talking about it in the general chat thread, have to check out 'Into the Mind' but saw him in 'All.I.Can' and his street segment is such a highlight. Terrible news.

    Missed that.

    Has a street segment in both. Check out the sherpa cinemas YouTube page.

    J.P is an original member of the "New Canadian Air Force" with Mike Douglas, JF Cousins & Vincent Dorian.

    They were the first guys to cut half pipes, they invented the twin tip skis via the 1080.

    A huge loss to skiing Liz Daely, the us snowboarder and mountaineer was killed the same day in South America too

    These two pieces of JP in the sherpa cinemas made films are incredible. Love them both.

    A lot of it is covered in other articles but this was a good read. Didn't hear about the other skiers in the news:
