Mike Nick is one of those guys we think every skier needs to be familiar with. If we were to invent an official barometer for “newbness,” it’d start with a compulsory list of 3 major Mike Nick contributions to our sport. The man has been one of the most influential skiers for well over a decade, and on a personal note, my life as a skier would not be the same if it weren’t for SB1, Mike Nick Pro Model Skiboards (I skiboarded for 1 season), Stereotype, Line Skis, and Siver Cartel.
This past summer we caught up with the “King of the Kang” to discuss the past and future of filming, fashion, skiing, skiboarding, and the Orage Masters. Those of you who’ve been around awhile can enjoy the nostalgia, and you younger dudes who were born into a pre-existing freeski culture, please take a second to learn where it all came from.
