Remember when Seth Morrison first came onto the scene? He blew our minds. People just weren’t going that big and doing tricks in the backcountry yet. On top of that, he was sticking these huge tricks or coming as close to sticking them as you can on skinny skis.
His crazy agro style, his pink hair, his eyebrow ring, all this was new for themainstreamm. Seth changed the game and is still pushing it hard.
Remember his 160-foot double backflip to broken ribs? Who does that? Seth Morrison. Seth Morrison does that.
Oh, and he’s been in a few ski movies and gotten a few awards:

Slide at 4:33 is terrifying.
came on the scene in 2000?
Really?so Pura Vida,Sick Sense,Global Storming (off the top of my head,I’m sure there’s some earlier stuff too) don’t make the “scene”?
If you haven’t seen it Sick Sense is one of the best ski movies ever shot.
Now get offa my lawn you damn kids.
This might be just me but Im pretty sure that he was on everyones map before Ski movie… I remember wanting to ski like him watching “Sick Sense”….
Pretty much invented hucking and throwing massive backcountry tricks.
Next to Shane (RIP) seth is prob the most progress and top tier skier of the past 20 years, pushes limits no one else even dreamed out and doing things that have never been done before
Seth Mo is da man.
