It’s interesting to hear what people think about Sean Pettit.
“Young punk”
“needs to work on his big mountain style”
“just hits jumps all day”
All I see is the most entertaining skier in the movies for the past 4 years. Heck, the kid is only 20.
If you owned a ski movie company, you’d be clawing at this kid’s door. Get this kid to convoluted terrain and semi-soft snow, and you’ll have at least 20 minutes of good footage for your movie every year. Hell, you can even book the extra heli time and just film the guy from the heli the whole time and it’ll still pay off (as it did in the above video).
Just think of the future when Sean has his own lifetime movie like Shane and Seth. Think of all the footage from all his film days compiled into one 40 minute movie. You’d leave jaw-dropped, drooling, and likely not wanting to ever be seen skiing anymore (rainy days are good for this).
Every time I watch his segments, I wonder what’s wrong with me. It’s cliché to say, but Sean really does make it all look so easy. This kid is truly is $$$$(see accolades below).
