    Kooley…tsk, tsk. How can he claim alaska when he completely forgot his roots? I Remember him hiking Tincan at Turnagain pass to build a jump. When was the last time he did that? People 1 in the bonus? Kooley, Quit being lazy and whining about how cold you are, put on something besides jeans and go hit a fucking jump again. 2 years with no jumps? Polejams don’t count. Maybe that’s why Lando made the top 10 and no rail only rider will ever.
