Discussion with pro skier, X Games gold medalist and olympic medalist, Luca Harrington
Luca is a pro skier, X games gold medalist, Olympic medalist and currently one of the most dominant comp skier in the world. In this episode we talked about Luca’s upbringing in New Zealand and how he got into skiing. We talked about his inspiration from past legends from New Zealand and what’s in the water over there that creates so many pro skiers. We went deep into his meteoric rise within the competition scene in the past 2 years. Where back to back world cup wins in Kreischberg and Klagenfurt started a run of 8 world cups podiums, 4 x games medals, 1 crystal globe and 1 olympic medal. We talked about the intricacies of slopestyle and big air comp skiing as well as the judging behind all of it. We also talked about this season’s Milano Cortina Olympics and the accomplishment and disappointment that came with it for him.
We also went into many other subjects including but not limited to bringbacks, cindy grabs, esco grabs, being a x games alternate, having your brother as a fellow pro skier, having a US citizenship, choosing to focus on slopestyle and big air despite promising results in halfpipe and much much more.
