Any Dude that land a Big Back then calls their mom is my kind of guy

@@judeberanek yeah
I'm headed there in 2 months and I'm super excited to avoid all these runs.
I’m gonna be there next week
👍👍👍 can't thumbs up this enough 👍👍👍
Very jealous lol I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to ski at all this season😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
my thoughts exactly.

Stoked to see Kai's segment having our song in it. We grew up watching Ski/Board/Skate flicks and that is how we found out about music in Alaska. Kai rips. Need to make some turns with him one day
I can’t wait for that day.
Yeehaw
Your song fits perfectly well the footage ! I just discovered a new artist, made my day :)
Hey Alaska gang
I still remember when you guys played at UCSD years ago. That was badass
Kai: "When I see the first snow I start watching skiing videos"
Me: " You don't do that all year?"
LOL! Watched every independent produced film in the last 30 years since last season ended. Kai's video was in the top of my "most enjoyed " ski/boarding videos, love the excitement this young man has, it's contagious.
yeah
Nope
That’s cool. Last year I did my first turn without wedging
jace alford you know how they teach pizza to slow down and turn? This is a wedge. The pros turn by putting all their weight on one leg allowing them to pivot, turning their hips and knees at the same time resulting in a turn in which the skis are parallel throughout.
That’s how I fell compared to him.
Bro I’m sooo stoked I’ve been watching Kai for 3 years!
Same it is amazing how much he has progrested
Same the dream is to ski with him
I agree with both you bros, I look up to kai so much {even though he's my age.} the dream would be to ski with him someday!
Same he keeps getting better and better
Same
I swear this kids been 13 for 3 years
Honestly.
With how active and ambitious he is, he will be a teenager for life and live forever.
hes 15 in a couple days
He is incredible- I’ve been following Kai-since he was 11. What I find most remarkable is his humility and appreciation for life. Good job mom and dad! You are raising a good human.
This kid gives me hope in the youth of today. Mad props homie! Don’t ever grow up. It’s a scam. Keeping ripping and enjoying your life
Agreed. As a smol science guy, I bet he 95% ski kiddo
Yup keep ripping and enjoying the position you were put in because of who your parents are
I just finished reading the New York Times' article on this joyful young guy whose whole being is devoted to skiing. What a life, to be so close to the mountains and to be able to control his body, mind, and experience that adrenaline rush almost daily. As he continues in this sport I know his parents are staying abreast of the latest on how to physically protect his body and head so he'll have a long life.
It's nuts that this kid is stomping double backflips at 13
hes almost 15 actually they just say hes 13 for shock value
@@thatbirdfromduolingo1854 no lamo
He is incredible!! And Jackson is 100% the coolest place possible.
I watched this video four years ago and it inspired me to ski. It changed my life and I used to just watch Kia’s videos over and over again, and movie he’s in I’ll watch. He’s so inspiring and amazing. Keep it up Kai!
Regardless of age, there is something different about Kai from most of the other pro skiers out there. Like I don't know exactly what it is but he's just got so much style and creativity and stoke like he's just so excited for every single turn. It is just so special to see and it makes me just wanna go send it, even though my home resort only has 400 ft of vert. Truly a special skier.
He reminds me a little of Johnny Collinson. Similar thing going on. Also how good does the relationship with his parents look? Which also reminds me of the Collinsons. Thumbs up Mum and Dad 👍🏻
@@jamiebailey4851 you guys need to look into who his dad and uncle are 😂
@@ErikFullmer yep, this video is the first I’ve heard of him so I have 0 idea 🤣
Looks like I’ll be doing some googling!
Edit: right, google search done, the surname really should’ve been a bit of a give away 😂
@@c_semm_shredz I'm more so just talking about his overall style, line choice, etc. Obviously, he's not like video game perfect yet because he's 13, but he's so far beyond almost every skier out there besides a select few. Also, his landings look like he's gonna crash because he's going absolutely massive. Most people can't even imagine hitting the cliffs and airs that he's hitting.
@@ErikFullmer I know all about Kai and who his dad and uncle are, but there is just something so special about this kid. Like there are just a few shots where it's clear that his line choice and style is just something special. And his stoke is infectious which is a huge part of why I love all of his videos.
Kai is progressing! One to watch. Next generation
Can't wait to watch Kai 3.0. This kid is insane.
I know him and his little brother
I couldn't stop smiling from start to finish, I remember being that young and traveling from Tx to Jackson to ski each year and it was like leaving earth to visit heaven.
Jesus I usually never leave comments but this kido's level is throught the roof, congrats!!
Im 13 and I just went to jackson hole a couple of weeks ago, it was the best experience ive ever had. Im a pretty good skier but Kai is just amazing. He is so talented.
He called his mom that’s dope
“This is the snow I’m gonna ski”
Welcome to the East coast
He lives in Jackson hole
@@arntroy7107 most snow is like that on the east coast tho bro he's joking
That’s a powder day for east coast skiing
Factssss the west coasters have it easy in terms of conditions😂
just skiid on an ice mountain on the east coast like i have my whole life :)
Kai you really are amazing the more videos I watch of you. What a great kid and you will be the best someday. You have nerves of steel to.
i am not a skier, but a huge sports guy tho, I have coached kids for 40 years and as talented a skier as Kai is, I marveled at his attitude more than anything. Thanking his coach at the end was perfect ending for this special young man!
I would literally quit my entire current life when I could do that every day.
I did but i am ameteur and old now :-)
Trying to do that this winter here in the northeast. Geared up and waiting on first snow now!
You can do that everyday, just go work at a ski resort.
@@kawabungadad8945 thats what I'm doing. Start in 2 weeks!
I would too. I live in the south currently, which sucks. I’ve always wanted to ski everyday, and become a professional. Hopefully one day my dreams can come true
In 1970 when I was in ninth grade I joined a weekend ski club to learn skiing. Only two of us quickly became good skiers - me and little Peter, a third grader who was short for his age. So we would ski the harder hills together. His smallness made the moguls seem distant and his great power to weight ratio allowed him to do amazing things while being able to shake off any hit.
Kai bruh, I hope you see my message, remember that what you do from April to November will dictate how long you can keep doing what you love. Remember to file your flight plan kid! Keep flting and having fun!#madrespect
I met him in Jackson Hole and witnessed him doing a massive 360
I still can’t believe kai is 13
I just turned 14 in October and I can barely land a backy
Me and a ton of my bodies basically worship you, your such a great positive influence and role model for thousands of kids like me!
Keep up the INSANE work!
Let’s go another sick vid from one of my favorite skiers
Damn Kai! love seeing the progression, stay safe and have fun!
My favorite parts are when he called his mom, and thanked his coach. His skiing?.......mind blowing. A special kid.
Since I don’t live in the snow, I can only ski for about 7 days a year, but I’ve been doing it since I was 5 (14 years now), I hope to move and get to where this kid is, he’s incredible for his age
What a humble hard working young man. Stay save . I just showed your video to my 8 year old granddaughter.
This kid is amazing. Can't wait to see what he does in the sport of skiing and how much farther he pushes the sport. This kid is amazing
Can’t wait for the movie!!! So stoked
I can't wait to see where this kid goes! That was so cute when he called his ma! Lil shredder dawg
Kai is INSANE! I got to meet him last year, COOLEST GUY EVER!
Same
Same here
I know this kid has a crew and help spotting lines etc but he's got some serious freeriding skills you normally dont just pick up like a park trick. impressive
a worthy Kai to follow in the footsteps of Kye Petersen! The young ones are sure having so much fun!
CZcams always knows how to make me feel insignificant. I was happy with just landing a single backflip on skis.
hey man that’s still better than me and most skiers on the mountain
@@caleb5882 ya think so😊
@@JackHandelman yeah man you’re better than a lot of people already
That’s a bad move man.
I think that when you landed your first back flip you were probably just as happy.
Dude when I landed a 180 I was stoked out of my mind
Unbelievable, incredible, and can't wait to see how unstoppable with another five more years of skiing like that.
Stoked!
Good! Kai is return!😃
I love everything about this... keep charging Kai!!
So sick, this makes me so hyped for ski season
Kai! You got some serious riding skills for ANY age! Keep up the practice you're going somewhere.
Outstanding. Congrats!!!
Until MS struck I was a ski junkie and am so pleased now to see young guys with spunk and ability showing the way. I have grandsons going off-piste on Blackcombe and wonder how Kai rates BC slopes and if he's tried heli-skiing in the Selkirks. I once glacier skied on Kilimanjaro at 5800m and recommend it for his bucket list.
Holy Toledo!!! Keep pushing the limits Kai, you are definitely setting the bar for the next generation. Amazing work from everyone involved in this, especially mom. My mom would have been so scared to get that call haha
This is just so sick! Amazing!
My 4 year old son just did a week skiing and went from level 1 to 4 in lessons. He had been watching this video and days later I asked him what he was singing on the way down, over and over...of course, the song from this video 🙂
I remember watching Kai at the Banff film festival in England. It was incredible
i can't even imagine when kai gets his license, cruises around in the woods on some sled that resembles the bat mobile and just rolls up on any little line in Jackson that he fancies
Stunning young guy! What a great video. Follow your dreams and no one can stop you. Stoked greetings from Austria
Let’s go Kai!! Huge fan
This is going to be fire👌🏻
Wow, goosebumps when that beast of an fifa banger was turned on!! Absolutely maaad skiing🤩
Some of the cleanest skiing I've ever seen 😳🔥🔥
Back in the late 70sI was coached by some of the original Freestyle Skiers. Eddie Lincoln, Scott Brooksbank, Bruce Dinman and John Clendenin. It was Eddie who taught me to do a "Backie" and my parents were so worried. If I would have done it at 13 I'm sure my parents would have taken my skis.
Best moment 1:40 - Mom, I just stomped a backy on it.”
hahahaha amagine just calling your mom and saying that!!!!
This kid is amazing. Short and to the point.
I'm watching this at the end of the season😫
Now I'm so hyped!
🔥🔥
I wish i could meet Kai one of my friends met him at Jackson he’s such an inspiration
This kid rips!! love the passion
I’m SO happy I’m about to start skiing 🎿⛷🎿⛷🎿⛷🎿⛷😁😄😁😄😃😀😃😁😆😁😁😃
Just AWESOME !!!! Keep it focused young men !!
so much passion in such a small human.
You the man, Kai! Way to send it & tackle the mountain! Keep at it! ⛷
0:55 that beautiful fretch air
This kid is going places. Awesome!
Kai you are a legend!
gets me hyped for skiing this year even though I ski in the east coast..
Those were some very good tricks. Keep sending it Kai.
kai is so awesome i would love to ski like him!
now they got my hopes up but we still have to wait one day. :(
One day!? I'm here in the northeast and we still have prob a month. Mt Washington by loon and Bretton woods got 10" the other day
Brian when I posted this comment it was 1 day till it uploaded
Wow. Dude can stomp. Strong skiing right here❗️
A reminder to pick your days, looks like a good season setting up for the Pacific North West, Rockies, Desert South even? Enjoy it kid!
Amazing segment, keep it up Kai
This kid’s going to be a star someday. Best of luck to him.
2:57. Every skier knows that feeling, can feel it watching him. Visceral. Every muscle fighting momentum....ahhh...
AMAZING!!!!👍Just AMAZING!👌
Beautiful film. Incredible skillset.
4:13 Thats considered a soft day on the east coast
That’s considered the snow in your backyard at 5pm on a Wednesday in Denver
That's considered powder at Mont Tremblant.
I love and hate skiing on the east coast love it for the challenge hate when I go to Utah the back and realize how much harder it is to ski the east
@@stormtech8010 in denver you are closer to the real mountains
@@kawabungadad8945 been to tremblant. Its pretty sick, my home hill is about 1/4th the size tho
I have been watching Kai since his first vid
Holy shit. We went to a drive in theater in Shelton WA and saw this kid flip into Corbets. All the love. Stoked here.
Wow......amazing for real lines for anyone let alone his age.
This kid is amazing good job boy never change your personality
All the haters....hate! This kid is phenomenal! I can't ski, but I can watch Kai and dream with him! Go baby! God bless you and keep you safe! You have the wings on your feet! Take flight and fly!❤💋
wow. shaking my head haha. that is incredible skiing. he is hitting the massive drops likes they a small fluffy powder pillow. :)
I could not be this kids mother.LOL. Amazing! Definitely will be watching for his name in future winter olympics!!!!
I love this kid and his parents and brother!!!
Kai, fly high!
so sick, so happy
UNBELIEVABLE!
In any sport, if you are not competing at the highest level, a boy of 13 years old who is, will be better than you. Just an incredible display of talent.
I love this kid!!!
Wonderful...great....fantastic....
legend this guy
Warren Miller would be proud (God rest his soul). Great video makes me want to get back on the slopes.
So insane, yet so awesome!!!
