Taken from www.HOSports.com, here's 9 questions current Master Champion Will Asher (www.WillAsher.com) threw at me a while back. WA: If you weren't skiing, you'd be...? MB: Working at some Civil Engineering firm, solving differential equations by hand to figure out the reinforcement required for an inverted concrete T beam. Or I'd be a snow chasing bum,... living in Van down by the river. WA: Paleo way of life,...what's it all about? MB: Paleo or "Cave Man" diet is simply the way we (humans) are supposed to eat....the way we really ate, before agriculture and farming began. No grains (no more bread or pasta), legumes or refined sugars. Basically real food: Meat, veggies, fruit, nuts. Simple. Wanna live longer?...feel better?...ski better? You probably should give it a try. WA: Do you ski different on a Syndicate product vs. everything else? MB: To keep things short and sweet, heck yes I ski different on Syn product. I ski better. My moves are better, I'm more balanced, and I'm more dynamic....all because the board on my feet is the best designed piece of carbon in existence. The first time I tried a Syndicate (reluctantly, due to all HO products I'd previously tried & failed on) not only did I ski better than I had on my stock ski...but I skied different. Things were happening that I'd never felt before...good things. I never looked back. WA: What’s the best part of Team Syndicate? MB: Team Syndicate is so well rounded: It’s an idea factory, a grassroots movement and a product development team with more collective competition and R&D experience than any other team out there. Syndicate is pushing the limits of what’s possible, moving in new directions and reaching new heights. Just having a chance to be a part of that is an honor. I have ambitions & passions...fueled by successes and failures...that's why I ski. Team Syndicate embodies the same ideals. It’s a perfect fit. WA: Are you stronger than your girlfriend?? MB: Haha...funny, I've never heard that one before (jk)!! I hope so...! But who knows these days. She's a BadA$$....you'll be seeing more of her in the near future. Anyone ever heard of the CrossFit Games? Keep your eyes open for Jenny LaBaw. AND, maybe we'll organize a "battle of the sexes" brawl and put this nonsense to rest, once and for all. P.S. - her nickname is "T2"...as in Terminator 2. WA: MarcusBrown.TV, tell us a little about it, and when will it re-launch? MB: When fall and winter comes, it gets cold. Cold = water freezing. That means no lake skiing. That doesn't mean people forget about it. MarcusBrown.TV was an effort to give folks something during the 'off' months. It was fun, having a live webshow...bringing on a new guest each week. Even had Team Syndicate on at one point! Basically when we re-launch the webshow (hopefully soon after the new year), it should be legit. Guest experts, speakers, news, videos, stories, prize giveaways, etc... There will be something for everyone. Keep it locked here to www.HOSports.com for news on the upcoming re-launch and MarcusBrown.TV updates! WA: You started a new school way of thinking...West Coast Slalom. Where did it all start? MB: Former world Champion, and friend, Mike Suyderhoud slapped some sense into Terry Winter and I when we were 16 & he said "boys, you could be good, real good...but it’s gonna take some work". So we went to work. We hypothesized, tested, failed, tested, tweaked, tested, etc... At the end of it, we had a new approach to skiing. West Coast Slalom was born. At its roots, it's an explanation of how to move. Everyone moves, whether they walk, jump, run, skate, board, bike or ski. The basics of movement, no matter what the sport, is almost all the same. We had cracked the code, and come up with a "movement for dummies". Try it...it'll change your life. WA: Tell us something we don't know about you: MB: I eat like a Caveman, The Universe fascinates me, working with wood is a passion, I drive a van...a really really big van & 75.8% of my life has been spent with hair shorter than a Mexican Hairless Chihuahua! WA: I know people ask you this all the time...but how much do those dreads weigh? MB: Dry Dreads = 1 lb, Wet Dreads = 6 lbs
