Sammy Carlson @ Mt. Hood.
I've know Sammy Carlson since he was 10 years old back in 2000. Every weekend I come off the mountain to Mt. Hood's Cascade Ski Club located in Govt Camp, OR and there would be this lil mighty mighty set up rails outside his parents cabin. Even then his one goal was to be a pro-skier, but cant say I believed him then. All of sudden he was throwing backflips off cliffs, switchin up rails, and gaining bigger and bigger sponsorships. Then in spring/summer 03' at Mt. Hood Timberline's pro-park, Sammy was the only guy throwing 1080s off a jump known as the 'tree gap' and since then 'the sky's the limit.' Now Sammy is one of the top pros out there, taking X-Games silver, got the top sponsors, and I heard rumor that last season he made his first million. So this is my tribute to you lil man. Say "whats up?" to your sister for me.
