Matt Linnel
February 1995
Val d’ Isere

Matt and I went to France and met Vianney. The idea was that we were going to meet up with all French riders. We show up with all our cameras. Matt was going to shoot video, Vianney had his camera, I had mine and we had no one to shoot. It was perfect weather, we had a perfect jump and we just said, "Matt you go off it." The next day some French riders showed up and we got some great shots including a cover shot of Jean Baptist Charlet. The insane thing is that you have all the best riders in the world and nothing for them to do, the other side is to have the most insane conditions in the world and no riders. Luckily, Matt was there. I told him, you’re not filming anybody, go off it.
