back now.
Did you have to look on a map to find out where Estonia actually was? Crumlish:: haha I try to not be that ignorant stupid cliche American, but I wouldn't be able to point it out if they were unnamed on a map. Very excited to take in the culture this February.
Now you’re on the riders list, how does that make you feel?
Answer: It is nothing short of an honor.
What was your first impression when you saw the drawings
of the 2014 course? Crumlish: Every year I watched footage of the contest I drooled over the course and this one is no different. Nate Wessel knows what he is doing.
When do you first get to ride the set up? Any obstacle in particular that you want to hit up first thing?
Crumlish:: That mega ledge rail combo platter. The up/down rail thing with the Shadow ledges behind it.
Making finals will be tough in a strong field like this. How do you see your chances?
Charlie Crumlish: Depends on how strong the Estonian chronic is. With the live webcast thousands of people will be watching you ride, plus about 2000 pretty girls will be there in person. Are you getting nervous yet?
Crumlish: I've been nervous since I caught wind of it being a possibility that I was headed over haha. Trying to stay positive, but if I can land a few moves I'll be happy no matter what the result.
Who is your pick for first
place this year? Crumlish: Drew Bezanson duh.
Do you have any people you want to thank for making it to Simple Session 2014?
Crumlish: Alfredo Mancuso for convincing me it was possible and all my sponsors for making it a reality. I love you guys a/h.
