Aleksander Audal performs an aerial maneuver in Mammoth Mountain, CA during the Making Of Refresh.
Two weeks ago, ESPN Freeskiing and Level 1 Productions put you on some "The Making Of Refresh" type ish. "Ish" is a word that twenty-somethings like your friends use in the place of "[expletive deleted]" because radio edits of rap songs often reverse swears to make them unrecognizable as swears and the sound that results from the reversal of "[expletive deleted]" sounds a lot like the word "ish."
On Part One of our "Making Of" series, we joined Ahmet Dadali, Mike Hornbeck, and Henrik Harlaut as they surveyed the frozen environs of Michigan for exciting urban skiing. Today, we travel to Mammoth Mountain, California for a sneak peek of Mike Hornbeck, Ahmet Dadali, Tom Wallisch, Duncan Adams and many other young park aggressors getting ill on massive spring jumps. Enjoy.
