he got a promodel for burton...but blew out his achiles tendon..so they cut him
{ classic burton style} reminiscent of all burtons good riders..uninc/seven ect.....He took the 500,000 and bought a ranch in pemberton 30 min north of whistler.
way ahead of his time... To truley appreciate this, need to others at the same time. Not even close to the height. Shawn White needs to cut a check to MM when he claims the double cork
full credit for his double chuck no credit for shaun and his double corks these are the same move. and chuck invented it before shaun even try it. but shaun didn'T invented it he just gave a second breath at this move. nice job at both of them
He was awesome back in the day. I recall his run in Nagano, crashed hard doing the double. Rumoured to be riding with a broken ankle too. I think his injuries just caught up with him. He was always more of a backcountry outdoors guy. Not sure what he's up to, probably still in Pemberton, I am sure he can still sled like a fiend.
god its unreal that this is 10 years old, will definitely post on superstoker
i havent heard about this dude in a while, he used to be a household name in riding
his wikipedia page is hilarious "has at times been regarded as arguably the most spectacular, daring half-pipe rider in Pemberton[1]." LOL as if that's his greatest achievement.
"The Michalchuk . . .back flip while twisting 540 degrees while at the same time chanting Michalchuk three times."
Mike is more than a rider, he's an artist on the snowboard. He's got so much swagger. It's a shame he was plauged by injuries.

2:20 Michalchuck to doublechuck. This would still make the cut it into a pro section today. Way ahead of his time.

Wow. He was the Travis Rice of his time, maybe even more. You didn't see anything close to that in the 90s!
