@Rich i was just now seeing this. That’s some nice words and I truly appreciate it. We still are in contact with the Morrisons we see each others family ever so often. Man. I guess I just wish I had more time with him. But In the end don’t we all wish that.

I actually have some pictures I’ll post tomorrow. From when I was maybe 12 or so with Leroy. I’m only 24 now but I’ll post some pictures of him later in his life. It’ll take me on a little trip down memory lane too.

@BicoastalSkier thats pretty cool. Yeah they lived on bethal island until their house burned down in the middle of the night. Around 2009 maybe? I sure do miss those days. We lived right down the street in a mobile home park on bethal island sandy (lees wife) and lee lived only 2 minutes away. I go back to bethal island every once in a while and just walk up the levee where the house used to be. It’s still an open plot of land to this day. Brings back a lot of memories from my childhood. I still have so many questions I wish I could ask him. But never will get the chance. I do appreciate everyone’s feedback and help on this topic. It’s one that’s very close and dear to me. Leroy was basically my second father.

@swbca sweet. Thanks so much for keeping me updated.

@pc thats awesome;) I grew up in that house on bethal island right on the levee. It was a dream for a kid growing up. Your own boat dock to fish off of and going out everyday with lee fishing and having fun. I really miss that place.

Please just let me know ! If it can that would be absolutely amazing :) I do appreciate it greatly.

He actually made me a longboard out of one of his skis he designed. I still have it but it’s obviously been covered in grip tape and cut down.

Your Current Personal Best versus your Early Personal Best

@swbca you knew my uncle? Leroy Burnett? I’m trying to find any information and or photos of him since he has passed. We lost everything in a fire. -
My uncle of course! Leroy Burnett!! One of the best to do it.

Leroy was my uncle. It’s so cool to see people still talk about him so many years later. I’ve been searching for literally anything about him. He passed away in 2014 on a ski trip in Tahoe. Thanks guys for giving me a little something.

Who is the greatest underrated skier in the modern era?
AustinGraham replied to Horton's topic in News & Other Stuff
@Rich Thank you so much for that photo. Leroy was my uncle! I grew up on bethel island and every single day we would be out on the water for at least 2 hours. From fishing to wake boarding we did it all. Unfortunately lee passed away in 2014 while skiing up in Tahoe. He had an aneurysm. But he passed doing what he loved!! He was THE best skier in the world at the time. He still holds world records to this day. My uncle. Leroy Burnett.
