TPM Episode 427: "Sick" Rick Armstrong, Pro Skier, Part 2

Not only is he a legendary member of the Jackson Hole Air Force, known for sending the biggest cliffs in Jackson and beyond, but he was also on the first wave of mountain biking and paragliding. If there isn't a level of risk and exploration to something, well, it's not for Rick.
