Wayne Wong

How could someboby named Wayne Wong be so bad ass?  Wayne Wong overcame significant adversity to become the 'Skier of the year' in 1972 and was referred to as the face of freestyle skiing in the early 1970's. 

What adversity you say??

For starters his name is Wayne,...Wayne Wong (pronounce it Rayne Rong for added fun); and he's some asian fella who showed up and changed the ski world.  An asian skier who rips??  It's just about as likely as Nic Leo dunking a basketball!

 

Looky here, Rayne Rong, he's Chinese but sports U.S.A. poles and a damn maple leaf Canadian toque, WTF Rayne Rong?

 

He's actually a Tim Horton donut huffing Chinese-Canadian, who probably fathered my wife's Chinese-Canadian friend Agnes Rong.

Here again is Rayne Rong straight Ka-RaTTeh KuNg Fu-ing it at Alpine Meadows.  Bad ass.
