MA'ing people who did not want to be MAed is freaking lame, and MAing someone without knowing his intent is nearly impossible.

I know I ride a high horse but someone has got to ride it!
The underlined part makes sense, but his intent is clearly to impress people with his skiing so that they will attend his camp.   By posting the advertising video, he is (in a sense) inviting MA.

I'm OK with your commitment and dedication to your skiing style, Max and JBotti have a similar commitment and dedication to their way of skiing. 

(One of the most impressive things I've ever read was in the middle of the "dot-com" bubble era, when Warren Buffett sent a letter admitting that times may have passed him by, and maybe he was getting old, but that he had to stay true to who he was and what he understood.  He pretty much pulled out of the stock market for a while -- and he was right, the bubble burst.  But I really admired someone who could publicly say "this is who I am and I'm comfortable with that".  Especially for someone getting older, that took a lot of guts.
