He's a midget, or dwarf, but I'm almost certain he perfers the term "little people".

It's from all those hard landings they take, it stunts their growth :-)

or people who are shorter have a center gravity thats lower to the ground than other peole making slightly easier for balance and causing shorter people to be better at areial maneuvers......

Yeah skiing is like the only thing that has bonuses of being short, like many said they have a lower center of gravity, its easier to maneuver and it looks just so much more steezy.

Like I can't imagine like a 6'5'' person on a rail standing straight up..especially if they were all skinny and lanky and shit it would look gross.

i beg the differ, i love tall steeze. downeys got that shit on lock. will wesson is 6'2 and has made style. ever since i started skiing until now, tricks have only gotten easier. i still havent felt any negative impacts of being tall. infact urban is way easier when your tall (smaller jump) and pipe is easier with more weight.

From Forward special feature, "newfoundland" about dumont

Berman:"woah, what's up with his pants?"
kid:"They've gotten a little bit too extreme."
Berman:"A little to what?"
kid:"extreme. They're too big. They're way too big."
Berman:"You think he looks pretty silly like that."
kid: "yeah...he looks short."
Berman"haha, he is short."
