wow the level of the skiers looked way higher than that of the snowboarders no? the boarders hardly landed shit...

better than last year, but that jump still isn't at the level of freestyle.ch, air and style or the swedish one. everything looks hucked and the landing is too narrow. still i guess they're getting there compared to last year...

I dont know man... It was technically even bigger than the one at Freestyle.ch, and the landing was plenty wide enough from my perspective.

Besides, not a single skier OR snowboarder came up short or long all day. They set that jump up incredibly well, and all of the skiers were totally stoked on it. The snowboarders? well, they just couldnt land for shit. Travis Rice and that Humphries kid were the only two that actually landed really clean all day long.

Jeez.. mr. defensive are we?

So you think he is a 'homo' because he introduced a video game? or are you just saying the intro was homo... because... honestly, that was fucking 2001 when that game came out. And are you saying tanner and Vincent Dorion are homos too because they were in that game? Cmon dude...

Besides, that intro was probably just some scripted thing that some random fuck thought was cool... Not neccesarily what johnny or E Raps or Vincent or Tanner thought was cool at the time...

I'm sick of everyone hating on Jmo because he "gives skiing a bad rep" what rep did skiing have before Jmo? answer me that?

Dont say that i'm some crazy fool thats gay for JMo, believe you me, i'm not. I'm just not a fan of when poeple hate on somebody because of a really stupid reason... such as going mainstream in order to make money, which any of us would do if we honestly had the chance.

I really don't understand it either.  He was awesome when he did spins in moguls.  He has a huge influence to skiing.  I don't understand why everyone hates him.

Seriously... I can see why someone would hate him if he really was acting a fool all the time on TV or something... as in being skiing's paris hilton or brittney spears if you know what I mean...

But, from what i've seen him do since 1997 in skiing, I must admit hes been a pretty damn good advocate for the sport... organising freestyle events and such... Hell, he was one of the first guys to get freestyle events onto TV. I remember some big air event at Squaw back in like, 2000 with him and Evan Raps and Dorion throwing stuff, and johnny pulled a switch 7 mute or something and I thought he was the effin shit... Hell, and now hes pulling off this Icer Air thing? 3 years in a row? He has invested a LOT of his money in putting skiing back on that map. Id give that man some NS +karma if I could...
