So a couple of my budies were at this FIS race today in Winter Park and Jon Olsson was there racing. Does anybody else know about him making a comeback in racing or anything like that?

Oh right on. I had heard that he might wanna try for 2014 but didn't know for sure. Is he still gonna be competing in Slope and Pipe or just focusing completely on racing?

just check out his video blog, he tells ya pretty much everything that's goin on... he's still gonna be doin his thing on the freestyle side as well as racing. I think it's real sick, shows his overall ability as a skier, good for Jon.

That would be soo sick if he won in the olympics. Hed pretty much own the sport of skiing in every facet.
