Replying to Jon smokes race program out of a two bit pipe..

For those who aren't entirely closed minded on various aspects of skiing being drawn to the cumulative effort, i have some rather bad ass news.

I was standing at the pipe today in Park City, and as i gandered to my left I caught a glimpse of our good friend Jon Olsson pumping low and hard through a rutted GS course in flat light.  Astonishing, was my first thought... Why would a freeskiing baller who has won virtually ever major contest be on a race course? 

I dropped into a quick run and slid into the finish area of the race event just in time to see all the up-tight, nazi racer coach's faces sag in equal astonishment and apparent despair.  I skated over to my Swedish comrade, knowing previously about his racing joke, and anxious to see how he had finished.  And? 

Jon went ahead had the fastest time in the second run out of 120 FIS racers, proving that he successfully does whatever he wants, and a rippin park skier who never trains the gates can step into the race arena against determined athletes with overzealous coaches and blow some fuckin socks off.
