So I like most of you have been keeping up with the Jon Olsson video blog and man I just am not into Jon like i used to be. Tight pants? gay skis? ski racing? hitting rails on a powder day?  I mean the guy is incredibly talented but after watchin the empire edits there are some new double flippers in town. Goddammit Jon you turned skiing into ariels with baggie clothes and poles.

I don't know how a ski can be ''gay'' when there's a half naked chick on them.

I do agree with a few of your other points though (maybe to a lesser extent).

Simon does not throw a frontflip-misty. It's a gymnastics flip called a full. It looks gay as hell. Don't gimme that sexual orientation shit either you know what I mean by gay.

Jon's gonna come up with something new over the summer you just watch, he always does.

Colby and Jossi are sick too don't get me wrong but Jon will come up with something new and perfect it by next winter.

dude wtf is your deal? why are you hating on a legit guy that has actually met the pros in question and knows his shit? i suggest you stop posting in this thread before you come completely unstuck.

and WHY are there still people dissing jon in this thread? its been established beyond any possible argument that jon is one of the greatest skiers in the history of our sport and evidently a stand-up guy to boot. there's NOTHING left to say, not negative stuff at any rate.

Whatever.

His dedication to building big, safe, fun jumps is enough to make me like him. Plus a history of really stylie segments in a number of movies? It just gets better.

Do any of you guys remember jon's segment in 1242 when he first really started to blow up on the scene?  Its one of my all time fav segments.  He stomps the shit out of a misty 9 first try on a HUGE crevasse gap bc jump.  His nose grabs were so smooth and sick.  Jon's just doing what hes got to do to stay on top of his game and you cant hate him for that.  He does seem to be getting a little carried away with the whole jump thing but hey, hes still a sick rider and hes def pushing the sport.

umm that shows how young you are, his first big segment was two years before that in propaganda with pennywise behind it. his segments in those two movies are some of the best ever. i dunno what you guys are hating on anyway. the fuckin dj flip is just as smooth as a cork 5 and a cork 3...maybe because thats what it is. you all need to stop being so damn jealous of jon

and jon olsson makes enough money to have a lambo as his most practical car by skiing.
theres the difference between training and "just skiing"

Dude, its an open competition. That means that anyone can win if they are good enough. just because Simon jossi and colby are starting to kill dos't mean you can hate on jon for not being good enough. There will always be people who will be better than you in years or onths to come. Jon landed his kangaroo flip a season or to ago, now your hating on him because simon learned a new double flip a week ago? C'mon bro, give people time and they will get bigger and better tricks. Jon is not down and out yet though. I wouldnt be surprised if he landed a new double in the near future, or maybe even triples next season...

Def not feelin Solomonkid161. The JOI was always sick and he builds huge jumps and throws the same trick twice in a row in the air, drives a Lambo w a ski rack on it, could slay pow and big myn better than all you kids have a clue about he just knows the $$$ is in the park comps for him and he has hot chicks on his skis. In the words of DL Incognito, haters don't even like themselves...so good luck with you're own identity problems kid.
