Not true, as soon as people started congratulating him and saying that people should not have booed him at x games, he started posting. I think its a good thing that pros connect with the people that look up to them. If I were pro I would do the same, and that's how you win haters over too.

exactly. If you have never met someone really but think they are a dick but then meet them and they seem chill you will compleatly change ur opinion. Same thing for ns. You could think come pro is a retard but then u read there posts and realize they are chill so u decide u like them.

I think it was unnecessary to throw Tanner's name in there, because there's so many legit people on this site who have inter/national recognition. People are going to think what they want about someone, whether they are watching them on tv or interacting with them in a closer way. As far as ns goes, I appreciate pros doing stuff with us. Take the Sammy chat last night... it's cool to know that someone who's a respected athlete still interacts with people in a personal level. whatever, I respect it.

Agreed with Alex_G..pros that take the time to post here and communicate with fans should/will get props.

Peeps have to remember that heaps of people Idolise THall..him posting in person will always push these fans buttons.

The thing about what your talking about is it only applies to super pro's so to speak. No one is gonna know or care for that matter if half the other pro's are on new schoolers, yes it is cool they are interacting with fans online, but no one gives a rats ass if the other 'almost big names' want to chat with their fans.

I always found him annoying, but, he has grown up, saw the importance of fan support. Or maybe everyone acts like him so there is no point of disagreement over personality. I want him to go back to park skiing, I find that powder is not his thing...

BAM!

Anyway, I wasn't a fan of Tanner really at all before XGames, but after I saw what happened at the half-pipe finals it made me realize how underrated he really is. He throws down, and not just in the pipe. He's like Federer.

My god pro skiers aren't human, they are not allowed to creep around websites in the sport there involved in!

The real question is who isn't on NS?

Jon Olsson had the SICKEST webcasts for a good chunk of the winter. I really hope he brings JOI to NY next year. Please Jon, make it happen!
