Agreed.

A great forum to push the prospect of pipe in the olympics, hopefully he is taken seriously and not just asked if he gets dizzy doing all those spinny flips.

True, especially if he is gonna talk about the 2010 pipe olympics, but I'd rather see Jon on a talk show because he is funnier and more professional than Tanner. no disrespect to tanner, he is sick and is the best skier in the sport and gets too much hate for his attitude and other shit. But Jon doesn't do pipe so tanner is obvious choice.

i Personally do not think he has what it takes to come off even slightly educated. But i support his cause 100%. if snowboarding half-pipe is allowed, why cant skiing be?

So 98% of the population then. There aren't many people outside of skiers who know who Tanner Hall is. Did you not realize the people booing his last pipe run? THAT is the general public, uneducated people who have no idea what good skiing is. He obviously is one of the best at pipe, and if he could get on the show he would be the best for it, but he would not be invited onto the show. I'm not hating on Tanner, I'm saying it like it is, the general public are fools.

Actually my friend who has never skiid before and doesnt even do any extreme sports, saw a picutre of tanner in my room and was like, "Oh Yeah, Ive heard of him, He is so crazy!"

So Tanner is more known then people think...

i think he will go on, show the chads gap video, then jay leno will call him a little bitch, and karate-chin-strike him.


then t-pain, lil wayne, and the rest of the stupid robot singing rap crew will come down from the rafters and jam

this better be better than dumonts interview with ellen, that sounded like when i explain to my moms friends how i ski or my teachers, "so you go up and spin off of that ramp and land backwards?"

nooooooooo
im just saying how awkward that conversation was from freeskiers standpoint, i think we can all relate to having a conversation like that.
If i was any old person i probably would have thought nothing of the way stuff was said just "holy shit that dudes high up"

tanner is a good person to represent skiing because he is such a big name in skiing
It will be sick if it gets in the olympics
