Tanner in Big Air London, but not Icer Air?

What's up with that, loads of big names are going to Icer, and Jon, Sammy and Jacob Wester are going to both, why isn't Tanner?

Is it, dare I say it, because of the money involved, I don't know how much you get at Icer Air, but the London purse is gonna be $25,000.

Now don't get me wrong when I say this, I think Tanner is one of the greatest skiera out there and if this is the reason I completely understand coz its probably what I would do if I was in his shoes. But I would hope that Tanner would take the opportunity to compete against an arms length list of the best skiers, rather than just compete where he's got a better chance of winning.

Or maybe he is a shrewed business man, i mean how many top premieres have we had in the UK, we have a massive ski community, (wow a pun) and his film has not been advertised at all here yet.

Plus, its a unique event, with mega money yeah,

I'm stoked that so many riders can be arsed to come over here,

fair play to them, shame they are outpricing every ski bum in england for the tickets though.

ya, thats what i heard too. Tanner is definitely coming because Sports Vision plays a big part in Armarda support, but i think he is just hosting the comp or something

Where else is better?? Im pretty sure no where not even amsterdam my friend went there and said it was decent but nothing compared to cali bud. If you say east coast you've never smoked real bud. And im not tryin to claim here but its just kinda known around the world. California has the best climate for really anything to grow including cannabis. Thats why we have so much agriculture here.

Greg, how do you and nicko have such obscene levels of Karma? Are all your posts so poignant and wise?

I don't even understand Karma so I dunno how mine is better than yours; especially cos I didn't join that long ago; is it to do with adding photos and stuff cos I posted a few bits from BUSC.


P.S. Backstage pass for London Freeze - you wish!

Would be so sick to ski with (well, watch them then just embarass myself) with all the big name pro's....but yeh, i reckon $800 is a better choice for me for 4 half hour shows in Northern England the same weekend haha. Nothing to do with me sucking.....
