this post mirrors my thoughts pretty much

legit skier, good editor, thoughtful guy, but too caught up in his own self-importance. lots of good ideas, but he'll need to develop them further so that his future interviews don't come off as a pretentious jumble of quasi-intelligent thoughts.

actually he does talk like that. he talks however he wants. thats what differentiates him from the rest of you drones...whatever happened to the saying "to each his own"....too many of you are caught up in your judgemental ways

i will leave you with the words of the great Ice Cube:
"chiggity check yourself before you wreck yourself"

^i bet he does talk like that. and it's great! we need more thinkers in skiing for sure. but the words he uses require cohesive thought behind them to be effective. he gets really close, but you can tell that the depth of his vocab just barely outreaches his power to use it effectively. i'm sure that in three years he will have all his ideas on point, but at the present moment, his delivery seems like it exceeds his grasp of his own thoughts... the result comes off as pretense.

^no dude, i don't expect an english professor. that's my point! i expect a 17 year old. i have mad respect and have been a big fan of landis' work and his skiing, and i think it is really sick what he's been able to accomplish before the age of 17!

but when a 17 year old tries to connect ideas that aren't quite so well thought out (see hennie's post), or elevate his prose to a level that reads like it's beyond his capability, it doesn't come across as genuine any more. it comes across as though he's either pretentious or trying too hard.

i'd like to meet him, because i think he's probably not either in real life. but i think it's fair to point out that that's the (probably unintended) impression that comes across from the way he presented himself in that interview.

Who gives a fuck that his vocabulary knowledge may not be used properly. Hate to bring age into this mess but the dude is only 17 years young.  The most important thing is that he understands that life is best lived out through your own perspective and nobody else's.

plus he's sponsored! so we should all talk and walk like he does

Disregard my comment about age, I know a lot of kids my age that are a lot more wise than 80 year olds.

why does age matter?

Do your next interview on the phone in my opinion to get more raw answers straight from the heart. Unless you were going for the opposite which is cool, not sure what you wanted to go for. But you can tell he had a lot of time to think and portray to people the way he really wanted to.

I agree with you. There's no need for skiers to put other skiers down.

all igot out of yours was "i want to suck this faggots dick so much casue im a fucking homosexual bitch"

im not jealous of the fag who is so intelligent that he knows how to use the synonym function microsoft word. tanaka is a legit homo and he hasnt backed up shit with his skiing, hes an emo pussy who deserves to be called out.

fuck the haters, suck a dick.
