Just watched Jon's video blog and he said that JOSS may not go down this year.
Does anybody have anymore info on the impending crisis?

Jon is one of the, if not the hardest working people in skiing.  If you actually watch the video blog, he seems pretty pissed off that JOSS isn't going through.  Which to me means that it is something out of his control.  I am sure he will elaborate on it more later, but don't blame something like this on his racing.  If it is his racing, then I am sure he will put on some other sick events.  You need to have a little more respect for one of the people who has done more for skiing than you ever will hope to accomplish.

^yeah I was thinking that because of the current financial crisis some major sponsors might have backed out like at ICER air whatever it may be I really hope it works. Maybe Jon can downsize the epicness from last year to still make it happen.

No, it's because of the economical crisis in the world right now. A lot of major sponsors are bailing on competitions. 48 straight, NAO, and some other events aren't happening this year either supposedly. Jon puts on the best events every year though. I'm sure he'll make it happen, even if it was just a big air like the old JOI it'd still be sick. Hopefully he'll pull through in the clutch.

oh... my bad, i wasn't aware that Jon who is obviously one of the hardest working guys in our sport is gay for extending furthermore into what skiing really is and that its not just about park but about being a well-rounded skier, so obviously jon is gay because he races. your an idiot man. do you really think it's jon's racing career that is possibly stopping JOSS? i can assure you its not that because if it was we would have heard about it a while back. it obviously has something to do with the shitty economy and as said above possible sponsors dropping out.

THINK and dont jump to conclusions

although u are right in about the economy and such, thinking and jumping to conclusions is better than reading a pros post and repeating it trying to sound smart

haha racing hardly would make jon change JOSS
if you watched the last videoblog hes not having the videoblog done on him when he goes for his races in Canada but is making Josh (his camera guy) stay with Oscar to cover the Dew Tour...im pretty sure its gonna be all good. HE HEARD GOOD NEWS ABOUT JOSS PEOPLE so worry less and stop calling the other aspects of our sport gay in case you havent noticed without racing there probably wouldnt be freeskiing

I kinda think jon does not like rails, and he may be getting into racing because he knows the sport (freestyle) is moving into a more skateboarding and jibbing direction, cause alot of the airs have been exploited already. i was watching him hit key and he does not seem/look comfortable hitting rails at all, seems very tense.

just my 2 cents.

Jon Olsson's recent blog update said both JOSS and JOI will be going down for sure! Woohoo! Apparently it will not be in Are Sweden this time. More details will come soon

I was talking to Jon the other day, he said that he was having trouble because a bunch of the normal sponsor companies went under and he lost like $100 000 in sponsorship money. He said there would still at least be a JOI though. Trust me though, its definitely on his mind and his racing time isn't interfering with it.
