Looking back at the last dew tour pipe stop, (VT) i was stoked to see simon won, and even more stoked to see that tanner was also stoked about it.
Looks like a change of attitude.
Sick.

Bottom line, both of those guys are unreal skiers. Tanner skied great, but Simon absolutely slayed that halfpipe. Simon deserved every drop of that victory, he went massive and skied incredibly technically.

Mad respect to Simon, Tanner and especially Dorey! Shit, respect to all the athletes out there... hell without them what would the rest of us have to watch?

i cant wait to see dorey in xgames and in a few years because his double was re-fuckingTARDEDLY stomped...as long as i am thinking of the right one.

tanner will always be my overall favorite skier but dumont was for sure on point that night.

what makes it even sweeter is tanner's attitude in general towards his fellow riders/competitors. super sick!

i wouldnt say simons run was technical compared to every other run. he just goes big, and does the ugliest iron cross alley oo 7 into another ugly switch hit. dorey goes just as big and does way sicker tricks. not to mention that dumont is a homo and should never win.

Dorey is fucking sick, he went under the radar...ish? For awhile and just slayed pipe at every competition last year, he completely deserves to be where he is right now. And T-HALL is an absolute pipe machine, rather, skiing machine, he is the best, has been the best for awhile, it's so good to see Dorey catching up, siked on that.
simon goes big... which is good, if you like simon...
T-HALL all over simon, all the fuck over
