Replying to Why no love

A.0.spin:
I will post just once in this thread:

Why is there so much needless hate on simon dumont at the moment?

The way I see it is he has a very smooth style and is so comfortable in the air. his cork three's are some of the biggest slowest and smoothest out there. the guy also has trade marked the cork 10 with grab held the entire time. Also from NZ edits and just what I have seen is legit on rails though not as much as say tom wallisch or henrik.

He didn't some how magically rig the fucking text voting(stupid as shit yes i know) so you cant blame that on him. He just threw a trick he is fucking badass at and decided to amp the crowd than just hucking and spinning like fucking crazy which most pro skiers can do. And that was 20 times better than a double front that would have won 20 years ago or whatever so stfu about that. Yes PK's 12 was dope and super technical but perhaps crowd thought maybe simons was more stylish *ghasp*. Simon does what he can and wants to win but is allways a humble winner and gracious loser. Any attempt to argue that he was sulky or sullen when he lost pipe or arogant and too stoked when hewon big air is purely subjective.

I am sure some of you can do a double front... but can you do it on a block of ice and with such show manship in front of 100 million people? thats what I fucking thought

not liking him because he is short is just shallow and completely rediculous. I understand someone not liking him for coming off as arrogant. The thoughts in thread came from the 4000 posts regarding the xgames where nearly everyone is bashing simons double fronts as if its some sort of disgrace or something and just sounding retarted in general when speaking about the x games....

 on that note most of you sound really shallow and not stoked at all that our sport just got a lot of spotlight which only occurs once a year to the general public
