Replying to Tanner does NOT compare to terje
ok so the thread about tanners influence being compareable to terje influence in snowboarding sufficeintly bothered me in order to make a new thread so that this can be heard:
Tanner can not compare to terje, tanner is a good skier, but his impact on the sport is totally different, and in no way as large as terje contribution to snowboarding. Im not denying that tanner cant ski big mountain or whatever, because he definately can. But... saying that tanner is as good an all around skier as terje is a snowboarder is just madness. Terje could make any big mountin ripper look like and amature out there, and tanner is certainly not even at the level of guys like morrision, hugo harrison, or any others. theres a certain untouchable quality that terje has in both his style, and his influence on the sport, that tanner doesnt have. I would say if anybody can be compared, its candide thovex for sure, this guy threw a d-spin 7 over a 120ft gap when he was about 16, and he had a pro model the next year, first freestyle skier to have pro model twin tip? in there with kris ostness for sure, and he still dominates with the same powerful tweaked recognizable style that is like terje's snowboarding. Candide has had a irrefutably large impact on our sport, (evidence, three movies doucumenting his skiing already made) and continues to ski how he always has, i hope you guys consider all this before you throughly try and smack it down, thanks for reading
