I'm so bummed.  I was stoked to go watch them ride.  Watching Dumont isn't all bad though.

i dunno, i never saw anyne do a 360 hand drag till i saw simon do one at the euro open 2 years ago, i thought it was creative and cool as fuck.

1. technically it wasn't used in the same sentence it said "their (simon and tanner's)...creativity"
2. how is simon not creative? or in that sense is any skier who does the same tricks as the others creative?
i personally think attempting a double misty 14 is pretty creative

This!  and I still have never seen anyone get higher out of the pipe than Dumont.  That's creative enough for me.

Such a bummer... I'm sure Dumont absolutely murdered the pipe nonetheless though.

are you serious?

The only thing that can be blamed here is the horribly designed jump.

why has tanner opted out of everything park related this season?
his new zealand footage from last summer was sick!

They were.  Those pics of him hiking are staged.  There's no way they would make the athletes hike for a pipe shoot when there are only 2 riders present.

Well he "opted out" of this shoot because, well I don't know about you, but I wouldn't enjoy skiing on broken legs.

im not saying he was the first but doing something no one else is doing/has done for a while seems mildly creative to me especially if no one has done it on skis
i just don't understand everyone's hate for simon, the kid kills it so whats wrong?

yeah man, I mean i hear what you are saying, and you won't hear me hate on him half as much as some kids like to on here, but i guess it just didn't really sit right with me. I just didn't really find it all that funny. Thats all i'm gonna say about that though, simon kills it on the slope. peace
