Ya, that looked really nice.  Simon needs to bring back the truckdriver instead of doing that double that everyone can do now.

Sucks that they'll be able to do no grab dub flips in the xgames and podium.

Props to Simon for getting his right side spin and his double flip game on. Can't wait to see what he's up to this winter.

holy shit, simon spun rightside. and learned a double. its about time he started progressing again.


but i agree with what evan said, it sucks that these dub flips have no grabs. fuck the whole grab the knees thing. how hard would it be to throw in a safety or japan or somethin

I hope that was the "lets learn spins and dubs" training day not the "lets grab things with style" training day...I'll wait for that edit...they like their music like they like their pipe walls...hard as fuck!

Sick, pipe game is stepping up.  I agree with eheath though they need to start grabbing the doubles, this knee grab stuff is a bit shit but still the pipe should be sick this year.  Bring on the first stop of the Dew Tour.

Ya know what. Im not usually the guy to do this, but give em some time. Yeah, no grabs yet. But its the first week of pipe skiing this season and hopefully by the time X games rolls around, in 2 months, they will have grabs. I really don't know anyone that is perfect the first week of the season WHILE learning new tricks.

you caught me. it's not that I don't like simon's tricks, I know he's better than I'll ever be, but his lack of progression.

Haha yeah, sorry i wasn't trying to be one either. Just commenting on how his new suit looks a lot like the TJ Pro jacket. This years Air Raid looks a lot like the G Suit. I really could care less what they knock off. I think the new suit looks just as cool if not cooler than the prior and both are sick!

If you think that edit wasn't sick, you know NOTHING. Try riding pipe for once and you'll see how hard that shit is.

As for Simon, he progressed the sport sooooo much back in the day, and then did it again 2 years ago with the QP record. Until you've gone even 10 feet out of a pipe you have no idea how gnarly 35 feet is. And now, he's pushing his own skiing again in an attempt to get back on top of the pipe game. Can't see what's wrong with the guy. Besides, you all forget that last year him and Wallisch put out a segment that was called "the best since pep in 1242" by Tanner himself. Give the guy some credit! He slays and has done a ton for our sport. I've got nothing but respect for the guy.
