I hope he doesn't try something crazy and wind up crippled. Seriously.

Oh, I didn't even think of that, although I get the feeling a few people might be going out of this hurt, seeing as how a lot of them fell in the pipe.

But if anything, he really wants to win this.

yes. but the rest of the year too. when he lost to tanner a few years back he went and tried to break the world record for quarterpipe air. this year he didn't metal. we're in for something crazy and reckless from the dumont. mark my words  . . .

Maybe the judges left him without a medal intentionally, just to agitate him for this super hit suicide.

Dumont didn't podium for the first time in many many years, got last place on the high air (when amplitude used to be his strong point), AND lost his pro model ski for next year. I think his attitude is gonna change and we are gonna see old dumont come back. I hope so!

Ay man, you might want to tighten up your spelling game.


And yes, he no longer has a pro model lined up for next year.

In his career....I bet he's made almost a million, target has to pay him pretty good. Its such a huge company that is so random. Plus when he got on Ellen with the red bull quarter pipe, I can only imagine that got him a pretty hefty bonus....I really don't know though, but my bet is he is one of the highest paid just because he is who most people know who don't ski.

There was an article in espn magazine about him. and i think it said somewhere in there that he has made at least a million. i cant remmember the numbers. But it was upwards of a million.
