Team America

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to give everyone a heads before any false rumors get spread. 
JOSS Team America this season is going to be Myself, Simon Dumont, and Bobby Brown.

I am going to be competing as the Team America Rookie.  This was my first season competing in the X-games and accordingly I can still be considered the rookie for our team.  Although I competed in JOSS last year, I feel me being the rookie for our team is a great way to put together as good of a team as possible.  It also gives bobby a chance to come out to Sweden with me and simon.  He deserves it so much, and I couldn't be more stoked to have him on our team.

There are tons of awesome skiers out there, and tons of american skiers that absolutely kill it.  Yes there are other skiers that deserve an opportunity like this, but no one as much as bobby.  He's slayed the comp scene and it's gonna be awesome to have him as a part of a film project like this. 

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up! And let you guys know how stoked we are on our team for this season.  It's gonna be an awesome contest!
Hope you guys enjoy the videos cause I know we'll enjoy making them!


-Tom Wallisch

If anybody does, get the dumont picture by screen shoting the part from the slum dog illionaire edit when they talk about gang signs and he does the bazooka stance.

I'm really stoked on this Team and on Bobby going! He deserves it so much, he just slayed everything this year and he is going to crush every feature at JOSS.

BUT, I am almost positive that making Wallisch announce it is a move that was probably asked by Jon. If Jon would have announced it, everybody would have been pissed about it because he is kind of breaking the rookie rule about his own contest. And we all know that Jon wanted Bobby so badly in. But now that the king of NS announced it, everyone is gonna be happy about it! Good move on that.

None of these skiers are true rookies, i wish a real amateur like hornbeck or somebody could actually represent America as a rookie like every other team is, damn shits disappointing...

1. I thought the rookie had to have never been invited to X games before.
2. Who cares, whatever makes for good video in the end.

what about any of the 4bi9 kids, they made their own fucking movie company however long ago, most of them are sponsored by big name ski companies... all of them are amateurs accept wallisch (maybe there are a couple more idk), yet wallisch is representing america as a rookie... ironic

i wasnt the one complaining about wallisch being the rookie, you were.

i dont care. its gonna be a sick video regardless.

and regardless of what hes listed as on armadas site, i would not call him "am" or a "rookie"


but whatever, no need to freak out. you cant go back to whining about who should have gone instead. it will definitely get a lot accomplished
