Oh, sorry for the double post, but if you google Jon Olsson, this comes up before his actual website. Pretty messed up IMO, since now even more people can see Team America's video before the scheduled release date.

Symms - totally lame bro.  Really? ESPN?  I thought they covered sports.  Your little tabloid was nothing but gossip - it didn't enhance anyone's view or understanding of the sport.  I tried to post on the article but didn't have an account.  There is enough drama about a little ski event on this here ski website.  If anyone is on the ESPN website aside from an NSer and reads that they will only think less of freeride skiing.  'preciate it.

Don't forgot . . . Symms has an axe to grind too. Jon invites Colby back for comedy but leaves Symms hanging? WTF? Seems like Symms got scapegoated for My Friend's a Pro's mockery of he event last year. This was a clever way to throw salt in Jon's wound!

Jon Olsson:

Seeing Team America do this really makes me sad, I have worked super hard to make this event happen and even harder to make sure that all the teams have a great time in Åre. So to see Team America not speaking to me or saying goodbye because of their score [and] then leak their video makes me almost wonder why I work my ass of to make this happen.

Simon and Tom:

Quite a battle of the pros.

plus I think jacob wester is right for once when he says the leak will offset any lost page views by creating hype.

damn it already has 33,000 views! think of how big of a difference that is in revenue for the sponsors.

everyone make sure you watch the video 10 times on the JOSS page haha

Your a good man. Unfortunately, I watched it before I was aware that it was leaked, and now I can't stop. But I will be sure to watch it more on Jon's blog.

Jon didn't tell the teams how the event was going to be judged before the event? That's just plain stupid.

This is actually ridiculous. Jon and Simon and Tom need to talk about all this together and get it all figured out. I don't want there being a rift between some of the most important people in the skiing industry

When you think about it, this is very true. Simon Dumont is one of those guys who comes up as one of the guys who really progressed the sport, Jon by holding all these huge events, and Tom with his breakthrough style and progression.

True. But it still sucks for Jon that this comes up before Jon's website when typing it in to google.

I think that most people already know this and have seen it. the best thing to do is just leave it be. its already caused a shit ton of shit already.

That it was posted on ESPN? Well i think whoever on here who see's the edit will not see it through ESPN, so it wouldn't get anymore unnecessary views.

Except Symms wasn't invited the first time, Sammy had to drop out and Colby chose Symms as a replacement.

Nice try though

Did you get invited to JOSS and decline invitation, or was there no invite?

No, this is an issue between Team American and Jon, it should have been resolved between them a long time ago. Blogging about it on ESPN just adds unnecessary fuel to a rift that could potentially turn the best competition in freeskiing into something that splits the tight group of skiers invited there. We want JOSS to make the ski community stronger, not divide it.

For being "an issue between Team America and Jon," there have been a lot of public statements released.
