Judging by the hot pink of the jacket, his outerwear must have melted the ground beneath him.

It's the only way to explain that photo.

Hit it with Tanner the day that Tanner wrecked himself. Tried a couple switch nines but kept over shooting and never landed. Went to lunch, Tanner broke his ankles and Jon didn't hit it again.

I feel so old.

Also, if there is any confusion (I doubt but you never know), that photo is shopped.

oh don't feel old dude, haha, I was way into skiing back then, too... and I knew they were hitting it on the same day, but I never knew for sure what Jon did over it/what he landed & why none of the footage made it into TBC.

what is shopped on the photo?

It looks like he stomped it in the last shot of that video. I guess he may have overshot and washed out.

Hard to tell from that angle. Sick stuff though for sure.

He does both. The racing was a bet with his friend that he could make the 2014 olympics bashing gates.

Are you implying that Jon sprinkled pixi dust on the inrun, and he is the real reason Tanner met his unfortunate fate!? That is a hell of a claim.

I heard he tried a double, did some flat 5s, ripped around on his lamborghini and then slayed a slalom course. He also paid $250 000 to have the jump built, and red bull flew in a crate of drinks for him. Tanner then proceeded to break his ankles, so Jon could win X-games, while Tanner made a movie, and then flipped shit because Xavier Bertoni beat him. The 1080s then came out, twintip skiing was invented, the New Canadian Air Force pushed the sport by doing 360s and then Johnny Mosely made a crappy video game. Newschoolers was born, eheath got fat and skierman grew red hair, then skateboarding became cool and everyone complained because skiing wasn't like skateboarding, doubles aren't cool, now they're stylish, backcountry is gnarly, errybody shreds, win-win situation.
