So sunday i was at my little hill (valley) in michigan. When i got there i was told that the whole us snowboarding team and simon dumont where there to train for pipe. This resort (otsego) happens to have a perfect 22 foot pipe and a quarter pipe to air bag. After a few warm up runs simon started trowing switch dub cork 10's into the air bag. He was surprisingly nice and after talking to him for a while he said he was going to try to pull one out at x games.

SO stoked to see this thrown in a pipe....

and yes i know, cool starry bra

thats insane, hopefully he gets confident with one and throws it at x..gold medal for sure

Also, you dissapointed 90% of the 15 year old trend whore shit heads on here when you stated that simon was actually a nice guy

His run at dew tour was so sick. If he can throw a dub cork 10 in there I wouldn't doubt him winning pipe.

he can be kinda short with people during competitions (completely understandable) but other than that he is a really nice guy. 

I personally think he is pretty chill and his sister is the shit honestly.

you would be surprised how nice pro athletes are.
most of the time they are really down to earth and mellow because they used to be us.
they probably only are standoffish if you are awkward and wanted to be all over them

MyNorth.com Video: Snowboarding Video: Olympians Practice Snowboard Tricks at Otsego Club in Gaylord



This is a vid from last year when the olympic teams were sessioning it. It is actually a lot bigger this year, and lets just say simon was almost overshot the air bag a few times.
