I think for the record to be broken the attempter also needs to cork 9 with a grab- imagine if simon had straight-aired that bitch

Pat didnt spin and he gave up after he had one bad fall. Simon on the other hand did it with fucked up ankles and a cork 9 tail. Compare

You're an idiot.

Pat caught the lip on the way down, and was taken to the hospital. Simon had a bruised foot.

ahaha. Simon has had injuries that people have died from. Bruised heel? Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it. I''m still feeling a bruised femur tip that I did 5 years ago....YAWN.

you clearly have never bruied you heel.....it hurts like hell, fells like its broken, i bruised my heel, and couldnt put a bit of pressure on it for 2 weeks. but my mountain was closing so i went anyways, with a styrofoam heel pad i made, and it still hurt like crazy!! you pretty much cant land a bit wrong or on your heels at all or it will kill even more. so stfu, and dont talk like it doesnt hurt and you can get over it in a day...it doesnt work that way!

wow those two are exactly the same injuries so your comparison makes complete sense! a bruised heel sidelined a buddy for a month and no one called him a pussy or gave him shit for doing it.

just something i experienced with my bruised heel was that it greatly depends on what movements you're doing and exactly how/where it's bruised when mine was bruised i had no problem putting pressure on it and flexing my foot upwards, but downwards or sideways and i would die of pain....

so once i got my foot in my boot i could actually continue skiing, but running or jumping was a no-go for almost 3 months ....

maybe simon had something similar ....

Simon's world record to this day is one of the more inspiring and awesome events I've seen go down.

For those that misses it, here's the recap. https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/content/readnews/id/2043/

regardless of how people see simon, one thing they can't deny is that he is one determined dude.

Simon is a beast. He came up to Squaw Valley for that Red Bull pipe a few weeks ago, and when everyone (all the pro snowboarders and skiers alike) were barely boosting out of the pipe for days on end, Simon comes in and starts throwing down SO hard, it was crazy. I personally watched him throw a double out of the pipe that was at least 17 feet out. Pretty intense thing to witness in person. The guy is determined, gnarly, and a forefront to our sport, whether you little pussies like it or not.

Funny how it's a positive thread about Simon, with so many views, but nobody is commenting on it because no one is positivie on this website.

bruising your heel doesnt feel like its broken, breaking your heel feels like its broken. boo fucking hoo, 2 weeks isnt shit. when i broke my heel cleanly into 3 pieces i was on crutches for 12 weeks. you have no idea what you're talking about, you are a mega pussy.

there's no denying that simon is a thug in that regard.

he also made freeskiing look halfway respectable when he went on the ellen show a few days later.

simon is a freakishly talented individual who also happens to have a huge set of balls. say what you want, he's pushed the competitive aspect of the sport for nearly a decade and he's got a couple absolutely classic segments.

Since Simon broke the record with a cork 9 grabbed tail makes it that much more sick. Even if it gets beaten it wouldn't be with a trick of that difficulty.

Why is everyone saying cry him a river? He got over his bruised heel and broke the record. Simon throws down hard, give him some credit.

Quarter pipe riding is a dying art in both sports unfortunately. After all the work it took to build that thing why not invite way more sick half pipe snowboarders to do work on that thing.
