yeah ahha, they're jamaican. chances are they probably never seen snow before.

it's funny, I played on an all african soccer team at school, and I was telling them about skiing and they all like "man we've never seen snow before, or gone skiing" and whatnot. they though I meant water skiing at first too.

that was actually a really good interview. as hard as it is to classify exactly what freesking is, i think his initial description to people who have never heard of it was pretty spot on

he actually explained freeskiing in layman's terms pretty well. considering most of the shit he says is pretty spacey lol this was very well done.

The way he sat on that couch was so laid back and casual but his responses to their questions were surprisingly professional and he was definitely very patient with them. Good job Tanner!!

It was a pretty good interview, his constant foot tapping was a bit irritating though. I always expect him to start talking in capslock

I see where tanner is coming from though. I'm Canadian but have lived in the States for some time now and I find myself using American terms/slang that I would have never used if I werent hanging around americans all the time.

Haha, one of the first interviews in which a skier manages to convey skiing with some degree of eloquence happens in Jamaica of all places, and the skier in question is Tanner. Headfuck!

TANNER SEEMS SURPRISINGLY LITERATE AND NON-DOUCHY FOR SOMEONE WHO TYPES IN ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME.

KINDA OFF TOPIC, BUT ANY WORD ON WHETHER HE WILL BE SPORTING THE JAMAICAN FLAG AT THE OLYMPICS IN SOCHI 2014?

INSPIRED, JAH BLESS!

You have to be born in the country to rep it. Or have duel citizenship by parents being natural citizens, I think. So Tanner can't rep Jamaica. But don't quote me on this, look up the rules. I'm too lazy, lol
