He's here and that's the rumor going around Mt. Bachelor. I'd be so stoked to see him competing again.

T is the reason our sport is what it is without T there'd be no Tom or Sean P, especially Sean P tanner basically made his career happen. He is also doing well and very healthy right now, he's done everything that can be done in skiing and regardless of what he's capible of I HIGHLY doubt he'd risk his very hard earned health on a park jump at this point in his life. My boy fuax is the only person making sense.

Tanner is the most emulated and successful pipe skier on the planet. Do you seriously believe, now that kids are just now getting closer to where his level of pipe skiing was years ago, that he is going to put his best footage and most banger tricks he has out for people to see? Are you saying he still has something to prove to you? Don't get it twisted, the man is a beast. He is physically and mentally stronger than he has ever been, and to think he is going to do anything except dominate whatever he decides to do is asinine. Tanner is a pioneer and a legend in this sport, and young or old, he deserves respect. Nobody will ever approach Tanner's level in our sport with intensity, passion, or drive.

Competing at SCI or not, big ups for all of his effort, sacrifice, and hard work, and we wish Tanner nothing but the best. Good luck to everyone competing, cannot wait to see it!

exactly! and regardless, the skiing community should be promoting his recovery. you would've thought that FANS of the sport would want him to succeed? Apparently not.

^that's nice. absolutely no disrespect to the legend of tanner hall. but he's still 29. i find it hard to believe he's going to throw down on a big air jump.

hahahahaa age is a state of mind if you think about it really age,time it's all made up. 29 or 35 anyone is still capable of doing what they love at the level they want you just have to work and be that much more determined. No such thing as old.

tell that to his knees. tanner's going to keep doing what he loves. he's been in the game for a long time though and hard landings take a toll on your joints. i really hope to see some good big mountain segments from him in the next few years.

So hitting a 60ft cliff doesn't take a toll on the knees?

Tanner is going to keep slaying every aspect.

people focus too much on the age factor. that he is getting close to just being mellow. to tanner age is just a number and it doesnt mean shit.

I've always thought he was awesome. Except when he decided that he now has a Jamaican accent. That's te only thing I've ever really not liked about him.

4th place not bad. dunno if really deserved, but he threw down a sick 9 tap and was getting the biggest park feature air since his injury on the booter.

He was the first one to double with a double backflip. He then did two switch 180s and some other really sick stuff. His wallrides were the best.

First one to drop in and he stomped a duble backie first hit! then he threw some deep flat 3's into the wallride, and capped with a sick 9 tap into the massive wall. Not to mention the super floaty flat 3's and rodeos he did in the jump.
He was not doing the most tech tricks, but the attitude he showed today is not the kind of attitude and consistency you expect from a guy who comes back from almost 3 years straight of injuries. He straight killed it, lived up to expectations and even more I dare to say!
Props Tanner!

Such a sick event, nice to be live streamed to. Its basically just a park sesh but with some incentives to get people to send it. Loved the wallride to was a super way to keep it unique.
