are there any pros out there you just can't stand? I've got a few, post them here. I hope this doesn't cause too much negativity, just curious to know.

JonMcMurray. Although he's not a pro anymore. But he's still an asshole.

I don't think I would actually dislike anyone.

I find nothing more frustrating in the park then when Im trying to hit a feature and the person in from of me is going too slow.

By the way, you don't know either of the pros you listed that you "hate", you only judge then by what you see on tv and one experience where you where in his way.

Probably first swiss asshole I've ever met. Sneaking in on jumps in Hintertux all fall.

Perfect opposite would be Markus Eder. Waiting for his turn although people in front of him were straight airing the jump.

so he took it upon himself to pick out a random kid on a wide-open trail to ski up behind and yell at? even if your story is true, you seem way to pissed off at someone who just screamed something at you while skiing by. it's also incredible at how many assumptions you made about him after a single 3 second encounter.

hopefully next time he won't yell at you and instead just push you into the trees because you sound like a massive bitch... i know my bitches.

2 questions for you.

1. How exactly do you define a "grown man"?

2. I believe you have brought up this incident before, and included myself as a very immature person. Could you explain a little further what made you feel this way?

When I first saw this thread I thought WOW, just what we need, more useless, endless hate on pros people do not actually know. But some of the stories are pretty laughable and I like seeing some of the oranges name speak their minds.

1. Well what I mean is one usually over the age of 14 would not normally would act how berman did towards me and my friend. So I would define a grown man as one who would handle the situation like an adult.

2. To be quite honest it was some time ago and all I can remember is how berman was acting. You were there for sure but I think I was just angry at the time I brought it up and called you out as well.

Me and my friend were poaching the windells park and berman told us to leave, which I understand 100%. Liability issues and its just a coaches job to do so. Someone could get hurt and sue windells for everything then bam no more windells. I did not argue back what so ever we just left as soon as we were told to do so.

We end up in the parking lot and berman and yourself walk by. berman said something to us again. We cleary could not hear him at all and then berman just got angry making little 14 year old comments. It was along time ago and I dont remember exactly what he said. I just remember at the time I thought he was so immature. being a real dick head for some guy i sort of idolized at the time.

Sure he was pissed for asking us to leave for the second time that summer I think. But if he was in our position. Broke, skiing mt. hood in the summer with one of the sickest parks on the hill, Im sure him and his friends would try and ski windells as well. We just paid $54 for a damn lift ticket.

I dislike how people are disliking Henrik. why don't you like him? because he wears big clothes.. because he is always stoked no matter what he is doing...filming, competing. just skiing. that even though he got free skier of the year and he still is the same dude just wanting to ski? or is it his own style that he has developed and not minded what anybody thought? c'mon man. i really want to hear your reason for not liking him.

I dislike how people are disliking any skier for their personality, regardless of whether they are Henrik, Simon or anyone else. They are a skier, they ski and that's all that matters. They all love to ski. 90% of the people hating are just following and have never actually met these people. (Judging on style is different of course and is a matter of opinion based on watching them ski)

it's the epitome of bad technical skiing. park skiing is bad enough already, but the hunched over, hands over knees thing is over the top bad. I like the way he skis and the tricks he does, but the hunching is just too much sometimes.

to partially quote quote a conversation I had a little while ago with Schmanderson who asked me why I disliked Henrik:



"It's a combination of alot of things. I dislike the image/vibe/whatever you want to call it that you get from them. Maybe I'm just kinda pissed because I really like them a few years back, circa Refresh. B-dog got me into skiing and it just annoys me to see him and Henrik being all faux gangster, wu-tang shit, especially because they're anything but. I guess it's also the fact that when I look at them for example shooting through a forest with open coats, I don't see them doing something cool and innovative, I see, well two guys skiing in a forest. Plus I don't like their editing (trivial complaint) and lots of newschoolers get pissed when I hate on them. And I'm a hipster."

So what you're saying is you dislike him as a person because he yelled at you for sneaking into an obliviously private park twice, then made a few snide remarks to you? Did you apologize after he yelled at you? Were you courteous?

Did you confront him about it like a "grown man," if you heard him say something and didn't walk over and talk it out, how can you expect him to act the same way?

There's a lot of things I don't know about this situation, but to me, it sounds like you're a little bitch who's butthurt because he got kicked out of a park he felt he was entitled to be in because he bought a lift ticket.

i love watching those guys ski, i usually hate the music in their edits and when they throw gang signs at the camera it just makes me facepalm really hard, but again i love watching them ski, but at the same time i love future spins too.

i have followed them on numerous occasions when they have been in whistler for the WSI and they obviously love to muck around.

Then i see kids in the park who i assume (purely an assumption bases on their clothing) are fans of edollo and bdog and they seem to have such a hostile vibe to them. I literally feel like a im been stared down sometimes in the park, and then you get to know them, and they are perfectly cool nice kids, so why the fuck do they act like some superior person? so i guess my least fav pro is any pro who thinks being a sick skier makes them better than other people?

see the problem with your explanation as to why he's a dick-head is dumb as hell. little bastards that poach private parks, putting the camps at risk of shutting down due to lawsuits that would end jobs and a bunch of campers' fun for the summer deserve to be yelled at just as much as any other stupid and poor fucker that tries to poach lifts. apparently the coaches, whose job were at risk twice by this self-admitted shit fuck, are now evil bastards because they're protecting a gig that's a hundred times better than your shell of a fucking pathetic excuse of a life.

yeah if he was in your position he would have acted and been treated exactly the same, except for one detail... he would have understood why he was being bitched at by the people working for windells and he wouldn't have bitched about it multiple times on a website trying to garner (lol) support for his mistakes so he didn't have to admit he's being a stupid fucking pussy.
