First US Ski Team fight?

Ridiculous

We all know that with freeskiing accepted in the Sochi Olympics, almost every athlete will train their brains out to get a spot in the National Ski Team. These spots are limited, so I guess athlete's egos will start growing and begin to collide as the olympics arrive.

This time, we got the always controversial Tanner Hall who uploaded the following pic on instagram making fun of Walter Wood and his religious views or whatsoever by posting the following:

"The U.S. Team mascot talkin bout god know what??? #areuevenontheteamhahaha"

I don't know if it certainly was a joke or just tanner being himself pushing the limits, but it created lot of discontent amongst the other us ski team athletes and they began some sort of instafight.

The point is, that I think that this will star happening a lot because all athletes have their own point of view regarding Olympics. So anyway, just wanted to throw this out there and get to know what you think.

I don't understand this negativity. Like there should be no negative consequence to skiing being allowed in the Olympic except for butt hurt hipsters not liking their sport becoming too "mainstream". Like you say that the Olympics will take away from the film focus of skiing... Where are you possible getting the data to support that claim? Like look at snowboarding, it's been in the Olympics for awhile now, and I can tell you that That's it, That's all, and The Art of the Flight, still shit on any ski movie made, and both those flicks were obviously released post Olympic inclusion of snowboarding.

Like you are correlating recent ski movies sucking with increasing interest with skiing in the Olympics, well sorry to break it to you but correlation dose not equal causation. So pretty much all your claims for not liking direction skiing is taking with regards to the Olympics, has virtually no basis at all. All I know is that the Olympics will actually allow certain riders to finally be able to live comfortable lives that can be finally comparable to other professional sports, and in general allow for job opportunities and growth in the skiing community. I just don't get how anybody can be against that.

so Tanner (who co-owns one of Torin's main sponsors) says what ever he wants because in the end he is the one who sends Torin his paychecks

i honestly dont see why torin or anyone looks up to tanner. Hes just some fuck up kid who got lucky. I respect tanner hall within the ski industry but otherwise hes just a tard. he couldnt even finish high school and that shit is like the easiest thing on the planet.

Are you being serious? Man, check Like a Lion if you don't wanna go back to some old Tanner footage, but he was THE best. And I think he still got the skills to be on top of the field and podium in the Olympics. Time will tell, but "kid who got lucky"? Really?

am i?

where would tanner be if his parents didnt support his skiing. Paying for him to live in utah. Yes hes talented as fuck and pioneer to this sport but he is one lucky kid. His parents seemed to put up with his bullshit and he got lucky ending up to be one of the best skiers out. like iberg said in like a lion he is no role model or anyone to look up to so i was just saying my opinion about looking up to tanner like torin does.

yeah he got lucky. His parents but up with his bullshit and supported him while he went out to become a pro skier. Yes he is talented and very good at skiing but where would he be if his parents didnt have money to support him.

Its funny, because I think Tanner was just joking when he made the post, and then cause he hash tagged #areyouevenontheteam, some of the actual team riders saw it as T-hall trying to claim that he was on the team... and they tried to call him out

super funny...

So good to see someone like Torin calling out Tanner, he is such a dickhead. Coming back at a completely balanced post with "u maaaad?", he's not better than some of the fucking kids on here. Grow up.
