But on a serious note it's kinda cool that he's trying to make a comeback like tanner. Just hope hes not as much of a dick this time.

I wouldn't say he is crying like a little boy...I mean, if that was you who took that fall you wouldn't have even gotten up, but again, I doubt you would have fallen like that since you probably can't even air out of the pipe to begin with.

dude shut the fuck up. i dislike simon as much as the next guy, but that fall was hard as fuck. if you fell like that you'd have shit running down your leg for a week as they propped you up in the ICU. his helmet popped off for christ sake!

i can totally see him put together a run with dub 12, switch dub and a couple of 9s, he just needs another good switch hit on the left wall after his dub12!

lookin good. its nice to see people actually backin him for once instead of slamming him on just about everything for stupid reasons. ive always respected simon despite the seemingly unanimous hate towards him.

I enjoyed that. I'll take Simon's "Competitive athlete that isn't satisfied with 2nd place" attitude ANY day over Tanner's "I'm the most fake person in skiing" attitude. I can relate to it SO much more.

95 percent of people would've called it a day after that first bail...

yet Simon continues to try to bring dubs back to his feet in the pipe right afterwards. kids insane. hopefully he won't injure himself again this year.

good to see him back on it. But how did his helmet come off? It was a hard slam, but it should have stayed on none the less. and he needs a smaller hat.

Never liked his attitude, whining when judges didn't score his run as he thought they should have, but on the other hand shamelessly throwing a double front superman vs double corks and having no problem with taking the win.

But, credit where credit is due, awesome seeing him back on his feet, manning up after a big fall, and seems like we'll see him contending on the top level again soon enough.

Pretty sure it's Stept. He posted a few weeks ago about an edit dropping with them. And it was Nick doing the interviewing.

I don't really talk competition, but we've already seen runs with three dub hits.. By Sochi that number will probably have increased, along with new tricks/variations. So it's impossible to predict a winning run right now.


Cool to see Simon back and dedicated as ever.

simon may be a dick....

but he has it to win pipe comps when he's back in form.
most boost on first hit in the business hands down, and nicest tweaked mutes ever.

I don't like a lot of how Simon acts, even though I can understand it's a result of his dedication to winning. That said I think he has one of the best styles in Skiing and arguably the best style in pipe full stop, though a couple of others are up there too. It's always rad to see his pipe runs in comps, they look more different than most, stoked to see him back.

Even though I do not like Simon Dumont, you have to admit his style is so clean. 4:38 is one of my favorite doubles.
