It doesn't change the fact that Henrik is an absolute goon who is probably the worst person to put as the face of our sport. Skiing with goggles on backwards? Screaming about 2Pac/Biggie/ODB?!?!?! Thank the fucking lord ESPN did not give him an interview.
Don't get me wrong, it was a sick trick, I just wish someone else threw it.
Threads like this should be deleted. Let us focus on the glory and celebration of the moment, not look for a negative and attack the person. Go to hell.
I met him last week and he is the nicest person i have ever had the pleasure meeting. The guy is stoked on everything, literally everything. He just broke the fucking barrier for freeskiing.
OP eat a dick you gay ass ignorant piece of shit. Henrik is the one person who should be the face of freeskiing. You fucktard.
Guys I completely respect his love for the sport, his stoke, and his talent. I think all of that is awesome and I was stoked to see him pushing the limit tonight just as much as anyone else was.
ALL I AM SAYING is that I wish he would have a little bit more of a cleaner image and it's kind of obnoxious to broadcast that whole portrayal on nat'l TV as that being skiing.
sending all my negative energy your way because its clear that you are a terrible person. Henrik has done nothing but inspire and support fellow skiers. I am proud to have him as the face of our sport, I don't understand why people hate so much.
That is what makes skiing better. It isn't about training, winning, or being a jock. It's about having fun and being stoked no matter how people look at you. Henrik is a way better representative for our sport than Brown, Kenworthy, or some other jock skier.
youre being a square you square ass dingleberry, thats awesome edollos not a square like you, in fact it gives me even more respect for him that some people like you assume this way
If there is one guy I want to be the face of skiing its him. Yeah he is a goon but he is the most hard working stoked skier I have ever seen. He always has a smile and loves what he does. Nothing against Tom but if you know anything about skiing or watch any of the 4bi9 videos you would be disappointed in that lifestyle. I love watching dollo ski because he makes me smile and want to love skiing as much as him. Plus he is taking skiing to a whole new level with his shit. If triples weren't enough throwing a nose butter trip after he was already sitting pretty in first place was unreal
last year at dew tour i met most of the bigger name competition skiers (tom, henrik, torin, dumont, sammy, wise, bobby, etc) and henrik was BY FAR the most hype on skiing and the coolest guy overall. He was so psyched to meet fans and was so psyched to talk to everyone. He is by far the most deserving of the gold for big air and his butter trip will go down in history. i am a huge henrik fan and am so stoked for him tonight. drunk/thread
Can henrik hold a conversation without barking and making rap shoutouts? Don't take this as hate because I love the guy and he's one of my favorite skiers. Just wondering.
Zomggg im leik not a harcorez dick ryderr!! Leik omg im colon troll i haz 2 b teh biggest azzhoel on newskooturs bcuz i leik hate all kidz on teh interwebzzz
You wanna be the leader?? Go ahead, throw a nose butter triple and see if you can keep your cool. I know for a FACT that if i were to ever do that id be in prison the next day from freaking out and being too stoked. so fuck you.
Maybe you're just in the wrong sport then bud. FREESTYLE skiing is all about freedom of expression and I think Henrik demonstrates that perfectly, not only with his tricks but with his personality. Hes an incredibly positive and nice guy (definitely the type of person I want associated with my sport). Sure he may come across as a bit of a "wangster" to the unwashed masses, but he owns it and that alone is worth respecting.
To each his own, but if you honestly have a problem with diversity and creativity than you should probably quit freestyle skiing and take up something like football or golf.
Haha I love when kids post shit like this. If any random kid at the ski hill acted like Henrik did, everyone would point, laugh, and call him a fucking retard. Fortunately, because he's a pro, we can just attribute it to his fun-loving nature and the core of being "freestyle."
I'd say he's pretty far from "owning" that persona since he's Sweden, speaks broken english, and at the same time, believes he's a member of a rap group based out of Staten Island.
His appearance and obnoxiousness was so bad that ESPN took the cameras off of him as soon as they could. For fucks sake, they even gave Torstein an interview when all he does is talking about banging his snowboard.
Sorry I don't want to but I have to hate on that op, Henrik is a great face for the sport. Wanting to have fun, cares about fans, and just all around a good guy, plus he kills it. Who cares if he's "clean" or whatever the hell you said, don't judge the way he lives.
