all 3 have quite different personalities. interesting. I'm stoked Torin is pumped to just ski and have fun but did that seem a little forced? Was that to deflate FIS's ego or to get a broader following?

I was wondering about that, didn't he used to be more competitive/stoked on competition than he is now? either way he's still a badass and I have no doubt he will win/podium at the olympics

torins run was the best, he shoulda won! the judges eat that dub 12 to dub 12 up but torins dubs where the illest! either way pipe skiing is nutty right now!

nope i think down the pipe flat spins are the most boss... but hey thats my opinion everyone can have their own, thats why its up to the judge and his opinion not mine!

all 3 were right dubs, no left dub. that's why he didn't win... still a sick run for me

Torins run was sick, and I respect how honest he was about competing (honestly because it blows)...but im sure some of his sponsors didnt appreciate his attitude in the interview.

Yea do your thing for sure, but dont tell the world you are sick of competing and could care less for the olympics haha
