it's all in the title

its been 14 fucking great years!!! half of my life
but now it's time for me to move on
i'm quitting the pro mode style cause i'm really over all the bullshit with all the hate and all the fis shit...
i've trying to deal with it helping my sport in anyway i could like trying different style of skiing passing all the exams to be a fis ans afp judge but i got to the point even if i'm trying hard to help it i get nothing back
i'll still be skiing cause i get real compnaies on my back who still beleive in me even if i want to quit. thanks to LINE and SAGA you guys fucking rock
i'll still be around kind of cause i'm a legs of steel for life so you might see me in their movies or at nine knights!!!

but i get to one point where i have to choose a way in my life and where i had turn a page in my life. i wont quit skiing cause it's my life but i need a change i need to free my mind from all the hate all the bullshit and all the thing promise thing that will never happen. i love my sport but i get to the point i love my sport that i have to quit it cause i have so many things to say that it could be bad the sport on some big person in the ski...

i write this cause i have to say it

anyway even if you don't here often of me it will be even less often now i'll still be around but not in the way i was helping the sport before
it'kinda selfish but now i'm just going to think andhaving just for me and ski for my bodies who help me

thanks for reading it's just a story short of what i think

This. Holy shit. Fuck is this what NS is about these days? Half these kids dont even know who he is. Its sad to see a bunch of kids that have no idea about what they are talking about give shit to Lolo. Man I've seen the worst of the ski community.

Speaking a foreign language is very different to writing.

Also if the incoherent nature of the post was not the main issue, then maybe you shouldn't have made it seem like it was the main issue.

"As much as I think I understand Lolo, the incoherent post alone makes this kinda undignified.....This post just bugs me, because however true, justified or understandable his reasons are, they just get lost in the shit show that is this post."

You're right he is a legend. Surely if kids are allowed to chat shit on NS, then a legend like Lolo can say what's on his mind too. I'd say that's a good thing for NS, not a bad thing. I'd certainly rather hear from him than some angst ridden teenage kid.

You kids can suck dicks.

He doesn't want to deal with the bullshit anymore (the ski industry is FULLLLLL OF FUCKING BULLSHIT, BTW... it's not all rainbows and free gear and heliskiing) So he's going to just ski for himself and stop dealing with it? He wants a better life for himself and that's a BAD thing?

I can't believe this thread.

Party on man, do what's right for you. I'm happy to see you go if it's what's right for you, because you're probably going to have a lot more fun now. Good luck, don't forget to drop an edit every now and then.

In todays society, if you can't double or even triple then your sponsors are eventually gonna drop you. That's what I had to do to stay on the Moment team, I learned dub 12 so they kept me haha. So I think LOLO's sponsors just dropped him and he basically gave up, and tried to hide the fact that he isn't good enough to be sponsored.

Lovin this phenomenal logic from yoski... I don't post very often but it isn't every day you see gems like this.

"pussy
couldn't handle the pressure?"

"Like you need to tell newschoolers the logic or lack there of of your decision
its like you needed justification for you weakness
quitter"

"sorry dude if you are taking this as hate, you are still an awesome skier"

"and i dont want to see you go"

Damn Scott doesn't support you anymore? You were literally the face of their skis for a generation. That's like Salomon dropping Mike Douglas.

I want to thank you Laurent for fighting the good fight and doing your part to keep style and creativity apart of competitive skiing, seeing you drop out like this makes me really upset with the way the competitive side of the sport could be headed.

I grew up watching you ski and still think you have the sickest switch 5 in the game.

i have to agree with you dude.

how the fuck is anyone going to call out laurent for ANYTHING? we're talking about a guy that's been innovating since he hit the scene over a decade ago. i'm not even talking about style innovation; his part in skimatic had people debating the shit he was doing from a PHYSICS standpoint.

he's earned the right to speak his mind about the state of freeskiing because he helped define it. and you know what? i believe him if he says he's sick of how things are going, whether it's behind the scenes or on the olympic stage. he knows better than just about anyone.

and before these kids get all their diapers in a knot like "it's a free country, i can say whatever i want, freedom of speech bro, no hate" just remember that while you may have the ability to say whatever stupid shit you want, it doesn't keep you from looking like an ignorant little bitch. no one is impressed with your high school level antics. it takes absolutely zero balls to talk shit on the internet.

lolo - big ups man. best of luck with whatever you do. go make a movie w/ candide or something.

Skiing is now going Downhill.



It's still hard to consider our olympic sport as a sport... It's all about creativity, a different way to express yourself, And you are one of the few that made me realise it. Skier on the pro scene keeping it clean and stylé are like earlier post said, a dying breed... It's still a different Art in my book. I hope we'll still see some edit of yours occasionnally. Lâche pas ça!

And to every kid hating in this thread, you can all go fuck yourselves. A special type of ban should be considered only because you're ruining our community and leading us to nowhere, It's even a shame to have you logged on that site, and the fact that you are probably skier is even more discusting.

The main issue wasn't the incoherent post, whether you read my post like that or not. However, there is no doubt in my mind that he did not read his post through, and that just bugged me, but maybe it shouldn't have.

And I have to say that this thread developed quite differently than I expected, glad to mostly see love for Lolo.

In regards to the writing vs. speaking thing, I have to stick with my assesment, his spoken English is so good that to me it is obvious that the post was written drunk, or not read through at all. However I will admit that that is actually pretty unimportant.

funny how these armchair freeski pros in this thread hate/criticize someone who is arms and shoulders above them in anything skiing related.

i almost couldnt believe all the hate in this thread, seriously thought that NS would be a little more mature.

if toddy walnutz or harlaut posted the exact same thing, everyone would be crying and begging for them not to stop. but noone has respect for what favre did. his uniqueness was so refreshing. thanks a lot for that, lolo!

i remember each single year at the freestyle.ch, there would be two or just one "standard trick". like one year, its switch 10s. so you see 20 switch 10s in the finals. a few years later its a dub cork 10. boooom, 20 dub cork 10s in the finals. same with dub cork 12s and switch double rodeos. even the "style" section of the event usually boiled down to flat 5s (although that got a little bit better) thrown all day.

then comes lolo with an awesome grabbed screamin seaman flat 7 kinda thingy, and the crowd goes all silent. like everyone of those fuckheads seriously wants to see the exact same trick a fucking billionth time?

his contest results just show how spin-to-win dominates judging and it might have led to more creative stuff if he was FIS judge. you guys can watch your aerials over the next few years yourself, i am out of this shit.

sad to hear man . . . u do feel like your style and unique tricks help push the sport in a good direction. Maybe not so much in comps . . . but id rather just watch people cruising having a blast then in comps anyways. So do what you were doing before you were pro - Don't ride to better the sport, you already have. No worries man just ride cuz u love to ride again, do the tricks that make you happy and enjoy life!

hope to see video shots in the future still!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not saying it has to be a bad thing, I just think there is so much potential in the freestyle ski world, and the only way forward is to walk away from this, I mean we've kinda been stuck in the weed rasta thing for a while and yes I'd much rather watch a good skiing movie without the whole fucked up education of style style shit...

If Laurent goes off about FIS, he has easily earned the right to be heard. He's been legit since I can remember; and was a true asset in the judging community for as long as he was contributing his time and perspective.

As an aside, I still remember watching the live feed and being more hyped on your first 2005 X games slopestyle finals run than Tanner's, or anyone else's for that matter. If your ankle held up in the second run, we may not have ever seen the Charles Gagnier vs. Tanner Hall controversy, and I mean that sincerely.

I now have even less faith in competition skiing with your departure. That said, good luck with your endeavors.

These kids just don't understand spending a lot of time working towards a goal and not getting much in return. They're in Highschool, some maybe in University, they have that false sense of security, so much hope and think they're going to go somewhere in life, chances are they probably won't because they think it's easy. They don't think about the sacrifices you have to make to get to where you want to be when you've got some big dreams. Making it as a pro skier is harder than growing up in the projects, not getting killed and somehow making it to the NBA.

Keep doing what you're doing Lolo. That style is undeniable. I can definitely understand your frustrations though. You will probably start enjoying skiing even more now, without the bullshit. Better keep skiing with LOS though! Ignore the fools in this thread, so many clueless chads in here.

Nice to make these sorts of decisions on your own accord.  Love to see you didnt evolve with the competition style of skiing and kept doing tricks you enjoyed.  Afterall, switch 7's are the best trick out there!  With so many kids with the same style (or lack their of), yours seems to always stand out to me.
