You know the olympics are coming when Kellogg's sponsors a skier... this could be really good for the sport, but it could be really annoying for us
I wonder what Thall thinks?

As was pointed out to me when I was looking for a reason to throw them under the bus like a month ago, they do sponsor the rev tour for skiing and snowboarding. That's kind of cool, but yeah, I don't see that video existing if it wasn't for the olympics.

Also digging that new armada logo. Blurr city.

This is what I said in the gear rumor thread. Armada would be fucking dumb not to give him a pro model. He is going to be a household name. And will probably win the Olympics. Bonus points in that he has a look your mom would like, and he's not a wannabe Rastafarian degenerate.

Who the fuck cares? Why do you kids care so much about who buys stock footage of skiers while giving them absurd amounts of money for useless promotional clips?

"BUT BRO, IT EXPOSES US TO THE MASSES, I CARE HOW IT'S PORTRAYED!"

No, you care how you're being portrayed... to gapers... to people who wear fucking jeans and football jackets to the mountains on the weekends. Fuck off already with this attitude that skiing is all about fun for you until it has to do with pro skiers that you jack off to under your bed sheets. Fuck off with your caring of who writes the paychecks to your closet homo-esq obsession with people who have nothing to do with you.


Just fuck off already.

I completely agree.

Theres just those anti olympic/anti future spin sorts that have still not come to the conclusion that torin has mad style.

It would be sick to be on Kellogs, he's definitely going to kill it for a long time, and will probably win the Olympics too.

The people that hate Torin just simply don't know him. He's one of the most humble and easily the most talented skiers of all time. his first video part at 12 years old:

His parents made massive sacrifices to get him into the sport and from what I've read they'd seemed to struggle. I hope he's cashing in, he deserves it on ability alone but it's also great validation for him and his family really going all-out to get him to where he is today

for some of us, its just another interesting little fact to read about throughout the course of the day, and does not dictate much emotion. I think its pretty rad that the kid is commanding that much attention. but please, carry on with the homophobia.

You probably just learned the word, "homophobia" and were excited to use it so I'll let that slide.

I think T-Hall is the only one getting butthurt

Ahmet and Mike are anti-Olympics anyway, so they probably don't give shits.
Tanner Hall will act like he doesn't care, but be super pissed inside

i just watched that eurofam episode and kelly is fuckin sick. I dont know why she didnt compete last year because she probably woulda slayed most of the older girls out there...

that aside, Torin is one of my favorite all around skiers, and definitely my favorite pipe rider and I'm happy for the little dude. What I dont understand is why no one ever calls him "Tater". My girlfriend and I have been calling him that for 3 years now and it seems like a super obvious nickname to me. He's gonna need something too because I doubt the American public will call him T-Dog or TYW and look what they did to shaun white. I'd rather be tater than fuckin the flying tomato. And there are still a lot of people out there who dont know any better that still call him this. Now it appears that Mr. corporation aka the man is looking at Torin as there new poster boy cash cow. Good for him. And he could really run with it and get that real money......that fuckin potato money dogg. I can see it now...a sponsorship deal with the Idaho tourism board,his own line of microwavable snacks, some kind of olympic medal/yukon gold marketing campaign, maybe even an outerwear switch to saga for a potato themed line of gear, etc....
