The reason I was so bummed (as many of you were) when Tom didn't make the Olympics was obviously due to his history in skiing and how he came up. The way Tom came up through skiing, his filming career and attitude about the sport makes him seem like a skier. Thinking about athletes like Goepper and Brown who are constantly training, have coaches all around them, never put out a segment other than at a park shoot. It just feels like a completely different sport to me. It would be a bummer if the world only got to see that side of skiing.
So thank god Henrik is going to the Olympics. A skier who is so incredibly knowledgable about the history of skiing, has so much respect for the pioneers. (I highly suggest you read Downey's article on him if you havent) Goes out and absolutely slays it with Phil filmingsome of the most creative skiing and truly inspiring the youth. So when Henrik is at the top of the course wearing ridiculously over sized clothing, using skis that actually go above his chin and not giving the slightest fuck about what anyone thinks and having the most fun out of any competitor, I will be so fucking hyped.
