I just stumbled upon this.... it's funny how unaccustomed the rest of the sports world is to free skiing

Well tbh it looked like he would have been able to stomp his first switch right dub 10, but his saggy pants prevented him from twisting his lower body around to land...

It's not the world being unaccustomed to free skiing, it's henrik wearing his pants way below his ass. They did look like they were falling off

If you saw the slowmo you could tell he was indecisive on the last 180, he would have crashed with or without supreme levels of baggyness.

BBC have a similar thing...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/winter-olympics/26167752

Although it's not available outside the UK...

"Sweden's Henrik Harlaut, wearing low-slung ski pants, falls in the men's ski slopestyle qualification.

BBC commentators Ed Leigh, Tim Warwood and Murray Buchan describe the dreadlocked skier as looking like an "octopus" and wonder if his low-slung pants caused his fall."

Yeah yeah I know, it was a joke. I'm pretty sure pros don't wear clothes that hinder them in an Olympics final...

Nice and professional. That kid needs to grow up, for real. As much a I like Henrik. The kid needs to grow the fuck up, especially if he is going to be competing in the Olympics.
He looks like a complete moron. With the dreads, and ass hanging out of his pants.
Needs a snow enema with the way he wears his pants.
All I know is that if I wore my pants like that (at his age) I would have a stern talking to/asswhooping by my old man.
The kid needs a freaking haircut, and properly sized outwear, and for the love of GOD stop saying the word ill, or illest every time he speaks.

He's a grown ass man he can do what ever the hell he wants. Don't tell people how to live their lives. Just cause he isn't linke everyone else dosent mean he should change. His unique personality and looks are fucking awsome if you ask me. He has without a doubt the best attitude in all of skiing.

His oversized pants brought him down. That's not so stylish Henrik!

Freeskiing = looking like a complete fool in front of the whole world?
Sagging pants originate from prison where inmates are not allowed to wear belts.
Look, I like Henrik. He slays. And seems to be a really good person.
As much as I don't like this, the world and society is very visual. How you look is a general representation of who you are. Kinda like going into a job interview wearing a hoodie.
He is skiing a the Olympics, no one wants to see his ass hanging out, and pants down to his knees.

"I've got suspenders" Harlaut said. "So they're always secure."

And we should care why exactly? Henrik didn't break any rules, and it's called freeskiing, the guy should be allowed to do as he pleases so long as he plays by their rules, which he did. If we really start worrying about criticism from outside the freeskiing world, then what is this sport about? Go out and have fun on the snow guys.

that is just his style, personal expression. people should be able to dress how ever the fuck they want. it obviously doesn't hinder his riding ability as evident in any other slopestyle or big air event he has done in the last few years.

i think his outfit compliments the way he rides, i mean lets be honest it would be weird to see that Tribondeau guy doing nose butters and presses all over the place. thats not really the same style. i think all sports need a Henrik in them.

Why waste your time caring? These people on Yahoo are dumb as dirt and more aware of this then what is actually happening in the world.

People like that remember dumb headlines like "Skier almost looses pants", and then flip out "OMGGG! He needs to grow up!". While news stories like the UK using US drones to kill X amounts of civilians wont be read/remembered by these idiots. Or for that matter they wont read anything of substance and jump on dumb news stories that involves Kanye West, or Miley Cyrus.

What I took out of the whole series of images - He slammed, and had a huge smile while he was on the ground. That's Henrik for you. I don't see how any of you people could have anything against the guy. He loves what he does and who gives two shits if he does it wearing large or his signature 4XL outerwear. Get over it.

I want to slap the living shit out of you right now. If you care about everyone looking professional and orderly go play golf, you picked the wrong sport.
This has to be a troll attempt because I'm convinced no one can be as dumb as you made yourself seem.
Henrik kills if and looks raw when he skis, and that's his look, so who the fuck cares.
I could equate what you just said to you being concerned with what an average guy walking around is wearing. The point is that it doesn't concern you, nor will it ever, because its freeskiing and not everyone needs to have jock-steeze.

The people who read/commented on that are the kind of people who only read news articles with headlines like 15 ____ that you didn't _____ . So I agree with Andy.

So epic people are fascinated by it. I used to sag my pants like a mother fucker when I was younger. That shit was tough back in the day when suspenders were not the trend.

Funny how I got older and got sick of worrying about my sag levels and just year my pants proper now. I can ski much better now also haha.

When Henrik pulls his pants up he will be doing quads no doubt

oh no you have to change to confirm with societies morals and standards since it's now an olympic sport. My mum who has never seen him before said he looked funny and loved his individuality and loved the fact that he was always smiling, he's actually one of the best reps for our sport as he's always smiling and has the best attitude towards skiing

I agree with Andy. the people freakin out are the ones that probably watch hours of mindless tv, and that's where they get their thrills. that link stupid stories on Facebook and change the channel when an important story is being shared.

There is only one sensible explanation for Henrik's pants; he is stopping his legs from getting into a wide stance.so he always lands nice and tight... that or we can go to not giving a fuck
