I feel like 2014 Torin is more like 2010 Dumont.

real question though. Has anyone actually stood next to Torin? his wikipedia bio measures him at 1.5m or
5' 1", which is incredibly short. Not hating at all just really curious about the accuracy of this statistic?

That can't be true. That would be shorter than dudemont and he's a strait up midget

APO is going all euro this season the skis are not in the Sammy series anymore. If you go to the website the team is exluding him from the list.

I think Torin's potential is greater than most skiers now. His start of his career is similar to T-hall's but his skill level is just as wide as Tanner's was as well. He can rip in the park and the pipe. He's not even 20. Dude is going to be one of best of all time. TYW for President

Sammy is and was a highly innovative skier - Doing many tricks before other skiers and creating styles that are totally unique. I do not see these same qualities in Torin.

They both however seem to be very hard workers.
