Fun fact: because of this midget and our infamous Theodore Wallis (aka tod wallnuts ) there is no more JOSS. Long story short, Jon had a deal with shitload of sponsors on big milions that the events vids would be released through the official JOSS page with sposnors names and intro vid played at beggining. Well after the results came, our MIDGET and T.WALMART pre-released their vid to the net, because they were bullhurt their vid didint win. It made JON loose big milions on contracts and lost credibility in eyes of the big player sponsors. Hence no more JOSS days. also bear in mind JON organized all the lux hotels, food, filming etc. and payed for it for the athletes, this is how these 2 wannabes repaid jon.
If you unsure if the story is true ask any pro around.

Wow, that's a whole lot of bullshit covering a very small nugget of truth. All I'm going to write is that JOSS didn't end because Wally and Dumont released their team video online a week early. You're a fucking idiot.
The biggest asshat would have to be Peter Olenick... then again you can blame his heavy drinking for being an incredibly big douche.
And Dumont is a very nice/chill dude. Keep in mind that its rare to name a pro without one fanboy having a supposedly negative experience meeting them in passing. Take what you hear with a grain of salt, as proven fantastically by that fanboy above who appears to be caught up in the rumor mill.

lol rumor mill. As a matter of fact I was one of the people to have downloaded the Team America pre-released vid before it got taken down. All NS was pm-ing me for it, but Jon asked me politely to keep it to myself so i did. Ok it may have not been a direct reason of no more JOSS but losing a bunch of milions would indeed get you discouraged to make an even like this again. Who are you to judge ? have you been to JOSS or involved with organising it ?

How can you know anything about the story, when you joined NS in 2012 and last JOSS happened on 2010. Unless of course your are dumont/wallish behind a fake account spreading bullshit to "preserve his name".

Let me get this straight... You claim to know the inner workings of Jon's comp. and the reasons why it was discontinued because you downloaded an edit and Jon PMed you to not share it!? OMG case closed. You are indeed a legitimate source of industry info.

Everybody say: HI WALLISH. If you were on NS during last JOSS there where shitload of threads about it even from Jon... he confessed it made his lose the sponsorship deals. Again you joined ns in 2012, you either know the story second hand, pretend to know it or, your youre wallish.
Ask Mr.Bishop anyone they will all prove me right.

I guarantee you that the whole, real story didn't come out on Newschoolers.
Hell even when you're close to the guys on the inside of these things its hard to get the real, real story.

it's pretty close anyways. I don't remember where the story came out, jon might have posted it on his blog or Simon/Wally posted somewhere on social media about how they aren't coming back to joss or something... I don't really remember but it all seems familiar.

Shit looks like I'm not allowed to know anything about the ski industry if I wasn't on NS at that time. Damn I really wished I joined NS earlier so I could know all this juicy gossip!

how come the truth gets down rated? this is pretty spot on.
millions in sponsor money lost?lol i dont think so, but their was a lot of drama over it! the two mentioned americanas proved respect doesnt get respect where they live...
in reality, jon went to racing full time because of the lack of funding and sponsorship and gave up on freeskiing. but hes back!!!!

At the time it sounded like a few of the pros at JOSS were getting annoyed witht he amount of money and exposure that Jon was getting. Jon was all about the self promotion and pushing HIS event. I guess this rubbed some folks the wrong way.
Pros were seen as being spoiled brats when they complained about the housing or food. In all honesty they got all the free Max burger food they wanted- think McDonalds food, and then stayed in average housing right alongside all the other skiers- not luxury accomadations.
The pros also missed 2 weeks MINIMUM of prime filming season. So instead of promoting themselves through shots in films, they were promoting Jon and his contest, which they recieved NO CUT OF if they didnt win an award. Jon made mucho dinero from this contest through the exposure it brought him, and constantly directing the whole logistics of the contest and travel while the contest was going on instead of hanging out with the pros made him appear a bit of an outsider.
Jon began to view some of the pros as ungrateful. Afterall, Jon had organized the LARGE event(much larger than 9 knights) and was doing a great, tremendous, awesome thing for the ski community, but wasnt being shown the props he believed were deserved from the pros.
All of this friction made some of the Pros resent Jon, and Jon resent some of the pros.
then, the judging criteria for the videos was changed a few days before the deadline, and many days into the filming. this was viewed as Jon playing favorites and helping out his friends(Team Canada). I mean really, who didnt fucking love TJ and Chug. so when the films where shown and Team Americas video was the best by far according to the originaly agreed upon criteria they were understandably upset.
Team america thought that why shouild Jon make money off their video when he literally just took that money out of their pockets a day earlier. so they released their video.
I may be stoned, but that is about what i remember of it. #NSisTMZ
not really a pro, but i remember bryan gallant (disaster to death) coming on here a few years ago and being a total jerk off. i think he made a thread saying how he was done with skiing, and how he hated it, etc. He seemed like such a whiney dude. people would legitimately criticize his posts and he would get really pissed off.
not a skier but danny davis is a fucking douche from what I recall. he got super mad when skiing became an Olympic sport all because he fucked up his Vancouver dreams by being a drunk asshole. fuck that dude.
There isn't anyone in skiing as bad as shaun white, so I think we're fine. I've been told by my friends that Andy Parry was pissed and didn't talk to anyone on the hill when he was at Trollhaugen, but I can see why, he was trying to get a trick that was damn near impossible. Pretty sure that was only 1/4 of the story too.

I feel like that when many athletes take what they are trying to do seriously, they can get like this at some point or another. Honestly I like it, using your emotion to motivate yourself makes you a competitor, not an asshole.
bryan gallant was and is a super chill dude that shitty people liked to make fun of... the fact that he was going for that huge disaster 270 ten years ago got no respect...? no one that made fun of him was on his level, yet he wasnt "pro"... then he stood up for himself against people making fun of him... and now hes no longer.
andy parry may not even have an "asshole", chillest dude on the planet.

The resort must have ran out of pizza or something. I know some people that rode with him on the "tell a friend tour" last year and only heard awesome stories.

I dont know the details of this, but when John Symms got stiffed an invitation the year after "my friends a pro" came out so that Jon could insert himself into the funny guy role with Colby, that was a fucking shady move
i wasnt on ns for joss so i had no idea that it had all this drama. I always thought the money just ran out for an expensive, non mainstream ski comp in Sweden.

Andys cool. He coached for a year in PC and was very laid back from what i hear.

Oh yeah? Is that why multiple people were laughing at him when he ate shit and the announcer was egging him on the whole event to do it?
Bryan Gallant was a cocky douche who thought he was the best skier on the hill. He would talk shit needlessly on other skiers. Coming from someone who had many friends that knew Gallant growing up on the EC and a few who have hung with him in Colorado, I can tell you he is indeed a douche.

So you know a guy who knows a guy? Truth: CONFIRMED
I dont know why I click on these gossip threads, they always annoy me
My question is why is this downvoted 17 times... I don't know if the rest of the freeski population knows it but everyone in Maine knows that Dumont is a grade A dick. I completely agree

nah bro you can't compete in skiing, skiing to compete is 4 fuckbois and if you take it seriously at all you're a fucking skrub who doesn't actually like skiing bro

competitive skiing is just another form of skiing, like filming and stuff. i agree, seeing some athletes have passion after putting together a clean run screams to me that they care a metric fuck ton about skiing. I don't know why NS has an issue with that.
I mean I know that lots of factors played into this but I think since Tanner broke his legs on that TGR shoot he has pretty much become a burnout. He is still a great skier but he is no where near on the level that he was in the 2000's and as far as I can tell he is constantly high or hammered. So as far as fucked up pros go THall takes the cake
Didn't watch the video but those comments are so shitty. Simon probably works hard to film, and so to not want to is closer to not wanting to go to work than it is not wanting to ski.
