'X Games' I don't understand why all the skiers top dudes wave there hands around and talk like their black. DO they relize that that wannabe attitude is turning so many people away from our sport. The super saging is exactly reminding folks that we are rollerbladers. Sweet.

i dont think it turns anyone away from our sport? its an advertising method of creating an expression in order to gain audiences. if u ever watched the show 'Most Extreme Elimination Challenge' they changed it to MXC. its easier to say, and it is more talked about.

I agree. I wear a sleek fitting pant and because of it I feel like I ski really fast. With baggy pants you cannot tell if you are keeping your knees together and in perfect form.

There is a difference between baggy and your underwaer hanging out. COme on can't you see how this do rag, underwear showing, black talking attitude only caters to about .01% of skiers out there. We need better representation of our sport. Not clean cut, but mentally secure people that can complete a sentance when a camera is put in there face.

^^ best post from a newb EVER. I totally agree I expect this from tanner but SIMON??? he has now dropped off my list of idols in skiing. Its one thing if the crowd is going nuts there was just a heated battle head to head progressive skiing with 10's and 12's. then its okay to act like that but it wasnt. it was a horrible contest Id rather see something like candides earl exit cause he was mad he did bad then people celebrating an easy win. and tanner needs to show more respect for others... like looking in peoples eyes when they are talking to you and like he said ^^ being able to puit together a sentence. the only guys in skiing who show any humility (gagnier, olsson) have english as a second language... GOD idiots!

^ sorry I had to.

the best post thing was for sno-man the other guy isnt really a newb is he. and that is a sterotype. its funny most of tanners role models and idols which im guessing are tupac biggie and mobb deep just from what ive heard about him (profile ect) if they ever met him they would instatly slap him. I thought tanner was much cooler when he was younger.

^nah your a racist because your just another typical 'good ol boy' with jaded vision of culture thats never been exposed to other races and has no fucking clue. Tanner embraces hip-hop culture, along with cr and others. What the fuck is wrong with that? He dominates in skiing, fuck an X-games, he puts it down whenever.

The ignorance I see on this board daily is pathetic. Why don't you be and man and just say you want skiing to stay white? Your a coward. You are opposed to other cultures embracing the sport such as tanner does hip-hop. NS might have been a good idea but maybe mods need to step up and delete like 95% of the bullshit thats posted here everyday.

sno-man is dead on. They are kids from mountain towns not inner city urban areas like down-town chicago, detroit, new york, bronx, etc. I live like 15 min away from the city and its fucking totally different. You all know that if they went there they wouldnt act the way they do or if they did they'd be shot. P.S. -- Yes shot, ive heard plenty of gun shots in my life

both the gangsta attitude, and the straight up shitty attitude. When finch got second last night, he was happy and congratulated antti, when tanner got second, he started to get a whiny look on his face like he deserved to win. I listen to hip hop and don't need to act that way, I can enjoy the music AND the culture, but don't need to pretend to be something i'm not, because it's not my culture, nor is it theirs

honestly i cannot understand or comprehend why he needs to act so fucking dumb. tanner, a guy with incredible style on the mountain, looks and sounds like a dousche off the mountain. watching his part in Wski106 was a good laugh, watching him and his C-crew gangstas dancing in a fucking barn. tanner im sorry to tell you but you're running the Cunt-crew right now. rich kids turned pro skiers have no right to be so arrogant, rather they should be the humblest of us all.

Osek, your posts didn't make sense.

First he's a good 'ol boy who wants to keep skiing white... in that, you are implying that hip hop is a black thing.....then you go on to say that hip hop crosses cultural boundaries....if so then he wouldn't be worried about a 'black' invasion of hip hop style because hip hop is so multicultural.

How bout this...maybe a lot of us don't have an inferiority complex and don't feel the need to be represented by 5'6' thug wannabes. Thugs whether black or white or green for that matter have nothing in common with me. I don't need to act hard to be hard, I don't need to wave my arms around and talk tough about where I'm representin.

I'm from a tough ass city. I left because I was tired of losing friends and being shot at. I don't want my sport represented by someone who has no clue about what a tough life and being tough is all about. Tanner almost cried about getting second place for Christ's sakes, how thug is that? I'm over it.

People keep saying let them be who they want. Okay fine yur right again. But if they are going to prepertrate than I am going to call them on it. I listen to hard core rap. I listen to regge as well, but do I grow long dreads and talk like I from Jamaica. No. Don't you understand how stupid this makes skiing look.

Sure they can be who the fuck they want to be. But being tough and a bunch of wiggers really isn't who they are. You are a product of your fucking environment and their environment is not a fucking ghetto or wasnt a fucking ghetto. Jesus crist! Like all these kids said before ^^^ they listen to rap and reggae and hip hop but they don't let it consume their life. Tanner and the C-Crew aren't being who they are, they act that way because they're in the limelight of the skiing industry and its fucking moronic. Done.

They also acted that way because they are super inscure. Tanner doesn't know how to act. Like Terrel Owens. T.O. grew up in the getto with his grandma that never let him leave the front porch. He had no friends, just Football. When he got to the pros and had all the freedom and money he didn't know how to act and he still doesn't. His emotions control him and he ends up talking shit about others including his own teamates. And yes he maybe the best in the game but when I was in a bar with a ton of people when he broke his leg, everyone cheered and laughed ther asses off at him. When I was watching the WGX in a room full of skiers in Tahoe and Tanner lost the Super Pipe the reaction was even worse. THe comments were crazy. If Tanner could invisbily sit in a room like that he might think twice about how he acts. One other thing, the day Tanner gets hurt or gets to old, the sport will no longer imbrace him like McConky or Douglas. He will be alone with no friends and dropped, all because his attitude is fucking lame and nobody will support that when he is washed up. Good luck being a wannabe.

stop whining about these guys personalities

there's plenty of room for all types of personalities on the podium. We were tuned in to watch the skiing. The skiing was ill and the rest of it was entertaining. If you have something better to offer the world then step on up and show us, otherwise keep watching and stop whining.

'connects with the lyrics' hahahaha I live in the same town where Tanner grew up and trust me there is no fucking way you can connect with anything that gangsta rap is about when you live/brought up in this town. Must of been the hard life of Salt Lake City that made him become a real wigga, since he had to hustle so much to get his money and to survive on the streets.

okay, maybe he respects the artists and their lyrics. either way, he seems to be a fan. You really don't know what kind of hard times people face in their private lives, do you? Don't speculate that there aren't any, life is challenging.
and if you're from his hometown, then show some respect. he's the baddest skier to come out of of your hometown and you are not.

^ok, how can he 'connect with the lyrics?' have you ever listened to capone noreaga, or 50-cent. i can tell you right now that tanner wass never a drug dealer in the inner city at age 10, has never been shot at, killed a person, lost a parent who has a crack dealer and prostitute when he was 10, has never heard gunshots outside his house at 3 in the morning, having to duck behind his bed so stray bullets wont enter hit him when they go through the wall, waking up the next day to see police down the street and hoping they dont question you and then find out youre a dealer. then how can he 'connect' to the lyrics.

i do listen to rap, i like baggy pants, but am i gonna throw up white boy gang symbols at a ski contest and scream 'nigga' in the middle of maine to be cool? i dont think so

if tanner was a real thug, he would have had the c-crew battle the bethel maine douche bags over the gold medal, and left dumonts body in the road. but instead he crys about it, and doesnt even ask classy about it, in no way shape or form is tanner 'a thug'

I'm glad at least a few people in this thread share my opinion. I was laughing so hard at the superipipe comp last night when dumonts friends from MAINE MINAEIMNAINMAINE came out with headbands around their mouthes as if they were wanted and couldnt show their faces. They looked like the biggest joke I've ever seen. Tanner can barley complete a sentence and perhaps needs to rethink his education. Granted these guys ski good but THEY ARE ALBINO WHITE KIDS WITH RICH PARENTS FROM RESORT COMMUNITIES WHO WENT TO SKI ACADAMIES. Everytime I go into park city it's the same thing a whole lot of confused people embracing a culture they don't understand and if they did truely understand it they probably wouldn't follow it anymore. The only people I know who act right are people who grew up in somewhat shitty or shitty areas. They realize it isn't something worth embracing. It's shallow, pointless, and most of all it fake.

You guys are the most STEREOTYPICAL FUCKS in the entire world. Seriously. How can you 'act black'? It's pretty much saying that all black people act the same, thus stereotyping the entire race. If Tanner was acting like 'black' kid that was in my class, he'd be polite, funny, and wearing a sweater. You guys need to just...Shut your little bitch ass mouths!
