If Skiing Superpipe becomes an Olympic event...

All the jibber rats need to clean up their gangsta bullshit. I know superpipe in the Olympics is a hot topic in itself, but the announcers mentioned that Tanner wanted to see it in the Olympics (who knows if they just said that or he really does). But every shot on the camera and half the interviews were these kids thinking they are the shit, flashing signs etc. If skiing pipe goes to the world stage, these antics can't go along with it.

snowboarding was the cool thing to do way before it was in the olympics. and now it seems as though snowboarding is dying down a little and things are evening up between skiing and snowboarding, either is just as cool.

I don't deny there are bad things in the US right now, hell, 51% of the country to be exact. But god damnit, our country being fat is NOT a problem. I do't give a shit how fat people are. hell, fat kids are harder to kidnap, that means our country is safer.

Whoever said you cant take the ghetto out of tanner...he lives in PARK CITY. HE IS A WHITE BOY WHO WAS RAISED IN ANOTHER SKI TOWN. Tanner hall is not ghetto. Tanner hall likes to THINK he is ghetto. Thanks.

^ no, the Olympics no longer has introductory or 'demonstration' events. You are either in or out. The only way for it to get in the Olympics is for FIS to push it in, since they are the only governing body in skiing that the IOC recognizes (in fact many people in FIS are also in the IOC). This is why Tanner and many of the pros are now doing FIS events. First the FIS events have to become succesful, if that happens, then FIS will probably try to put it in the Olympics.

I heard some skiers wouldnt do FIS events because they dont want it to turn into freestyle where FIS tells you a certain way to do every trick. FIS looks less at height and more at style and consistancy.

well worrying less about height and more about style is what everyone seemed to want out of the xgames judges.

who cares if peolple are posers. Just let them be. Don't worry about others and what they think. Who cares if our sport is mainstream. Just ski for fun, not to try and be a bad ass all the time. if this post didn't make sense, its cause I just had shoulder surgery, nd am high on T 3's.

The reason why I was under the impression is because my friend had an invitation to represent united states, along with a number of the pros to start going out to switzerland and a few other places to train in halfpipe. They had already gone, and the FIS had supported it. I was told it was for the next winter olympics. But who knows, that effort may have stopped there and not gone anywhere past it.. which could be why they are now pushing for 2010.

for one i am definitly not looking forward to it being in the olympics...but if it goes it goes. however, i think that skiers shouldnt try to conform to what these people want. flash whatever hand signs you want yo

it would be cool to see it in the olympics, but I'd have to say, skiers really need to step it up in the pipe. Looking at pipe right now, it wouldn't be too hard for any young up and comer to make it by skiing pipe

I agree with Jarrett. I thought for sure the pipe was going to be an event in 2010 at whistler.

What Lanks said about skiercross getting in before pipe is true...at the moment. This is because FIS world Cup skiercross events are succeeding right now, therefore FIS is motivated to submit that sport to the IOC. However... if all of the top pros start doing the FIS World Cup pipe events, making it a credible circuit and pulling in crowds, then FIS may decide to move forward with pipe as well. So it truly is in the hands of the athletes at this point.

danny kass won the silver and was under the impression that he liked the reefer just as much as tanner, so it shouldnt be a big problem,
