It's hard not to think of Tanner when you watch "Few Words" and see how Candide came back after his injury from Big Bertha 2. He quit competing in the park and pipe and switched to big mountain comps, (where the expectations were low) and focused the rest of his energy on filming in the...

Tommy E posted about it on Facebook. Anyone got the details? Sounds like a legendary session went down...

I just watched Like a Lion, and I'm wondering if anyone knows how T Hall is doing these days, in terms of pills and alcohol. He's responsible for his own actions, but that shit is tragic. I hope he holds it together and comes back hard. Sick documentary--Iberg is the man.

What's with all the Mik D worship? Sure, he had his moment. But he's getting more credit than he deserves. Eric Pollard brought WAY more to the table. He pretty much introduced unnatural spins and grinds. He was the first to do zero spins, and arguably the first to land switch in powder (his...

Is this an isolated incident or are other people getting messages like this?: hey can you do me a quick favor and 'like' this photo, it only takes a few seconds and I really want to win this contest! Thanks! Ill bump your karma as well.. http://community.hipstamatic.com/submissions/20424...

Spriggs' spins in the 'MURDA' edit were interesting. After seeing so many double cork 12s, it's refreshing to see it done corkless. Same goes for Leigh Powis' 12 in the EDIAS extras. Sounds like Sammy did some big upright spins at the Snowboarder Superpark as well. Reminds me of CR getting...

Both were sublime. But TJ's trick was more technical, maybe harder to replicate (I can't even replicate it in my mind)--you'll probably see another sw triple rodeo before a double cork 16.

Is there something comparable? A huge, high-consequence rail that skiers return to every few years to up the ante?

I hope he doesn't try something crazy and wind up crippled. Seriously.

From his ESPN post on the Snow Basin Dew Tour: "In the interest of expanding their credibility as authorities on winter action sports, the producers of the Winter Dew Tour nominated Andreas Håtveit for the award of Ball Park Rookie Of The Year."

Remember when Tanner had a leg up on everyone with his sw rodeo 7? He swept all of the major comps that year. This year should have been like that for PK with his back-to-back double cork 12s.

does russ henshaw have a spot? i'd rather see someone else win, but i'd bet on him. he's got solid cab 10s both ways, the double-corks, and the spin-to-win on rails.

What stats program do you use hotshot? SPSS is about to lose the academic market because of their licensing policies, but it hasn't happened yet; you act like it's already antiquated. R or SAS is obviously better if you're not afraid of command line, but your dis on SPSS users was just...

he beat candide, mark abma, and john symms at vegetate back in the 2001/2002 season with smooth switch 3s and 5s. also, one of the nicest, most selfless people you'll ever meet . . .

damn. still on top.
