jon seemed REALLY cocky and sorta bitchy...

"Well last year they had pretty much the best early season park ever. This year’s really good too. Not as good as last year"

"Well if they have a big air and not a small air, which I’m assuming it’ll be, I would be stoked, but I doubt it’s going to be a big air."

"You know it’s nice when I see other people doing doubles and most of them still have a lot of work to do."

"It’s hard when you reach this level; it’s hard to find new tricks. You know the ones that I thought I could do, I sort of did already."

not that i dont like him, but thats just the vibe i got from him...

awesome article, but i totally disagree with the whole "if you're not grabbing it doesn't really matter what trick you do" concept... you can make a trick look really good without a grab, i mean i understand what he's saying, he means that if you're just hucking yourself around without style it isn't worth doing a double flip but i think floating a cork 540 off a big jump and keeping your arms in is pretty damn stylish and a fun trick to do and i think one of the most stylish tricks in skiing is a zero spin shifty. plus i don't think jon is being arrogant at all, he's just particular about his jumps and i agree with him that the "big air" should be actually BIG!

Skiing must not be that fun for Jon if he can only hit "perfect" jumps. I still think he's a badass though.

for me putting a grab in my spins makes it like twice as hard. the difficulty of ur grap is at least as important as the difficulty of ur spin or flip. imo.

love jon and totally respect what he has done and is doing for the sport, but im getting a bit jack of him spending every interview whining that noone can build good jumps but him.

Albino

i don't think he thinks no one can build jumps like him, it's just that he knows what he wants and feel more confident when he's been supervising the build so he knows what he's getting

Jon is doing so much too the sport right now. Jossi is a sick up and comer man, and Simon got a concusion while training to just letting everyone no that.
