Best pipe skiier in north america

then you didn't watch the xgames this year.

Also Tufflemire did it like 3 years ago, in a one piece that he traded with a tourist for.
 
what's with all this tufflemire talk. He has no style that i've seen anyway. I mean the pics i've seen of him standing completely straight on rails is what influenced me to get low and look good on rails. My goal was to look the opposite of him. He can do some sweet penciled out moves though. He's probably a cool guy, i don't know. Best pipe skier? no.
 
how many 1260's in the pipe have you done?

I was at the WSI the year he won, it was pretty fucken nuts to see in person.
 
who cares, some kids show up some days, and others dont feel it. I saw hayward throwing 1260's on the first hit in Squaw, and re-watched it on my footage, and he had more steeze than dumont, and it was first hit.

Pipe skiing is so hard to judge, someone like Stefan Thomas's run is so much harder than simons, considering he does entirely switch runs, where as simon stomps big tricks, while spinning one way, with grabs in 2 out of 4 hits. In my opinion Dumont has the best tricks, but Other skiers put together a "better" run overall with grabs and style.

As much as it sucks, skiing is all about polotics, Dumont/Tanner will almost always win because they're known to the genral public, and draw way more attention than if Colby or if John Symms won. People recognize Target, Red Bull, and Oakley as regular everyday companies, another reason why certain athletes win. Yes they're still talented, but names do have an influence on the publics opinion.
 
Think about it, who isn't going to pencil a twelve in the pipe. Tuffles has the classic old school style to him, some park rats just can't understand that.
 
i think its a tie:

stefan thomas because he is so smooth

turpin because of his switch

and hibbert beacuse of his innovation
 
Stefan Thomas fukin Kills shit his 3 s 1st hit are sooo sick its soo hard to do that shit that big.... and Lolo Fauvre is tehman in pipe he should have beaten tanner lastyear at X tanner did the same run over and over lame...
 
well tanner and dumont of course.

they are just amazing.

sammy isnt too bad.

but i would go with dumont overall..he gets so much higher out than anyone else
 
yeah but you gotta realize tuffy is a giant, a behemoth, super tall guy back 3 yrs ago throwing 12's at copper was fucking sick, and simon did pencil his 12's at first. he still kinda does, but he gets ina qucik tail grab now.tuff is sick and hes a fun guy to hang around, never forget last years chinese downhill last day.
 
anyrun of dumonts without the 12 i think is always supper dope he goes crazyyy high on every hit...so that...in my mind...mackes him the best...in my opinion

...dont you loves the 3dot's
