Dumont over the Hill?

He's getting a lil older but I don't think it's just that...there r always going to be pros one uped by someone else
 
he's definitely past his peak. still a sick rider, but i dont think he'll be as dominant in pipe as he was before. also anyone else find it strange that he had no poles during his pipe run?
 
He is 25. He isn't that old, nor is he past his peak. He had a killer season last year, and he will this year
 
definitely not. I dont think a lot of you guys understand how much you can improve as you near your 30's/ enter your 30's. its not hard to stay in shape at that age, the thing that holds people back more than anything is injuries, tanner is a perfect example. but if you can stay somewhat injury free, and somehow still be stoked on pipe comps after doing it that much, the mental advantage you can have is huge.

late 20's early 30's is prime age for athletes so long as you dont fuck yourself before then.

the hardest thing for him and other athletes is just the fact that its insanely crazy hard to stay on top for that long. in any sport most people tend to be on top for maybe 5 years or so before someone else comes along thats just better than you ever were. simons good, but better people are out there and he's probably not gonna be able to stay on top. he's not tanner!
 
Dumont isn't focusing on being the top pipe skier in the same way that Kevin Rolland is. He has other interests, like filming a full segment each year, and competing in non-pipe contests.

How do you know this? Unless i'm very mistaken you're not aware of what his future achievements may be. I think you may need the meaning of the word 'definitely' explained to you.
 
Have some fucking respect kiddo. Point is, Simon is a stone cold bitch that is way too cocky and can't take anything like a man. He was a kid with potential but at the young age of 12, simon became gay and was then malestered by his dad and was locked in a basement for 2 years. Unfortunately simon has never recovered and is going through intense rehab right now...
 
In a word, NO he's not OTH. In case anyone is wondering why he didn't perform his best at the Dew....

"What a rough week. 2 hand surgeries, 4 days in the hospital, 45 min of practice, and a contest that didn't go well. Hope next week is better"

From Simon's most recent tweet.

 
Yeah, I think I like Simon better now. After he fell second run on his first hit at Dew instead of skiing down and complaining like a bitch he skied up onto the deck, dropped in and did a dub flair. That's the Simon I like to see.

You my friend are a fucking idiot. Anyone who has ever met Simon outside the contest world would vouch that he is actually a really nice guy. Sure sometimes he seems like a whiny bitch on tv but he just has a crazy competitive personality and is not happy with anything other than first.
 
Care to elaborate? I mean, I know you're wrong, I'd just like to hear why exactly you're wrong.
