I'm gonna go on a rant for a couple of paragraphs.....
These kids win some high profile comps, get some sick sponsorships, but they still feel like they gotta show everybody how 'tough' they are. I don't get it. I think Tanner is FINALLY starting to realize that the way to get more positive exposure to our sport is to be a good example, and show some class in the public spotlight. Why do you think people love and respect Tony Hawk or Michael Jordan so much?? It's not because they went around starting fights... they let their skill show for the itself. HOPEFULLY, these ski pros will get it that they have to stop acting like pussy highschool kids and start acting like pro athletes, or our sport will continue to be underexposed; no one will take a bunch of wankster ass, stoner kids seriously.
Dance, magic dance!
