Where's that pic of Jon's nutsack when you need it. Someone should tweet it to the convo to give it some substance.
 
and other skiiers dnt have drive and passion? Who gives a fuck if Tanner thinks he s gonna win anything. The truth is he 100% will not be in the olympics, let alone win, its just as simple as that. And i honestly dont even think HE believes he will win. Sure he will try, but Torin Yater Wallace or as tanner calls him "Little Man" is a way way better halfpipe skier.
 
i do respect tanner and have met him personally, but i can see how he might be a little scurred of not makng it into the olympics so therefore he ribs on the idea of it so it makes it seem like he didnt want it anyway. i am against skiing being in the olympics shits the worst idea ever. it is a contradiction to what free skiing is
 
Trust me - not many people have the drive that Tanner does.

Time will simply tell who is right on this issue, and I will certainly go on record saying that I'm absolutely positive Tanner is going to qualify, and that he is going to be a major contender for the podium.

 
Quite being such a negative nancy and rooting against one of, if not the most influential skier of 21st century.
 
Tanner is definatly a better pipeskier than Torin, pöus Tanner shred´s pow like few others. Torin looks stiff and boring all the time mixed with some future spins.
 
SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT. Freeskiing is about doing your own thing and having your own style...........unless you spin beyond 12, then you are just doing "future spins" and "ruining" the sport? You are a hypocrite if you think contests are ruining our sport. There wouldn't be freeskiing, without contest skiing.[/b]
 
Come on Collin.. you are more intelligent than this. If you're going to say skiing is just an act of sliding down the hill than you wouldn't care if skiing were or weren't in the olympics. Saying fuck the Olympics is another way of saying "skiing is a big deal and I really care about it so much."
 
I actually do feel bad for you. Living your whole entire life wrapped up in one thing and being famous for it too, would leave a very very strange and delusional psychological makeup. Its no wonder you've developed a strong opinion you push on others that simply revolves around a liesure activity for rich white people. I would have thought going and spending time in a place like Jamaica would have opened you up to the world around you and made you a more accepting person, but you must have been hanging out with the wrong people.
 
yeah, except that freeskiing literally exists in opposition to contest skiing. It started because people were sick of the rigidity and extraneous bs that surrounded freestyle. So, technically you're right, there wouldn't be freeskiing without contests....because freeskiing wouldn't have had anything to free itself from.

What you meant to say, is that there wouldn't be an industry, pros and corporate funding if not for contests, but you're full on stupid if you don't think people like myself and thousands of others would be looking for new ways to have fun on skis if contests didn't exist.

It IS hypocritical to yell about the free in freeskiing if you're then telling people what freeskiing is or isn't, but you're guilty of twisting the argument. Most people won't say that spinning a lot is inherently wrong or "isn't freeskiing", they'll say that spinning as much as possible and looking to add a 180 to a trick is a pretty limited and narrow minded way to look at progression, and that the obsession with "progression" and out spinning the next guy has changed the sport, arguably for the worse.
 
pointless post.

He IS famous...because famous is a relative term. In the freeski community, or mountain, snow, or even "extreme/action sports" community, he's incredibly famous.

This is how stupid your famous "test" is: Ask around a BIG CITY who Ben Bernanke is.......I bet you the majority of people won't know, yet he's "famous" to anyone who pays even a little attention to politics/money.

Thanks for playing though.
 
Its all relative man. Think about it. Tanner is famous in the industry he has devoted his life to. Therefore, in his little world, he is famous. Which means in his mind he is famous. Im not comparing him to Kim Kardashian.
 
And this is why Tanner will always be a fucking boss. I agree, skiing is getting way too pussy and serious, everyone needs to chill the fuck out. I mean what is this, a fuckin Miss America contest?
 
he's just trying to get out of it by saying we all like having fun. probably didn't realize the amount of people who would see and react to this.
 
....and this is what happens when tanner tries to stop smoking. fueling the fire rather than burning it.
 
Let me make some suggestions for you. Ill dumb them down though because you lack the education most "retards" on this site have already received. In many movies and interviews you have complained about the hardships you have been through. While I realize your life hasn't been easy, I also realize many of your hardships are ski and injury related. Those hardships wouldn't be hardships if you weren't so obsessed with one single thing and weren't so obsessed with your crazy little world. Again, Im not trying to say things have been easy, Im just trying to say if you opened your mind up to the actual world around you, which exists, you may realize that your problems are better able to handle. Maybe instead of ragging on kids who ski on an olympic team (which is of no importance to anyone but you), you could go down to a homeless health clinic and volunteer with some patients. Maybe you could go travel in a few Asian countries and help teach english. Maybe you could go to Africa and help deliver medicine to impoverished rural families. I dont know there are many things, but I think you would have an easier time with the media, newschoolers, and your own life if you opened up your mind a little bit.

Anyway, you're a great skier Tanner. I just think we all get a little sick of media mishaps!
 
I got like 3 sentences in and wanted to tell you to STFU already.

Skiing is Tanner's life. He is going to be obsessed with skiing, thats what makes him one of the best in the world.

This thread has nothing to do with Tanner needing to go feed starving babies in Africa. Why dont you move to Africa and help the needy out.
 
why is this such an issue?

T is just making fun of some kid pushing the sport in the totally wrong direction

kids need to grow up and stop they bitchin
 
Oh of course Ill finish school first. Couple years for me, then a couple years for Africa and Ill be on my way. Anyway, no disrespect to Tanner. Just hate to see when people turn their passions into a constant controversial social media shit show. There are better ways to express the passion!!!
 
Big ups to torin wallice for calling him out on that. Standing up against one of my heros would be tuff, kid's got some courage.
