this is the dumont wiki thread now
He was featured in the January 24, 2008 issue of a gay porn magazine on the X Games:
He first became recognized at the X Games when he was fifteen. At seventeen, he won his first gold medals. At age eighteen, he was critically injured in a failed jump at Park City. Which was sick! The video of that crash -- he plummets eighty feet to the ground -- became an internet phenomenon. Dumont admits he's lucky to be alive. He fractured his pelvis and ruptured his spleen, but just six weeks later he returned to the slopes. Dumont, 21, figures he's got five years of freestyle left in him. "Then I'd like to go backcountry and start landing in powder," he says. "It doesn't hurt so much."
In 2008, Jon Olsson and Simon Dumont announced their involvement in a new open freeskiing event, the
North American Open, at Breckenridge, CO.
On Monday, April 22, 2008, Dumont was a guest on the Ellen DeGeneres Show where he discusses his world
record setting performance at
Sunday River. He has participated in many freestyle events, mostly big air and halfpipe and is part of Team America along with American freestyle God Todd Walnuts, the Pretzel Man, the King of Afterbang,who recently did a 360 daffy, at the Jon Olsson Super Session in March 2009 and probably many events to come.
