every one should call this scott fellow at 2 am and tell him what a doushe bag he is.

hahah scott I know you are reading this shit. You are a fucking dousche bag. Suck my balls and lick my turd hole. FUCK YOU SHIT HEAD.

 
Tanner doesnt need to change. Every sport is going to have emotional people that put it all out there when in front of the camera. People like tanner are the ones that push sports to a new level because they want to win. The only thing i have a problem with is criticizing other people's runs. Be frustrated at yourself, throw your equipment, but do not bad mouth other riders. They are free to do what they want in their runs. When competing you have to realize that you are subjecting freeskiing to constraints in itself,and if you want to win, you must adapt to the whatever the event sees as the most important aspect. Even if a run may be better in the majority of people's minds, if the judges are told that amplitude is worthmore than other areas, they must follow that.

Without these guidelines judging would become much more corrupt, because they could simply say, 'I liked that run better.'

Also, their does need to be more people within our sport that take a more media friendly stance

shit i hit enter on accident,

any ways....

yea we could use some skiers that appeal to everybody, including people outside of freeskiing,

but tanner hall does not have to be this person,

tanner hall has to be tanner hall, but he must accept the consequences of his actions,and not attack other riders when he feels jipped

Shadow7:

I never said anything about 'one more nice skier making a difference.' My point is that the media have chosen Tanner Hall as this sports icon, he craves the media attention, and then fails to act appropriately when he has the opportunity to be positive.

Btw: you are an illiterate 14 year old. Fuck off.

This is why freeskiing is special. Internally within ourselves we'll say tanner should have acted better. But we don't let outsiders rag on us. I think its good, because it shows that the freeskiing communitry is still quite close, and thats the way I hoped it stays.

The smart man does not know everything, rather the smart man admits when he knows nothing.
 
No one said anything about perfection. Acting like an adult instead of punk bitch is something most people should understand.

boo fucking hoo...who wants freeskiers to have 'poise' like a ski racer. Its something we are not, so why make us out to be?

I say props to tanner and fuck espn for not being what they want us to be. I am a freeskier. not a fuckin racer faggot.

work to live...not live to work.

work to ski...but only if you ski to work. The simple equation to skibumming 101

...i didnt do it

 
Yeah, that'd be great. Fuck ESPN. They only sponsor the X games. That wouldn't be a HUGE blow to the sport to not have them.

Good idea. We should have people like you in charge.

I read your post and I disagree.

I've read most of the post and I don't think anyone noticed that you can't be pissed at the judges in racing you can only be pissed at your self and the time you set, when in x-games it is just a whole different story, so comparing the two is just plain wrong.

 
i wrote the dude an email, and he wrote me back. this is what he had to say:

Darina,

Thanks for taking the time read and respond to my column. You make some valid and intelligent points. And while I don't have the time to address them individually I will say that I have been to the X Games half a dozen times and the U.S. Freeskiing Open since its inception. I've interviewed Tanner on multiple occasions and have written several articles in support of freeskiing that are never posted on newschoolers.com or the other web sites you mention. But I'm over it. I won't be writing anything else about Tanner and honestly could give a damn about his monkey-ass steez. And I guess that's my point. If that sort of punk attitude is what people associate with the sport, nobody else is going to give a damn about it either, including the sponsors and TV shows that make it all happen at the pro level. Kind of like Freeze magazine. So sure, I'll let bygones be bygones. The last thing I need is to be known as the guy who killed Tanner's career. He's quite capable of accomplishing that himself.

far too fly to stay stationary...
 
^^This post isn't about judging, it's about T Hall squandering an opportunity to properly represent our sport.

Haha. That response is so dead on. You little bitches want all the publicity but you're not willing to do what it takes to keep it around. Just shows you how short sighted you little teeny boppers are.

You know, you might want to come down off that pedestal, realize that you have no idea what you're babbling about and recognize that many of us don't want that kind of exposure. You're really not as big an authority on skiing as you apparently think you are, JackBach.

Authority? Pedistal? I'm expressing my opinion. If you want to disagree that's fine with me. If you feel like you're being looked down upon or demoralized or in some other way insulted by my OPINION then you have some other insecurity issues you should work out. It's a fucking opinion column. If you want to hear a bunch of people tell you you're right and be around people who are just like you, this probably isn't the place to do it.

Some people don't want that kind of exposure? Great. I'm all for that. You said 'many of us don't want that kind of exposure.' Who are all these people? Because I saw a lot skiers at the X Games who sure weren't concerned about being exposed.

I've never proclaimed I have anymore authority than you. If you feel threatened by my opinion that's your problem.

If you're going to be irritatingly arrogant, make an effort to avoid blatantly contradicting yourself... or, at the very least, try not to do it in two consecutive posts.

'' If you feel like you're being looked down upon or demoralized or in some other way insulted by my OPINION then you have some other insecurity issues you should work out.''

The following post came immediately before your claim (^) that you're not acting in any way superior, and that the problem must be on my end:

''You little bitches want all the publicity but you're not willing to do what it takes to keep it around. Just shows you how short sighted you little teeny boppers are.''

I have come to the conclusion that whatever your opinion, you're a complete idiot who can't seem to comprehend that calling people 'little bitches' and 'teeny boppers' might amount to being disparaging, condescending, or etc. I'm not going to waste any more time on you, because you've already convinced yourself that you're right on any and all issues. At some point, you'll hopefully realize that you're not as great as you make yourself out to be, and come down a few notches.

Dear Mr.. Willoughby,

I am a member of Newschoolers.com and recently read your article that was in the Denver Post about Tanner Hall. I understand your point of view but felt that the article and many of the Denver Post's articles on freeskiing, are biased towards racers. While Tanner Hall may represent freeskiing to the general public, he is not the only element. We have many rider driven companies and have one of the most tight knit fan/athlete bases in all of sports. The whole 'racers vs freeskiers' debate reminds me of when I was 7 and the whole 'snowboarder vs skier' debacle was around. Obviously that fiasco has passed as will this one but I would greatly appreciate it if you would report with a more fair and balanced mind towards freeskiing. Newschoolers.com is skiing's online community but remember it is a forum where people generally express their opinions more than they express facts. Interviewing Percy Miller for a Tanner Hall story was also something that bothered me, considering that Warren Miller doesn't film with Tanner. This would be like questioning Steven Spielberg on an actor that appears in other directors' films. Very irrelevant. Halfpipe skiing will eventually make it to the Winter Olympics, regardless of how Tanner acts after a disappointing score. Tanner is Tanner and I'm glad that he doesn't put on an act in front of the cameras and I will continue to buy the movies that he's in. Please know, that freeskiing is not another fad and is not going anywhere and niether is Tanner Hall!

Sincerely,

Mike Rogge

im hoping i can get a better response than the one above.

T hall's your better than average local. He's an asshole and a cocky bastard, but you cant say shit to him cause he can just plain outski your ass. Still, he should show a little more restraint in blaming others and just ski better next time, ganier's last run was money and thats all there is to it.

 
It is not grammatically incorrect to start a sentence with the word 'and.' Rather, it is a stylistic preference that has been taught as a grammatical rule.

I agree though: I wouldn't start a sentence with 'and' if I was writing for a widely read publication like the Denver Post.

J.D. May,

While I have tended to agree with you on a lot of topics, this isn't one of them. I do believe that the professionals in our sport care very much about the Xgames exposure and want to keep it. Look at the last issue of freeskier. CR and Pete O both talked about how xgames is the big paycheck of the year. Without it a lot of these guys careers would be hurting.

It's fair to say that Simon Dumont would have a sponsor and vid parts without the Xgames, but the Xgames halfpipe is the single event that has made him what he is. Obviously people do need the exposure.

 
^Obviously you're going to be all about the Xgames if you're being paid 20 grand to win it. That's not the issue. The point was, as a showcase for the sport, we'd be better off without it. If people really want to know what freeskiing is about, they should look elsewhere. As an event, I'd rather it didn't exist, even if that means a few skiers miss out on some cash. They obviously don't see it the same way, of course, since it's their money. I'd just rather see the sport well represented than see them geta cheque... no offense, CR.

here is a simple answer. let Tanner win, but dont talk to him. Talk to the good spirited guys who get 2nd and 3rd. Sean Field and Jon and Dave Chricton are all greatly composed and nice. If all he is going to do is act like a incompitent monkey then dont put the spotlight on him...

I see what you're saying J.D. The thing for now is that the Xgames are what we have and a better representation won't come along unless we (as a sport with everyone involved) provide a reason for better events.

 
well that was a waste of time

The bible is just literature and the church is a glorified book club.

acholcol makes me its bitch

some christian kid today: 'Get drunk off jesus'
 
we have to care about what tanner OUR FUCKING SPOKES PERSON SAYS OR IT FUCKING SCREWS THE REST OF US OVER LIKE SPONSORS or COVERAGE DO YOU GET IT? like it or not people don't see skiing they see an amazing skier who some how represent all of freeskiing

'kevin whyed nils pull you out?' 'Cuz i was touchin bitches.' 'No seriously why did he put scott in for you.' 'Scott doesn't touch bitches.'
