JOI in US?

[DFA79]

I've heard rumors that Jon is going to have a comp similar to the JOI in the US nxt yr. T or F?

I hope so, I would book a trip to see that, I would be more stoked on it than the X-Games. I think it would be ill if they

did a slopestyle as well.

 

[powsurfer]

I heard that too. It makes sense w Oakley being a major event sponsor and being a US based company. An event like that would be sooo dope.

i dont think it would be cool because the whole town where he lives goes to see it. they worship him. most ski towns in the US would have 40 year old men in one pieces with their kids going "oh lord, look at those spins" it would be like an aerials comp, plus the people watching wouldn't have a clue

you have to understand hes a national figure, and thats why they do this

i say keep it in sweden (or wherever it is)

 

[emopoppins]

which is the exact same with the candide invitational, they love him. wouldn't that be weird to have the candide invitational in the US.

exactly

^i agree

 

[mariob]

this would be amazing

 

[A_T_K]

dude if they brought it to breck or whistler i think a few townsfolk would show

Just read this: http://www.freeskier.com/freeskier/news.php?action=load_story&news_id=978

 

[japie99]

it says a JOI in the us not 'the' JOI...

If he meant 'the' tho, then I would really dislike him for selling himself out. The nation loves him...

hah t or f are we sposed to circle one and sned u a note back? reminds me of like 4th grade notes

I don't know if you can own another ski town like Jon gets Are during his event. Especially in the US.

 

[zylstra]

yah i know

i want to bribe one of the skiers into lending me their key to the city so that i can dominate for a day. in sweden.

 

[Edward.]

that just wont be the same then

 

[kiwi_as]

i don't think hes doing another one. i remember hearing somethng along those lines out of Jons mouth in an interview on th JOI footage.

 

[ScrappyJoeYoung]

ohh that would be soo sick, i would so go to that.

 

[N.Diddy]

that would be sooo sick

 

[Billy_B]

i hope it is true. if it is true is going to be sick

 

[dave44]

man bring it to whistler or breckenridge would be soo sick

 

[i+am+ghetto]

yeah.. but it will be the "simon dumont invitational".. a superpipe, everybody will get 4hits and spin as much as possible...

 

[Giv_Clothing]

If he did it here in the states it would probably get as many folks as the Icer Air got but the jump would be much better and safer and people would probably get super stoked on it....this is a really long run on sentence.

 

[holyDINOSAURS]

i think that would suck.. keep it in are. thats where it started, nothings going to beat that

 

[-justice-]

it'd be sick but it wouldn't be the same magnitude as the JOI in Are. Jon is a superstar in Sweden but in the US he's just another freeskier, albeit one of the best.

 

[shralpingthegnar]

PLEASE lord yes

 

[Black-Bandanna]

That would be so sick. I hope it's true and not just rumors.
