Mark McMorris Triple 14 STOPMED! Video!

Helmets save lives PERIOD. Professional skiers and snowboarders are HUGE role models to a lot of kids... it is up to that professional how they choose to portray their image to the public.

Seeing countless head injuries first hand, I understand the importance of helmets. Just yesterday I strapped a 50 year old man to a backboard after he struck a tree... with his head. The tree won, as they always do. That man is now laying in a hospital bed with a cracked skull and he is lucky to be alive. Was he wearing a helmet, no.

There is no reason not to wear helmets... it's 2011, they make cool helmets. And to you and the other guy who said helmets don't do anything to prevent concussions, please educate yourselves and read this:http://www2.pocsports.com/poclab/medical.asp

Be safe and wear a helmet, it makes my job more enjoyable.

P.S. Super sick triple. Well done.
 
People need to stop responding to this dude, he's like an elementary school bully. He thrives off of your reactions to him. Ignore him and he'll go away.
 
oh my god that was so fucking sick. What an absolute G to do a triple like that holy shit.
Torstein aint got shit on that or that frijdo what ever his name was
 
Im not arguing the importance of a helmet, I wear a helmet. My favorite snowboarder suffered a TBI this year, You might remember he was on the front page (Danny Tourmakine)
 
And you should shut the fuck up. You're just pissed that I presented a valid point in your thread that opposed what you wrote. You probably haven't read any of my posts in this thread except for the last few, which were purposely ridiculous. If you want to argue my points go right ahead but don't come in this thread and call me out just because you're mad.
 
I can't believe how 60% of the responses in this thread are about the attire the kid is wearing rather then the trick, fucking homo shit man snow sports is officially a fashion show. Who the fuck cares what they wear, if they feel that they are good enough at riding that accidents don't happen and a helmet wont help them then they are free to do what they want.
On the trick, that fucking last cork occurred like 2 feet past the knuckle that is crazy. Never thought a trick like that was possible on a normal park jump.
 
Hey, you're a smart guy. I've been arguing this point for 3 pages.

Ya it so weird to see him spin that far past the knuckle. It looks like hes just going to do a double then BAM. The speed of the flips and airtime are just like a double. I think thats why it looks so steezy.
 
People here mix up things. It's one thing to be one of the best skiers/boarders - no role model duty here. But if you willingly expose yourself to TV coverage and take parts in competitions that are being broadcasted in a major way, which means making MONEY off the industry which means indirectly profiting from families and kids watching and buying your sponsor's stuff, you should be a role model. Sure parents should teach their kids not to copy what pros do, but since you chose to play along with the industry and as I said profit from kids' enthusiasm and money spending, I'd say you're morally obliged.

tbs, this guy rocks! Very nice and very off axis.
 
Ok, I was trying to resist replying to your increasingly moronic comments, but this one takes the cake. You not even 5 posts up proudly said that you wear a helmet whenever you snowboard. I hate to contribute to this shitstorm, but this blatantly hypocritical statement really just pissed me off.
 
THANK YOU! this thread is exactly whats wrong with this country, everyone bitching about what other people do even thought it has NO EFFECT on their own lives.
i dont see anyone bitching about hornbeck or delome not wearing helmets in edits
 
Do you not understand what I mean??? Are you that stupid? I don't represent every single snowboarder in the world. Statistically snowboarders don't wear fucking helmets! Go pick up a fucking snowboarding movie right now and count the number of helmets in it.
Fucking Christ everyone is so quick to jump down my throat.
 
This doesn't have to do with my thread, I've read every post in this thread. To be fair, the more I read what you write the more you seem to approach logical conclusions, so perhaps I misjudged you a bit. So I'm sorry for that.
 
Thank you! haha
Like I said my post have been getting progressively more ignorant because I am progressively getting fed up with the same shit being said over and over again.

/rant, im chill, no more complaining.
 
Ok, then I mistook what you said. It seemed very much like you were saying that all snowboarders don't wear helmets including yourself. I apologize.
 
The crazy part about this trick is that there are plenty slopestyle jumps of comparable size, this triple in a run would be insane
