Some of Tanner’s skis had Red Bull logos on the base around 08-09. I dont think the top sheets were any different and they weren’t available to buy as far as I know

He used to get them added to the bases so he’d get paid during replays during x games. If I remember correctly, you used to get paid by the sponsor for amount of time you showed your sponsor logo during events like X Games. So you would see guys swap out skis at the end of their run for a ski with all of their sponsors to show the camera.

Wow, thanks for giving insight on how it has back in the day. I wonder if those skis would be alowed in the olympics. Felt weird with all the blanc helmets.

I don’t know, to be honest. The Olympics did ban Julia Marino from using her Prada snowboard because it “wasn’t a snowboard brand”

Didn't know that. I get that the olympics are supported by selling tv rights, so they don't want marketing. But the athlete's won't get money from sponsors, and they don't get reward money from the olympics.

i never cared enough to check on the details of that but i feel like i'm missing something there. even if i accept that the olympics suddenly sprang it on her and said she had to get rid of the logo at the 11th hour, why sharpie? they couldn't do something more professional than that? it's the olympics...

You can see a lot of them here:

God did I watch thad edit a lot, that got me into Mattafix.

Didnt Tanner get sacked by RB because he used pot or something like that? How times change eh..?

I don’t know. Wonder if it was Volcom, US Olympic snowboard outerwear, kicking up a fit.
