Simon is going after a switch double....

[Chompo.]

So sunday i was at my little hill (valley) in michigan. When i got there i was told that the whole us snowboarding team and simon dumont where there to train for pipe. This resort (otsego) happens to have a perfect 22 foot pipe and a quarter pipe to air bag. After a few warm up runs simon started trowing switch dub cork 10's into the air bag. He was surprisingly nice and after talking to him for a while he said he was going to try to pull one out at x games.

SO stoked to see this thrown in a pipe....

and yes i know, cool starry bra

 

[JStrathern]

That should be interesting

 

[Mr.Fister]

could be a funny slam.

 

[Ski_the_east01]

thats insane, hopefully he gets confident with one and throws it at x..gold medal for sure

Also, you dissapointed 90% of the 15 year old trend whore shit heads on here when you stated that simon was actually a nice guy

 

[JosephStalin]

thats pretty darn sick

 

[Karma_Police]

99%* Fixed it

 

[Blurst]

Dumont is coming back so hard over the last two years.

 

[erejto64]

that would be dope

 

[BenWhit]

this is gonna be wild.

 

[belden...]

didnt someone do this in nz over the summer? Maybe jossi?

 

[leahey]

.

 

[a_pla5tic_bag]

his run at dew tour was amazing.

 

[JStrathern]

Yes it was, sooo sick

 

[sndyrvr]

Yup.

Sunday river represent.

 

[Ben.]

he did one in revolver.

 

[That_Afterbang=]]

His run at dew tour was so sick. If he can throw a dub cork 10 in there I wouldn't doubt him winning pipe.

 

[steezy.stew]

haha you're terrible

 

[Chompo.]

this is true.... Oh and hitting quarter pipes to air bags is fun.

 

[infuser]

i met him in september too at my ski shop and he seemed really nice...

i dont understand all the hate towards him

 

[SNOWPARKCHlLE]

sick

 

[A.Eberhard]

All aboard! Hope to see this go down in X games.

 

[ndye]

he can be kinda short with people during competitions (completely understandable) but other than that he is a really nice guy.

I personally think he is pretty chill and his sister is the shit honestly.

 

[Emma_Watson]

YOU TALKED TO SIMON DUMONT?!?

but seriously, he was actually nice?

 

[thebeesknees]

this, without a doubt.

 

[Mr_pretzel]

He really is.

I met him in åre last year and he gave me some pointer on doing cork 3s.

 

[jason...]

great, another trick for him to cry about not landing.

 

[TheClap.]

your a joke

 

[Crehm]

I have been wanting to make it up to otsego for a long time now it would b sick to meet someone pro like that.

 

[jason...]

you're*

 

[Mike-O]

Is there a picture or video of this thing? I'm intrigued as to how it works.

 

[TheHuggyBear]

you would be surprised how nice pro athletes are.
most of the time they are really down to earth and mellow because they used to be us. they probably only are standoffish if you are awkward and wanted to be all over them

 

[jason...]

im guessing its the same as the setup shaun white had with the halfpipe hit into foampit.

 

[KillaSeason]

glad to see him coming back strong. I really hope he wins gold at x this year!!

 

[Gknow]

sweet, let's see him land it in competition...I bet it will help put halfpipe on the map

 

[Ski..4..Life]

switch double in the pipe would be sick, just hope it actually looks good and grabbed and he doesn't just huck it

 

[Alex-NZ]

Yeah, a 9 not a 10 though. He's probably got 10s now.

 

[blatt]

sw dub 10 would be sooo gillin

 

[Sklar]

vail has one too, theirs is a jump going straight on the the bag and quarter pipes on the sides of the jump

 

[Blake.P]

his segment in revolver was really good. i dont see what is with all the hate. he throws down hard

 

[Toby.Dickson]

mike riddle and jossi already do them.

 

[Toby.Dickson]

nope, it was a 10.

 

[I_Am_Mod]

dumont really deserves more appreciation from NS ....

 

[Holte]

He didn't land switch.

 

[rewand0]

Thats cool that you talked to him.

 

[nellyyy]

Noah Bowman from Calgary probably has a better switch dub than either of them right now

 

[Ducky.]

That would be so sick...

 

[ace_]

haha PUNNY

 

[Mr.Gaga]

cant wait to see that....

MyNorth.com Video: Snowboarding Video: Olympians Practice Snowboard Tricks at Otsego Club in Gaylord

This is a vid from last year when the olympic teams were sessioning it. It is actually a lot bigger this year, and lets just say simon was almost overshot the air bag a few times.
