I hate how people keep coming out and saying stuff like "henriks run was perfect" "henrik got robbed" "the judges didnt want henrik to win" etc.

Open your eyes guys, he slammed his hand into the ground on his last hit, the judges marked him down for that. I think that if he had stomped a perfect sw right dub 10 that he would have got at least 3rd place, maybe even won.

Can we please stop talking about it now? He didn't win. Henrik doesn't care so why do you all care?
 
quoted for truth. a hand drag is a hand drag, and none of the top three runs, hell, top 4 runs, had anything close to being a hand drag
 
I'm not gonna say that Henrik should have won, but I'd like to point out that sage won a gold medal with a hand drag in his run. Obviously to some people (Olympic judges included) a hand drag isn't that big of a deal. It certainly isn't a big enough factor to give dollo an 84
 
Yeah I dunno if hand drags are more acceptable in snowboard? I feel like scraping you hand is pretty easy so maybe if they feel the hand drag didn't effect the landing? I dunno but when you land switch skiing and hand drag, it definitely assists a sketchy landing which means it should be a deduction.

People keep arguing that he got docked too much and to a point I agree, 83 was a little low but even if he got his true score which maybe was an 89 or 90 he would've been in 5th, one step higher and when it comes to the olympics, if you don't podium it doesn't really matter.
 
His rail game was nowhere near technical and clean enough to podium. Joss, Gus, & Goepper slayed the rails way harder and landed their tricks overall cleaner. I love Henirk and thought he put down sick runs, but not as good as the top three.
 
this. top 4 runs were absolutely stomped perfect. henrik imo looked a little sloppy.

tanner, send me your paypal and i will send you the money needed for a functioning keyboard.
 
I actually agree with this. I think that his clothes looked so stupid. But his attitude was on point. Represented skiing as it should be.
 
no one did a nose butter triple. no one. no one can. trip rodeo is fucking whack. trained style is whack.WU TANG BE FOR CHILDREN
 
I think everyone misunderstood Tanner. He never said henrik should have won, he said that was henriks best run ever.

That said Edollo had the best trick with his gucci plateau triple, but the other runs had more variety through the rails and Goepper was doing some spaceman shit so he maybe should have won and didn't for reasons concerning the rigging of the olympic event to appease the russian mafia and their interests.
 
I think Tanner is just showing his support and enthusiasm for Henrik and everything he represents. I don't think he really thinks he should have won, but if he does don't you think he is probably more biased than anyone on here?

I was surprised at how little weight the judges seemed to put on rails. I thought Goeppers rail game was far beyond anyone elses, and his jump game wasn't off either
 
The title of the USA Today article was fucking gold... 'Dreadlocked Swedish skier wants you to know Wu Tang is for the children'... It sounds like a Cold War propaganda poster or some shit
 
i will say this about tanner. his level of stoke is always so high, (emphasis on the high). and i dont know about the rest of you guys, but i love people who are always stoked. thats why i like henrik so much
 
TANNER IS STOKED FOR HIS YOUNGER BREDREN REPPIN THE INSPIIIIIRED MENTALITY DROPPING THAT D.O.B. MESSAGE ON THE BABYLONIAN GAMES
 
I can't address the people saying Henrik's run was perfect, but I happened to be watching the final with some dudes who don't know too much about our sport. They were rooting for the US skiers (despite knowing the US swept before even watching the event) but after Henrik's second run they had the joint reaction of "WOW." He is an impressive skier.

People care because they want an amazing skier to get some recognition for his skiing, and that's what all the rukus is about. For me the way he handled and has always handled what place he's in after the event (with maximum stokage) is why I have nothing for respect for him and why he's so loved in the sport. That reaction, especially when shared by everyone like it was in sochi, is what's important and why this sport is so amazing.

So even though Henrik may not have won, I understand why people are disappointed. None better than he could be found to globally represent what our sport stands for: having fun on the snow. I'd just like to point out that he is, along with the americans, doing just that even without a medal. And that is a wonderful thing.

 
well yeah I'd say joss and goepper were pretty close and I'm still pretty jazzed that joss won, he had a sick run but I thought nick's was just better. he stomped the shit out of everything.
 
cause that's the bullshit. you're fighting for technicality. that's that attitude bringing the 'robot skiers' into the game. what happen to the time when a homie would pull a 1620 at x games big air to win ?

that style aspect to throwing down is diminishing. the sport is breading copycats who develop zero innovation for the sport. style has always been skiing's backbone. that stoke factor that makes our sport interesting. it's that stoke that brings audiences; simultaneously encouraging more kids with stoke mentality into the game; ultimately feeding new tricks; finally spewing innovation into the sport.

put brother's like mike douglas on the judging board. mother fuckers who know the sport. if the skiing is being taken seriously, so should the judging

 
progression, you dumb motherfucker.

what happened to the time that a switch 7 won xgames big air? oh yeah, people got better
 
wutang clanaint that a rap crew

with twice as many members yet 1/2 the musical talent than the roots

I really wish Tanner lost his internet connection forever and would just ski and have people film him. Typing on the internet is not a good look for him
