Tanner versus simon

[N.L.]

this is a comparison of two cork 900s performed this year. simon went as high as a four story building, but tanner did his OFF of a building. simon needed a 50 foot tall QP, tanner had a pick up full of snow. both are unique and incredible, but i think tanners stomp from barely above ground takes the cake.

both were sick, both were historical, both were different can't compare the two.

[Malcolm]

[shabinka]

Tanner did one in one of his The Massive updates. It was quite sick.
But I loved both of them, simon's for the holy shit that is one of the greatest things i've ever seen and tanner's for the fuck yeah that just happened expression.

i just loved how tanner stomped the shit out of it, but simons was just insane. they really are to hard to compare. both shots are just epic

the "are you fucking kidding me" after the wall jib makes it that much better.

tanner wins. kinda like the last 3 X games?

 

[chickenwang]

what is this building drop you speak of?

not the wall ride 9 is it?

 

[AltaByrdSkier]

he must be talkin about the wallride 9

 

[BWalmer]

both were dope, but they can't really be compared, Simon's was sick just cause of the sheer height. Tanner's was ill cause it was SO technical. I just don't think I can compare the two.

This comparsion of 9s, is like comparing apples to oranges, both are round but totally different fruit.

 

[AlexMartini]

first off i dont understand why there needs to be another thread about this, second.... obviously tanner is way cooler than simon in all respects of life, being a good person, skiing, filming, etc.

1. From what I've seen, I pretty much agree.

2. I'm surprised and happy to see someone in the industry sacking up and taking a side. Usually everyone is always all "Oh, it doesn't matter, they're both progressing the sport" but this is new and I like it. Thank you.
