Why doesn't T-hall ride his signature skis?

[TheQuailman]

In most of his pics he's ridin the AR5's

i can understand that he needs different skis for different stuff but i almost never see him rokin the t-hall sigs

 

[-nija-]

He did last year in the pipe, but now he has pipe cleaners soo yeah. He also used them in some clips of wski106. The ar5 and the thall are practicly the same ski, the thalls are just softer in the tips and tails.

 

[squibble]

lots of people dont ride there pro model 24/7, the t-hall is super soft, maybe too soft for really big hits??

 

[-nija-]

ive seen kids use thalls on like 50-60ft jumps and they work just fine.

 

[ISkiSwitch]

Yea, he's been rocking the pipe's for this season probably cause that's what he want's to get better at. He couldn't stnad just winning slopestyle.

 

[A_E]

he mostly does bc stuff so he doesnt use them,i geuss he uses them for urban casue he doesnt do park

 

[TheQuailman]

I just find it kinda funny cause I like never see him use them

i can understand for backcountry he wouldnt

 

[kozy]

i noticed he rides the ar5 alot to

 

[Snowcase]

mostly backcountry? maybe this past year because of his broken ankles he was only able to shoot for a short time and they usually film alot of park after the mountains are closed (read up on your freeskier) but in every other movie he's been in I have seen him hit up park. and ar5's would hardly be called a BC ski

 

[ragadytrees]

i have only seen one pick of him riding them and that was in pipe but maby he dousant like to ride them in other places but pipe

 

[potatofarmer]

the only time that I saw him ride them in pipe was in competition.

 

[FUUUCK]

ye its funny in TBC when he's domniating all these urban rails with ar5s

 

[jayamait]

yah i never even thought of it.

 

[crooks]

yeah and the t halls have those special rounded edges for urban too

 

[alaskadrifter]

most of the time i usually dont see pros using their own skis. i think its mostly just marketing anyways.

 

[n-o]

yea but that is averagized jump for a pro ... they hit like up to 120 ish tables

 

[holyDINOSAURS]

i like the straight up black t-pro.

 

[crooks]

he gets all the skis he wants, why would it matter

 

[LDuggan420]

^Cause it probably is more of a cost for the company

 

[Pklink04]

dumont in tbc for his urbans used the old 1080s in some shots

 

[michael_bc]

THalls are too soft to ride pipe or big hits.

THalls are marketing, for fools with too much $$ to spend.

 

[Desjardins]

i think its just so people buy the skis, cause they are the pro signature model, but i do agree T-hall does use his skis less then all the other pros out there

 

[japie99]

Wasnt he in Austria couple weeks ago for filming in bc?

 

[Ace3+4]

those wear desguise pipe cleaners

 

[cgroves]

last year the pipe cleaners were a proto-type and looked just like this years t-hall pro only w/ white bottoms (why would you use skis w/ detuned edges in the pipe)....oh and tanner owns part of armada in a way all the skis are his own diffrent pro model

 

[justinm]

marketing......he used his name for a ski because it would sell really well and tanner fans would buy it...which means a lot of people, he probably doesnt even prefer this ski over the others.
