Who the hell is Simon Dumont?

I don't really support the gangster phase in skiing, but I have no problem with it either unless something like this happens.  The tall tee gangster thing hit skiing very abruptly, and most pros made the decision to either follow the g phase or to keep on wearing clothes that fit. watch any Simon Dumont edit before this and you will se that he chose not to be gangster.  IT IS SO GAY THAT HE CHANGED TO A "TALL TEE SKIER" JUST TO FIT IN.

I am in absolutely no way saying that people that wear tall tees are fags, or that Simon is not an incredible skier, but his change is so obviously just to fit in that I had to say something.

Like it or not, fashion is a part of skiing and NS.  If we all dressed the same it would suck.  If we all agreed on what was steezy, it would suck. 

It's great that people disagree on what style looks the best.  It's awesome that NSers bitch about whether or not Dumont's still sick.

This thread is just further evidence that NS is perfect.

so he cant do one trick who cares? Double corks are a fad and by december no one will care about them anymore. He is arguably still one of the worlds best pipe and big air skiers. And  comps are big money from sponsors videos not  as much..

Yeah all I did was speak my mind. I wasn't trying to piss anyone off, just seeing if anybody else agreed with me. Obviously, a few did and many didn't, but I got the issue on the table

The skiing in this edit is pretty sick. And last time I checked, THAT WAS THE IMPORTANT PART. We never see Simon hit rails, ever. Well, maybe very rarely. And now he decides to start hitting them and guess what? He's better than most of us. That's called talent, and he's got it out the ass.

I think you definitely couldve worded it differently than " IT IS SO GAY THAT HE CHANGED TO A "TALL TEE SKIER" JUST TO FIT IN." if you didn't want to piss anyone off...

but anyways i agree with switchieski (?)

Although he doesn't often showcase it, Simon has been hitting rails with skill for years. Watch one of his older edits and you will see all the same rail skiing as is in this

Tanner Hall went to a 40,000 dollar a semester ski academy. The same probably goes for many pros. They are NOT thugs or rastafarian

Fuck you this edit is dope. Id rather Dumont being a "tall tee skier" than a little punk ass bitch sellout. And fuck you i love this "gangster phase" and i dont even listen to rap music. Pretending to be gangster is fun as hell.

So how do you decide whos thug?
by money?
Cause im pretty sure there are thugs with well over 40,000 dollars.

And does it really matter where he went, or how much it was?
If i could afford to goto that i school, you better freaking believe i would.

Stop talking, what you said doesnt matter. If someone wants to believe in something, or dress a certain way its their personal decision not yours so honestly mind your own damn business and get on with life.

So what if Simon Dumont dresses like that now?
Do you dress the same from when you were 5?
whoops from what i deviated from your post it seems that your 5.
Peoples style evolves over time, as do their attitude.

Worry about yourself, and have fun going through life

were you dropped on the head as a baby?
1.) how did you not know who simon was?
2.) why dont you like tall tees?
3.) he recognized that outerwear that fit
was designed for fifth graders. obviously you havent.
