bahhaha dood warner is not jon's personal tech, it was a joke. he might help tune jon's skis but he's not jon's "personal tech". warner is jon's friend that travels with jon a lot because they race in a lot of the same races. warner fucking rips. hes was a couple spots out of the olympics last year. warner's always been right off the us team but he rips super hard and is a super cool dood.

but yeah sorry to kinda freak out, it's just that warner is no tech. since hes not on the team he has to tune his own skis. but yeah the othher day was the best finish of his career. definitely stoked for him. funny to hear jon say "sweet". i don't think i've ever talked to warner without him saying "sweet" haha

No Jon is paying Warner to help him out setting courses, tune skis, and everything for rain training. There was an interview talking about it. He was also there in Sweden with him and Warner was chillen up there for free.

bro to be able to set up race course and tune race ski you had to be a pro racer at some point.

not really it's not all that hard to do either of those things. i can tune skis and set a course and i'm no pro. i may have raced for six years and done well in it but i'm no pro.

I wasn't denying the fact the warner is a really good skier and was on the US Ski Team and everything. I was saying that warner is being payed by Jon to be his personal tech and what not.

regardless, they're buds and and the point i was trying to make was that warner isn't technically a "tech" he's a racer and since he's not on the team he does his own skis and jon's as well i guess

Cheers for posting that, I was training up there that weekend (not racing), tried to get on the t-bar with Bode but he snaked me and rode with his trainer. Props to Warren for winning!

first off his name is warner. and secondly he fucking shreds so damn hard, way harder than jon. warner is straight world class and deserves to be at the world cup level more than most do, especially jon.

Maybe if jon was a little more hyped and not complaining all the time, he would of done well... Warren is just stoked and chill about everything and he is not stressing out.
