There are a load of threads on here saying people like Dumont are dicks. All experiences i have had meeting pros have been great! Am i the only one?

A lot of pros just know that they're good and everyone is always telling them how awesome they are so they tend to get a little bit cocky.

"...pro's dicks?". The apostrophe shows ownership, right? Why are we talking about their dicks?

come to Utah and find out yourself

skiers are fucking homies just like the next guy.

with that said, Chad Kenworthy was a douche when I met him with bobby.

Bobby went to my HS and is a homie while still being one of the nicest and most humble guys ive ever met, he gets smh that is totally undeserved

it's because your roommate is a girl. simon was trying to win her heart by being a "nice dude" because that's what douchenozzle's do. good thing your roommate didn't give into doomonts shit because he would've given her no pleasure with his ungodly small penis and then left her with nothing but a broken heart.

Yeah pretty much this. 

You probably wouldn't seem super nice if someone just came up to you and started talking like they knew you 20x a day, y'know?  I'd like to think that most of the time it just boils down to catching people at a bad time, or when they're in a bad mood.  It happens to everyone, and pros are no different.

Saw the monster team in the lounge at Mammoth last year. Jossi and Chugg were really cool and chatted with me for awhile. Peter Oleinick was a dick.

Kevin Rolland was a wicked dickweed to me one time. He was walking through the crowd at Killy after his pipe run and i tapped him on the arm as he walked directly in front of me and said "good luck" and he grilled me like i had punched him as hard as i could.

Met Tanner BDogg and EDollo at the Education of Style screening and all three were super cool, nice guys, took time to chat to everyone, sign people's stuff.

I guess just how some "normal people" -ie not pro skiiers are dicks, some pro skiiers are dicks.
Many normal people aren't dicks, and many pro skiiers aren't. It's probably all to do with their upbringing and childhood mostly.

I went to If3 this year and met Will and Andy who were both the most chill people ever, but its also probably because they weren't in a rush to go anywhere.Talked to Will for a pretty long time, and he actually gave his old poles to my buddy at windells! Some pro's might appear like dicks because they're preoccupied with something, and just might not have time to stop and chat, or don't wanna be bothers atm. But some are genuinely d-bags (Simon haha).

Why people are dicks? Because dicks can also be talented skiers. Pro's in all sorts aren't always nice guys...

Jon olsson is a dick too. I remember when Jon got a jump built to learn doubles in Åre and also let Jacob Wester try it. Wester learned himself the same doubles as Jon and he got pissed of because Wester used those tricks in competitions (e.g. jon olsson invitational). Still there are friends to Jon in Åre who thinks that Wester is lame because of this. Its ridicilous.

Andy parry isn't a dick. Whenever I see him he always makes fun of me. But he's really funny and down to earth.

Some people are genetically more advanced, They're sick and tired of all the bullshit regular people put them through, day in and day out. After years of this, some people turn into Eboneezer Scrooge.

some pros think, " who the fuck is this idiot dick-rider kid? He doesnt even know me, and he loves me... sure ill sign an autograph, but im not gunna say a word to this imbecile."

Yeah I met wallisch and goepper. Both are super chill dudes. Wallisch really appreciates fans and feedback. He is such a cool dude. Goepper just always seems happy and that's really great. Overall both guys are rad.

I'm sure SOME people can relate to this.

You're part of the "older" group of skiers at your hill, or friends with the "good" kids, and you end up facebook friends with some random little kid you don't know. They talk to you on facebook, or say something in person and your initial thought is "Who is this little kid? I don't know him, why is he talking to me?" and you just want to be a dick to him for some reason.

It sounds mean but I KNOW some people can relate to it.  Now instead of having 2 kids like that from your local hill, imagine the whole country doing it to you a LOT more. BAM some people are dicks

If you go to a summer camp (windells, coc, momentum...) you can really see the good side of these guys, I've never had a bad experience with pros at ski camps, even though they're there for that, you can tell guys like Chris Logan, Max Hill, Mack Jones, Joe Schuster, Reed the Speed, they go their shit together and they love just bering out there and seeing us all hyped on skiing

I've only ever met one pro that was a dick, and everyone thought he was a dick including his other pro friends.

Nicest freestyler I've met was probably Jon though, he was cool.

I see no problem with this, he works hard and was disappointed. Why do you think you can call him a bitch for feeling an emotion. Don't tell people what emotions they should feel..
