He comes back to x games plagued with injuries, can't even hold poles because of broken wrists, is by far the oldest competitor, was out of the game long enough for pipe skiing to progress an insane amount, then comes back to x games and takes home bronze. I'm damn impressed. Don't even know how a guy like that can get so much hate.

Hes not getting any hate this year because hes not acting like a bitch this year. I realize it has to be a let down to lose an event youve been training for all year but the way hes showed his emotions came off as douchy.

Respect simon, cannot wait to see what you bring to the table next tear, stay safe

Same run as he did previous years, but still mad respect. What better way is there to show what real love for the sport looks like? He is older, injured, generally a battle-scarred veteran but he still just keeps going out there and pushing, year after year. That's why I always cheer for him, wish people on here would stop bitching about him being too competitive. If you want to be a legend, you have to hate losing. I guarantee you that guys like T-Wall hate losing as well, they are just better at hiding their feelings and smiling toward the camera. Go Simon, I hope you keep at it for years to come!

Personally once I start looking at how absolutely useless and borderline dangerous poles are in the pipe, I wonder why anyone uses them.

I agree with this thread as well, its great to see Simon humble, driven as fuck and delivering. Atta boy!

Skiing in the half pipe is hard enough but to teach yourself how to do it without poles that well in a matter of weeks is crazy. Amazing performance.

Simon is the illest. when everyone hated him in multiple threads, i kept wondering why. Sure hes got an attitude, but he is serious about the sport, which i like.

I'm glad this thread got made. I've always been a fan of Simon. His "attitude" has never bothered me. He's a competitor and athlete, and I can absolutely relate to that. I'd rather spend an entire day with Simon, than even an hour with T-Hall.

Simon has the sickest cork 3 in skiing.

He's been slaying for over a decade and has one of the most distinct styles in skiing.
I was so stoked to see him on the podium, and even more stoked when i saw his run.

The guy is a beast, and really not the huge toolbag everyone makes him out to be.

A huge inspiration.

simon's still one of my favorite skiers, Tanner and him were the first ones i saw doing pipe and park when i started skiing 6 years ago, especially the intense rivalry a few years back was one of the best in sports.

Your IQ must be lower then your post count -Olimar

There's a formula you can follow to find your steeze quotient, it's quite simple. Just count up the number of inches of ass exposed by your sagging pants, the number of X's found on your outfit, the number(in millimeters) of goggle sag you have, then the number of guns you carry on you at the hill(these are +5 each). Add that all up and you can put a number to your steeziness! BOOYAH!
