Why does Tanner always have to be such a huge douche after he wins

He always acts like such a g-d up fagmo every time he wins. He gets on camera and sells all his shout out and bullshit and tries to sound like he's Oakland instead of Kalispel, Montana. He just makes skiing look bad every time he gets in front of the camera. It's bad for the sport and above all else embarrassing. I hate seeing and knowing what most people are thinking when he talks like that. He needs to realize he's skiing biggest ambassador and he needs to stop acting like a fag every time somebody shoves a camera in his face. Simon wouldn't have done that if he'd won. Which he did. Fucking judges.

^ No because he needs to realize he's an adult now and he should start talking like one.

Not like some wanna be gangster. Go watch the interview with Travis Rice on expn or wait till the snowboard slopestyle is over in a half hour and see how those guys talk after they win. Tanner needs to learn some grammar too. He can't put together a proper sentence to save his life.

bullshit, you have no idea what you are talking about. simon is not way worse. hes soo chill and hes not like he used to be when he was younger, hes way more matured and hes not hot headed. tanner would be more respectable if he didnt yell into the mic after the comp sayin YO WATS GOOD YO YO YO MY NIGGAHS BACK IN SOUTHSIDE LA FO SHO NO DOUBT COP THAT SHIT WORD, no doubt they have both matured but simon would make a way better impression for skiing than tanner.

Ski a techy pipe run like that, win the x-games, get the money, hug your mom and girlfriend, realized you just made BANK, stop breathing heavy and stop the adreline, then hop in front of them camers poised, relaxed, and not caring.
He IS NOT a "wanna be gangster". He won, again, give him the respect he's won year after year.

my god tanner hall yelling after he won was like the single funniest thing ive ever seen... the x games pipe was like the most exciting ski comp ive ever seen... when tanner fell i was like OMG DID HE JUST BREAK HIS ANKLE and i was laughing so hard and then when he won and was like YO I GOTTA GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO PROVO, BIOLLO and all my PC dawgs. and then he was like O YEA AND HIT UP THE NEW BIGGER PICTURE PRODUCTIONS MOVIE, BELIIIIEEEVEEEEE and his head was down and he was like black power waving his fist and he had a mountain man beard, i was laughing so hard

dude you have no idea whats up with any of these people. Dont talk about Tanner you are making yourself look like an idiot. IN fact everyone who disses on tanner for giving a shout out to close friends on TV is just mean. You would be stoked if your name got called out on TV by one of your best friends, and hes just showing his love.
Did you not seem him go up and hug some random kids in the crowd?? he did that out of love for all his fans and just for being stoked! If your a douche bag for just chillin with kids in the crowd then i dunno whats up with your world. He was just sending out love to everyone...

skiing isn't about appealing to the masses, or being a good role model. it's about riding skis down mountains. and i give props to tanner for just being him and not sacrificing himself to be a publically likable persona.

Tanner can act any fucking way he wants. It's that attitude that makes him te best, something you dumb douches will never understand.

I totally agree with you. And I just saw the two runs... and yes Simon got robbed. Simon and Tanner are two skiers that I don't really love, but man Dumont's run was just perfect. Plus, Tanner's first 1080 was like all pencil steeze (ugly!!!)

I'm pretty sure he would never say nigga I don't get how come everyone on this site thinks saying nigga and having to try and be black is being gangster? So the only gangsters out there are black? He kicked ass and was stoked as shit I'm sure if one of you haters just stomped the competition in the halfpipe and won you wouldn't just sit down there and say " Yes umm I would like to thank my mom for being there and everyone else and umm also all my sponsors thanks for being there" all calm like that...Like someone said above he just got money in the bank for winning he's a dope ass skier why can't people just accept other skiers for who they are if they wanna be gangster or wear tight ass pants. Who really cares if it really hurt your feeling that bad to hear Tanner act like that then don't watch him ski anymore because he's just being himself hes not gonna read on NS that some kid thinks it's gay he acts like that and start acting like a "white boy" or however everyone wants him to act so just let people be who they want to be and ski for yourself and be who you want forget the haters

ya tanner just threw a sick run and a switch 10 and won x-games...he was mad stoked and was showing his love to friends and fans

On the contrary, I think his attitude stems from the fact that he thinks he's the best. Which he's not.

You can watch it on expn.com and the end of the clip with his run. I just don't get why he was literally staring at the ground for most of the speech...and the movie thing was a little corny.

Winning a contest doesn't make you the best skier. There are other aspects of skiing that he definitely isn't the best at.

He dominates contests and makes killer segments, and he's been doing it for years. Winning the X Games doesn't make you the best skier - which is too subjective to define anyway - but its a better argument than not winning the X Games. I used to really dislike Tanner but he's getting better, and he is a lot closer to being the best skier than most people.

Usually when you put a 1. in front of something it's because you're going to make a list.
Maybe someday when you grow up you realize that there is a certain way that adults are suppose act.

If i just won a huge contest on national TV i would shout out all my boys back home too, and if i was making a film that i wanted to promote i would also hype that too. its free advertising why the fuck wouldnt you hype your up and coming film. and whys everyone so concerned with the image of skiing and how tanner talks and shit....who gives a fuck it dosent affect anyone on the forum personally so just shut the fuck up and stop being such a fuckin hater.

Actually yeah I did meet him like three summers ago at Mt Hood and he seemed pretty cool. He introduced himself to me in Govy which totally surprised me. It seems like all the success may have gotten to him. He use to be more humble.

I thought he seemed pretty normal. He was staring at the ground and his head kept getting lower and lower while he talked but all he talked about was how sick dumonts run was.

You got to understand that this shit is all impromptu, Tanner doesnt have his winning speech written down. Plus, its kind of nice to not stare directly at a camera or person sometimes when you are thinking of what you really want to say while you are talking.
oh yea, and the xgames commentators always asked the gayest most awkward questions like
"you just said that you thought that dumont will win the competition but yet you won, how does that make you feel?" wtf? It seems like they always ask gay questions like this.

Sigh...and this is why there's an NBA dress code. If you have 6 X Games medals, you can do whatever you want. If you don't like the way skiing is represented, start winning the X Games yourself.

and he does most things on skis better than most.
But thats not what this is about is it? he won, hes the best.

ok no offence to simon, I don't know him personally, but Tanner is a way more chill down to earth guy than he is. If it's the whole acting like a cocky douche bag thing you hate and you say tanners worse than simon you're an idiot. Simon's an awesome skiier, so stylie and pretty inovative, he works super hard and he's mad talented, but from what I've heard he's cockiest bastard ever.
But hey like I said I don't know him, I've never met him so I could easily be wrong
