IF3 - TANNER HALL IS A CLASSLESS IDIOT

Let me start this off by saying that I've been a huge Tanner Hall fan for years. He's a great skier despite the irritating image he puts on. Tonight changed my perspective completely. I was at the IF3 premiere for "Believe" tonight and Tanner, Kye, Sean, etc were on stage introducing the movie. Tanner was drunk of his ass and slurring his speech and would grab the mic out of the event organizer's hand. Every second word out of his mouth was "fuck" in front of a croud which included many children. Just classless, not cool. Just to top it off, after the show the idiot was so drunk he spilled beer all over himself as he tried to take a sip. He also refused to take a picture with a fan (who by the looks of it was 13-14 yrs old). Anyways, the guy's an asshole plain and simple. There's nothing wrong with drinking and swearing but I mean come on, it's your movie premiere can't you wait a few hours to get wrecked? Great job Tanner, you're an inspiration... :|

One less fan for Tanner...GO DUMONT

It's not like it was the premier of the new Harry Potter movie. It was a big party with ski movies. And it's not like Tanner is Lindsey Lohan.  I don't know about you, but when Scandalous came out I wasn't like, "Maybe if I drink enough beer and smoke enough weed, I'll be able to ski like Tanner Hall!"

your arguments are so hopelessly confused, i am suffering severe second hand embarrassment right now on your part.

are you trying to suggest that the guy who sends the letters to oakley gets killed for being a rat without tanners acknowledgement?

that tanner hall thinks hes the best skier in the world?

sammy carlson doesn't have an ego?

that cedric is a better skier than tanner hall?



how did you get so hopelessly mixed up!

this whole thing really depresses me. a bunch of people have already said it, we're skiers. i think we're supposed to get crunk. still, the fact that six pages errupted out of this. i... i... i'm just so bummed out that the only thing to do is get blackout drunk tonight and cause a ruckus, probably slap Harvey if i see him at the bar.

i didnt say anything to him if i was tanner hall i wouldnt wanna wait for kids in the park either but i wouldnt be a dick about it. and dredshed if you have the chance you can take tanners dick out of your mouth and suck on mine for a little bit cuz it wasnt even in the big park it was like a 30 foot table top so if he doesnt wanna ski with those of us that arent as good as him he should go to the bigger park

If it were one time it really wouldn't be a big deal. I don't know tanner at all, but i've seen 2 other instances where he has been like this in public.

Children often develop choose their own roles models.

Regardless I'm embarassed for his sponsors and our sport. As one of the first emerging professionals in skiing's comeback to the wintersports limelight he is visible to all within our industry and action sports in general.

Few in skiing are scared of life, we're all who we are at the end of the day. You drink, fine. You swear, fine. You want to be an ass, fine. I can only say that the true legends, heros and ROLE models of any sport are the people that are themselves but also constantly CONSTRUCTIVELY contribute to the image and drive of their passion.

Tanner is a business owner, elite athlete, film maker and spokesperson. This is without question. What is WITHIN question is his true color. Personally I find it saddening that someone so dedicated to skiing has become so lost along the pathway to becoming a true icon. We all get lost from time to time, its how you represent the way you feel about yourself.

Tanner's actions tell me he's trying pretty hard to cope with becoming so successful. Unfortunately this isn't an excuse for being a self-absorbed spectacle.

Good luck Tanner.

Tanner ain't there to say " oh hi how are you " he is there to ski ! and with that comes attitude !

"He's a dick but he's a skier plain and simple."

That logic rocks.. when he's a nobody.

Unfortunately he's sort of a big deal and that means people associate ALL of us with HIM. "Hey I just heard this pro-SKIER Tanner Hallorsomething was a waste case at this movie premiere I went to in Montreal."

All most people hear out of that is SKIER and WASTED.

I'm a skier, I like to have a drink but sure as hell NONE of us need Tanner proving even further how cowboy some of the professionals in this industry are. Again I have to say for his sponsors and all of us, what an embarassment.

This childish logic that 'BUT HE'S A SIICKK SKIER SO DAT ALL DAT MATTERS YO' is just straight up silly. Thats NOT all that matters. There's bigger forces at work. Tanner gets PAID to be the face for many different products.

Think Oakley really needs one of their poster children making an obnoxious spectacle of themselves in front of children and paying crowds?

I hope to all the people it actually MATTERS to you can see this discussion for what its worth: an awareness of just how interconnected we all REALLY are. You're a skier but you're also a member of a community that is effected as a WHOLE by your actions. Particularly when you put yourself in the spotlight as Tanner has.

I hope you figure out whatever you've got going on in your head that got you to this point Tanner. Be easy.

me too. i'll save my judgement until after then.

And again i say, it doesn't matter what tanner actually did, everyone does that, it's who he was presenting himself to.

but i still don't know, were there kids in the actual building when he did that? if not, this is not even worth a post.

Of course their were kids...that was mentioned in my original post in this thread. He straight up rejected a kid who wanted to take a picture with Tannner, right in front of me.

I don't think I've ever been this angry at an issue here on Newschoolers before. I'll say ever again, ever.

Whatever? I'm going to be THAT guy and say all the posters that have taken a WHATEVER stand on this will understand how detrimental events like this are when you get a serious foot in the industry door, earn your way to where you are by making sacrifices or get older. Yep I said it.

This isn't a "whatever" moment. Many of the posts on here are. This is not. "Whatever" is when some random gets booted from an industry event because he tries to use an expired ID or makes a scene.

Tanner is a top ranked pro representing all of us NOT a random. If he makes me look like an idiot because he's too cool to care about anyone else.. I'm not going to accept "whatever". His blatant disregard for his OWN fan base, respect for himself, the image of all pro skiers and the hard work of everyone connected to him makes my blood boil.

I don't know Tanner, he could be the next Ghandi/Jesus/Father Teresa.. in the end he was a disrespectful drunk at IF3 though. Thats what we all know. When there's a "IF3 TANNER IS THE NEXT CLASSY SAINT" thread then all the power to him.

Id much rather have Tanner being drunk representing me, than sammy or simon sober and about as real as a dry slope representing me which is more than often the case.

Tanner used to be one of my favorite skiers. now days all i hear is storys off him always being drunk and an ass hole to every one. If i were him i would be promoting the sport and try to be a role model. everyone knows he first started skiing because it was somthing he liked to do, so it is no reason to say he isnt a role model case he is just in it for the cash. he is an asshole and smokes to mutch to remember when he was in the sport for fun

Tanner Hall is by far my favorite skier of all time and is the one the main reasons I got into freeskiing. He does what he loves and doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks. Gotta respect that. He's passionate about skiing and thats all that really matters. Not to mention he was one of the guys who pretty much put freeskiing on the map.

Tanner Hall is not a role model for being a respectful kind person. But he is a role model to be a ski boss, he never quits or stops regardless to injury because he doesn't know how, its what makes him an ultimate competitor and champion. He is quite successful in his own respect, after all he is part owner/founder of Armada one of the most successful and influential companies in the freeskiing world.

Is skiing really so coorperatized that people are worrying about the image that Tanner puts out for his SPONSORS? Do any of you ski because homeboy looks good in the latest ad or makes x amount of figures on his salary? Drinking, doing whatever, your person image is a personal choice. Tanner is the person he wants to be and that is why it has been so enjoyable for us to watch the crazy ride his life has taken him on. The day when skiing award shows go like the oscars is the day the spirit dies. I get that people have to get money and do whatever in this industry to get by but dont forget that you got into this as a person for person reasons, not as an image or a logo.

That prolly doesnt make sense but hell Tanner is a human and a rad human and I cant stand by while informers and narcs hate on the big man.
