recently i was reading a magazine that was about a year old and i saw tanner hall in an article on back country. no not kickers jumps or rails, back country. Back country is one area i dont think tanner hall should be involved in, as i read the article under the picture of tanner hall ripping it up in the pow i noticed that the author shared the same feelings with me. come on tanner hall. please stay in the park, to summarize i hate seeing tanner hall in the back country or the park, does anyone else feel this way or does everyone idolize tanner as if he were jesus.

Intersting point of view. Why shouldn't he ski BC again?

I disagree absolutely.

this past fall i met tanner at a skatepark, and he diddn't come off as a douche to me, he just acts thug. but then again, so does almost every kid on this site... but seriously, he seemed like a chill guy, pretty laid back and stoned. guy kills it everywhere too, it is preposterous to say he shouldn't be in the backcountry.

this thread baffles me. tanner hall is currently the best all around skier and can conquer any type of skiing with minimal time to learn how.

tanner hall can be compared to the 07/08 Line Anthem's graphics.

you either love them or hate them.

Tanner halls is a pimp. you can't bash on someone who has done as much for the sport as tanner hall just because hes getting older and he feels like bopping around the BC

yeah, not the best example... i think that even those of us who like the graphics still look at them and think "what the fuck???" only we laugh about it after we think that and just go with it instead of hating on them.  if you know what you're talking about and appreciate good skiing, you can't argue with Tanner when he's on snow, it just isn't debatable.  those graphics on the other hand... still very debatable.

The great Tanner Hall Debate is back, I am so glad it is back, I missed you so much.
He kills BC and Pipe and Park. He is an all around great skier. I hate to claim but at the Boston Believe Permier, some kid asked him all about skiing BC, he said there is no bigger rush then looking down or out on top of a mountain and not know where you are going to go. Not seeing anything. Then he states when he is at the top of the Pipe he can see everything, it is still a rush but not as much. Fuck it man, again isnt skiing about having fun getting that rush.

tanner is dope.
i cant get why people hate on him so much, skiing wouldnt be the same if we didnt go out into the BC every once in a while, and only limited ourselves to the park. there is another world outside of it

 I think tanner has as much of a right to ski pow and big mountain as anyone, and i think hes sick at bc freestyle, however i think he ends up just looking like a punter which he skis lines, similar to watching a racer ski park in a catsuit, he can ski lines but he still skis like a park rat, an i thought it just made him look a bit deluded when in show n prove he had a section with seth, which  made him look like a little girl.

tanner is one of the best skiers ever. He's been around since the very beginning, he is just rediculously innovative, and just an insaaane!!!!!!skier....after how long he's been around,  how much he's done, compititions he's won, rediculous movie segments of his. Tanner should be allowed to shred wherever the fuck he wants and not get hated on for it. He's an amazing skier, in the park, pipe, and backcountry.

man Believe was by far te sickest movie I've seen so far this year, his steeze in the backcountry is unlike anything I've evr seen.  The two double back flips he throws in that movie are just out of this world, who cares if he is a dick or whatever, the man shreds and that is all there is to it.  Go burn a fatty spliff, watch that movie and your opinion on Tanner will be changed forever.

word  up dude, Tanner has pushed this sport farther than basically anyone.  He's done his own thing and pushed the envelope in the direction that he wanted.  Sure, he's had a few slip ups from time to time, like that bar incident or the IF3 thing, but whatever, he's the best rounded skier out there right now

you arogant piece of shit. who the fuck are you to say tanner shoudlnt be involved in skiing backcountry. it is you who finally opened my eyes to see how bad the hate in skiing had become. for someone like you to say that tanner sould not ski mountain because he is god in the park is the dumbest fucking thing ive ever heard. you are the best at being a fucking retard idiot so thats what you should stick with. just like thall needs to stick to being a park rat. and yes i read your gay apology thread. it is you who gives a bad name to skiiers

I agree. I think he's a great skier, def better than me, but for some reason he's not my favorite. for me, its about the attitude and overall feeling that people bring to the sport. I dont get the same vibe from tanner as i do say, pollard or fujas or sammy carlson...

but thats whats nice about a free country. everyone can have their own opinion.

t-hall is the best most rounded skier on the planet. watch his newsest flick believe and you will believe. this kid doesnt lack in any part of his game.
tell me another skier who could shred up in rellatack at the highest level, airing tech tricks onto sick faces then pick up head to CO and win x-games gold?
you cant and never will be able to compete with that kind of natural talent.
DONT HATE!

Doesnt matter where you ski, he is a sick skier. What the difference between a 60 ft kicker in the park vs. a backcountry 60 ft. hit? they are both so sick
