I spent some serious time getting caught up on his videoblogs last night and I am so seriously impressed. Awesome job Jon and thank you for bringing us this awesome beautiful thing. Some of the footage is absolutely mindblowing. The doubles jumping at Keystone with Jacob was sick, and the HP practice vid is sick.

when you can lay down a run like that you can say whatever you want.  he knows that he is the best pipe skier in the world, hands down.

Totally. It isn't direct marketing, but it is an excellent PR tool.

"Welcoming Tanner to the POC team" etc

that just gives him more reason to be modest and not cocky

And just think a couple years ago tanner finished almost last or last, i forget which. He is truly inspirational. He sucks at pipe one year and then gets determined and becomes the best in the world only a couple years later.

And for the record, Jon's videoblog is the shit.

what? why? He should all the sudden get humble so the other competitors don't feel so bad? He's been off shredding powder all season, comes back for X and lays down (in the prelims, might I add) the best pipe run ever put together. He spins both directions, goes switch, has rotations from 360 - 1260, and boosts huge the whole time. He can claim all the fuck he wants, being humble would be a bitch move.
