I'm calling bullshit on everything you just said. That or you met some fake ass rasta's buddy.
guess what, I have been to jamacia tool nd true rastafarians only hold hate in there hearts for the wicked and the downpressers of the Black Messiah and his people. they do not hate whites, indians, asians/ any race, they believe that all men are equal under the eyes of god, and that god will punish the wicked.
When the Rastafarian religion was started (spawned from christianity) most of it's devoted followers were taught the bible by white missionaries traveling throughout Jamaica, many rasta elders today teach the youth and praise these white missionaries for teaching the first rasta's about god and divine intervention.
so ya.... get learnt FOOL

He's correct about one thing; skiing is a lot more than just park n pipe.

Imho you're not a good "skier" if you can throw down in the park, you're a good parkrider
imho you're not a good "skier" if you shred GS and others, you're a racer.

You're a good skier if you can do both; if you know how to actually ski, and you know how to throw down tricks and then bring that to big mountain riding. Then you can say: "I am a skier!"

You go tanner!
You'll get a lot of hate for this, but i'm sure you'll get even more praise!
You told it like it is!
Nothing beats putting down your line, your signature, down a pristine mountain face !

respect dude!

does tanner develop an additional accent when he's high? that's definitely not how he usually talks.

I agree with tanner to a point,  I more of a back country skier.  But I LOVE what park has done to big mountain and back country skiing.  People are doing lines with natural kickers that would have never been imagined if it weren't for  the park.  Same with park People got sick of bumps with jumps lol and started just jumping and hitting rails.  Its a cycle   skiing is great cause u can do it in the middle of no were  or on the stairs of a public library.  SKIING IS FREEDOM

wow, that was agressive...

but seriously i know its been said, but skiing is what you make it. Tanner I am sorry that i live in Pennsylvania and do not have the resources to ski mountains like that and snow like that and cliffs like that. but what can i do, should i just rollerblade? the park aspect is a huge aspect of skiing primarily because that is what the majority can do and unfortunately in most cases the majority rules, park is skiing wether you like it or not

He's such a hypocrite in half of the shit he says in that video. Tanner Hall is one of the main reasons there are so-called posers of the newschool style trolling this forum during breakfast, lunch and dinner. He was one of the first skiiers to care more about his appearance than he did his style. Laame.

PS Tanner, smoking weed definitely does not make you cool.

Dude that was one of the most poorly written posts I have ever seen.  Besides that if I am reading it correctly I think you are right.

On another note, I think TGR guys are the opposite of newschoolers as far as big mountain is concerned.  I say this in the utmost respect of both sites. Meaning NS is a park site where you are starting to see park rats take there stuff into the BC where now I see TGR guys transitioning into some newschool style where they have always been.  I think we can all agree that park can't progress nearly as MUCH(anymore) as the BC can.  Tanner stop being uncool while being right.

NO, he is not saying it "like it is". It's a fucking ignorant, baseless rambling. Furthermore, it's a direct contradiction to what he is saying in EDIAS about how just going out and hitting a box can be skiing and what it's all about. Get your tongue out of his asshole and think for yourself. Skiing is what you make it, not what some completely baked, rastafaried branded, uneducated jackass gives a new label every year.

THIS IS NOT "HOW IT IS" .... think for yourself.

Bah...this thread sucks. Sometimes some of you people need to think about what your typing before you press "reply". Tanner is the man, gotta have respect for the legend folks. I love how quick NS jumps from loving to hating to loving someone. Chill the fuck out, don't overanalyze shit so much and go skiing. Tanner has always been one to speak his mind, this is just another day. Go watch Massive and please refrain from making moronic posts like 90% of what is in here.

mad props to tanner for saying what noone else would have the balls to say. he's just gonna let the haters go at it

Of course anything against somethine else will be taken as controversial but yea it would be so dope to see colby, simon doing more bc. Simons TBC seggy he hit urban too as well as bc and it made a sick seggy now he just does a shitton of comps. Good skier for sure but could be great if he pushed the bc a little more imo.

I prefer keystone light......

and what you define as "REAL" is SUBJECTIVE. Tanner's statements are akin to me telling you what your favorite food or drink is.

Tanner is an epic skier and an icon in the sport, but that statement was out of line. Even worse, some of the people he is calling out are better BC skiers than he is, or probably ever will be.

he was most likely all hyped up and shit because of what just went down at that comp, and because of the fact he cant ski right now, hes just all pumped up and saying whats on his mind. im sure he thinks going out and hitting a box is still real skiing. but at that time he was in the mountains watching crazy shit go down, so he changed his mind about what real skiing is at that time.

He didn't talk shit on those guys, he said he respected them.  He was just saying he thinks real skiing is taking your stuff in to the mountains.  And it isn't something that just recently popped out of his head: (1:50).  Although I do have to disagree with his opinion.  Real skiing is anywhere you want it to be.

Come one !

I mean really? Can't you all just look at the big picture there ?
Tanner is obviously high/drunk/something and he's just so damned stoked after watching some sick stuff. The guy just saw Candide throwing down a picture perfect cork7 into a stylish 3 into a MASSIVE flatspin and all this in a single line (while drinking a ton of beer.. or "vin chaud".. of both of them). After this I would also be stoked as fuck.
He just wanted to show the freestyle comunity what he loves the most wich is big mountain skiing and that we should think outside the box and try going out of the park for once. So yeah it came out a bit wrong because of what he did prior to this interview but hell, all in all he was just trying to share how stoked he was.

But again, some of your park rats egos got touched a bit because you have to take everything outside its context and you just can't look at the big picture. We've known Tanner for what 10 years more or less ? Show the guy some respect, he's a legend in our sport and i'm sure as hell he wasn't trying to direspect anyone with this video.


sorry for my english.

Actually Rastafari has held many black power and afrocentric beliefs. It has also held many homophobic beliefs but that is just because it is a branch of Christianity. They are moving away from these beliefs in an attempt to become more PC, but they certainly exist. Just not as much as they would have 30 years ago. I've never been to Jamaica, I just read.
