Everyone Needs a Hatveit Attitude

This dude is the most positive person I've ever seen. He always seems stoked no matter what. He's always stoked to see other people do well and I don't think I've ever seen him upset. If everyone had his kind of attitude towards skiing this sport would be so much better. Here's a little interview and you can tell by reading it he just loves skiing.

For those who keep asking why Simon gets hated on it's because he's not even close to that attitude. Hatveit is a great guy on top of being a great skier.

I love Andreas.  I have never seen him without a smile, and he is not above using his time to teach people easy things like 180s on the flat.  His blog is great.

Read as - Note to Dumont.... ??

Couldn't agree more...  He has so much stoke, but without having a stokeometer explosion every 5 minutes like Tanner (which i love because it makes me laugh every time....)...

My stokeometer explodes everytime I click into my bindings regardless... and that is what everyone should be like... full stop...   even when i Re-click into my bindings everytime I eat sh*t hard....

It's just the best thing ever!

Got to meet and chill with Andreas for the first time this week. Such a down to earth and humble guy. I was impressed with his style off the hill as well as on. So stoked on life, skiing and all of the other skiers out there!

if you ever watch an interview with him or if you watched the alli show on him i think you would would see that what you thought was cockyness was just him goofin around and having fun. for example when your riding with your friends you never say something like " watch im about to blow a load of steeze cheeze all of over this handy nothin you can do about it... dawg" but i definately see where your coming from he does have a pretty big personality.

Wallisch can get pretty frustrated when he doesn't stomp rails.  A lot of swearing :)

But yes, most of these guys just love to ski 90% of the time.

couldn't agree more.  after watching JOvideoblog a lot last season and seeing how stoked he always was and when he went out to watch Jon race, I was impressed.  Seems like a super chill guy and has the talent to go with it.

hatveit has been my favorite skiier since day 1. Just watching him makes you happy and smile. Watch any interview, like jon olsson's. "andreas how are you? STOKED!!!" (insert massive smile here)

definitely a key ambassador of our sport

nah i respect that he's competitive, but he's far from sportsmanlike. i can't remember i saw that guy smile in a comp because it seems like it's all about himself and he hasn't won x-games since 05 or something.

your also the one calling me an idiot when you have far less of an idea of who i am. that's called being a hypocrite.

This...

he's up there equal to Andreas fo sho.... the kid lives and breathes the sport - for those talking about simon and competetiveness, non more competetive then Jossi, but he's always too high on life to get too down and f**ked off when he does bad... EXAMPLE - he was gutted with his x slope performance, but turned that neg energy into positives and got his pipe game on...

To me, Jossi and Andreas are where it's at - Simon is a showman at times - when he fucks up, he wants to make sure everyone see's how pissed he is with himself... which is a waste of energy... Shit happens, move onwards and upwards...dont dwell....
