So i know what many of you think of Simon Dumont and i want to clarify some things. HE IS THE MAN....today at The Dumont Cup he handed out tons of Nike and Empire swag to all of the kids and was very adamant about making sure all of the athletes got something...so quit hating on him he is in fact THE MAN.

Giving people shit for free makes you the man? Why does everyone hate Obama then?

Simon is an amazing skier, and a great kid.


Imagine an athlete from any other sport taking time out to hand out swag? Nuh-uh

Because he likes to give away everyone else's money.  In the past they would have called it robbery, now they call it the goverment.

just because he is respectful of all the ams and gives them swag doesn't mean he doesn't act like a douche and win big air comps with double fronts.

Would you not have done the same? If you knew that it was a popularity contest, and your friend was paralyzed, would you not have done an easier trick that you knew you could win with, and then give the winnings to help out your friend? Doesn't sound so bad to me. Sure, the some of the others should have won, but its not like Simon bribed the judges, he just did what he knew would win. I doubt anyone here would opt out of winning Xgames with a double front if given the chance.

^ Yeah fuck that bitching about the X-Games win, get over it he won by doing a gay ass trick except he gave all the money to his paralyzed friend, that's the most legit thing someone could do..

simon is the man and, judging by last years xgames big air, would make a great politician. yeah she shouldnt have won but he knew he was the lone american and thus played to his crowd. everyone hates on him for that, he also gave his winnings to riley poor to pay medical bills according to powder magazine

He gives away stuff he got for free. Awesome. That doesn't change the fact he straight told bobby brown that him winning the dew tour was bullshit...

he's gonna do what it takes to win. i think most competitive athletes would do that. the public loved the double front, he won, i don't see how that's douchey or cheating. while i may not agree with the decision i still don't see how it represents his character or flaws

well he does spend trillions of dollars that the US does not have, and as of now has made it so our grandchildren will be paying off his spending spree. dumont just hasnt stepped up his game like other skiers around him have, he seems to be stuck in the past thinking the same tricks that won him gold at the x-games years ago will still win him medals today, when in fact they wont. in the ski world he is boarderline washed up

Washed up he is the hardest working pipe skier there is he masters his runs so consistently he could learn a double cork in no time and im guessing he might change his ways this year

thats so cool he gives little kids free swag, that he got for free. what a guy, way to be.
never met the man myself, but everything, and I mean everything I see him in, ie videos, interviews, X, etc he appears to be a huge choad who has a chip on his shoulder cuz hes 5'2". dude is a great skiier tho.

he has so much swag just in the way he carries himself which makes him come off like a dick. like at the dew tour stop in utah, he was pissed that he got second and showed it so everyones like quit being a bitch dumont, but hes a competitor. his interviews tell a completely different story and he comes off as super mellow and chill

Which is why it doesn't make sense to hate on him. Shit tom walisch comes across as a dick head but from interviews and shit he seems pretty chill. Oh wait I have never met wallisch so what am I basing my quote on? Thats what I don't understand about you little kids having your opinions of Dumont, The majority of you haven't even met the guy let a lone seen him ski in real life, just a bunch of ignant ass fools posting on a message board seeming tough.

^was that really cool when I said ignant ass fools?
