Tom Wallisch and his popularity.

It seems to me that Tom (and it seems a lot of pro skiers) became so popular due to being genuinely nice people. Based on interviews and videos, a lot of the mainstream pro skiers seem like really personable people.

just a thought.

(I realize they are also famous because of their awesome skiing)

Most of the time famous people get famous by focusing on their own affairs and ignoring shit like why someone else is famous.

most pros get mad or upset when they cant land tricks or win comps... watch any skiing movie and youll see pros throwing their skis and poles at urban rails. its passion, its what all pros have for skiing. however i still think wallisch is nicer than dumont

late for this quote but w/e

my one buddy who snowboards once said: I've always liked snowboarding, but when i saw that double front flip at the x games, i was like "skiing's so cool"

positive for skiing i guess, but that killed me

THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON.

BECAUSE TOM WALLISCH GETS TIRED OF BEING TOM WALLISCH. DUB 14S ARE FUN AND ALL BUT SOMETIMES HE NEEDS TO GET AWAY FROM IT ALL.

SO HE CHANGES INTO HIS ALTER-EGO, WILL WESSON, AND TRAVELS AROUND IN A STINKY VAN WITH ANDY PARRY HITTING RAILS ACROSS THE COUNTRY!

ITS TRUE. BUT THATS ONE OF THE BEST EDITS EVER MADE IMO.

YOU'D NEVER KNOW IT WAS SHOT ON GOPROS IF THE EDIT WASNT A PROMOTION FOR GOPROS.
