MAn I gotta give Props to Jon Olson. I feel he got ripped off in two events this year at X and yet he still seemed to carry himself in a good way. Guys like him and Schiller and Bibby, who seemed to have almost all smiles on there faces the whole time should be the representatives of our sport, there attitudes are the one that I think represent skier as a whole in a better light.


The smart man does not know everything, rather the smart man admits when he knows nothing.

He gets ripped off in X-Games events every year. Poor guy.

pipe was debatable, although his run was sick. Slopestlye though, he should've won with little contest.

jon was the only one to spin unnaty more than once in a run(not to mention alternating walls) and not do a straight air

at least he has a beautiful girlfriend to go home to i guess

I agree dude, it sounds like tanner almost cried today or something at superpipe cuz he didn't win. that's kinda gay, i always thought he was more layed back than that

Jon Olssons runs at both events were just so fluid, judging just sucks. Major props to him, keep rocking man, consistency...

if Jon had stomped that right side nine to finish, it would have been all over.

dumonts giant runs with not really hard tricks in them need to stop winning. tanner and jon have way better runs than simon does.

jon fucking rocks, and i don't know what you were talking about in his slopestyle rails, his 270 disaster, while maybe not being the most tech trick, was the styliest thing ever, i mean wow, but i seriously have mad respect for jon he rocks it all
