With ex Park Skiers who followed their Idol into skiings irrelevancy and retain nothing from their tall T Hey days but stories, broken Bones and an unhealthy appreciation for Da Ganja?

That will be a huuge success story.

Boss is back

I thought he died
At least one thread said that. The one about his ex girlfriend.

I’m excited to see him rise from the ashes and compete, again.. I like his gorilla style. Hoping he can make it to some of the real venues to see just how he does on super consequential terrain against pure big line chargers, not movie lines. I’m taking nothing away from him but he hasn’t competed on the big faces yet. Maybe my memberberries are moldy tho.

I probably don’t want to know but is there really a thread here about Kirsten P? I hope not, that seems creepy.

What is creepy, she is a legit artist.
And the SKIBOSS ex.

Yawn. He doesn't belong on the FWT.

Truth.

I tend to agree. Talk about someone taking a spot that could go to someone more deserving

Yeah, this.

He's gotta be the oldest guy on the tour by 6 years or so. A man's ankles can only take so much.

[powdork]

It's not so much the age. For example I'd be super excited if it was Candide that got announced, and he's older by a year.

[subtle plague]

Maybe he needs more money for dental work? Like in the one Video where he looked old 5 years ago?

Swap him for Markus Eder please!

[TahoeJ]

Swap him for Markus Eder please!

Pretty sure Eder has an open invitation to compete whenever he wants, like when he did just one event. Definitely miss watching him - although that video he put out last year was incredible.

He mentioned when interviewed on the Blister podcast that he was doing a comp this year but didn’t say which one

[powdork]

He also mentioned in the video i posted a bit back his year on the tour was his worst year of skiing, because of being on the tour.

I think THall still spends the majority of his winter in the Revelstoke area, easy commute and low time commitment to show up in KH. Keeps his name out there and brings in some viewers. A win for both of them a loss for anyone who cares about the quality of skiing on the FWT.

Tanner is a legend and all that, but I don't like this idea.
It's so hard to get into these comps for the up and coming athletes, I feel like he's just blocking someone else's chance.
Especially if he's not going to do the whole tour and just show up for one event.

IMO, he looked out of place the last time he competed.
But if it's just a stunt to get viewers, I guess it'll work, because here we are talking about it.

I'd rather the FWT stay off mainstream radar

Right now we watch it for free, and that's really cool in this world of pay per view everything

I like watching Tanner ski ,but clearly he was not in top form last time he popped in. Well if he's there, may as well wish him good luck at least.

slight rant>People really should stop paying to watch sports - they were very profitable before internet and subscriptions on free tv. There's enough revenue from commercial ads to support players and teams with a ton of profit. I sure hope FWT never gets caught up in the pay per view/subscription cr^p

[detrusor]

I think candide would be a contender

They should create a masters class at one of these events. Competitors have to be at least 35(?) years old. Just do it as a one off thing so hopefully they could stack it with guys like candide, tabke, t-hall, etc.

[Clownshoe]

I like that idea Toast. They do something like this at some some WSL surf events, were a bunch of legends come out and compete against each other in a heat, with no effect on the actual tour standings. The viewers get to see some of their heroes, the heroes get some content for their sponsors, but the event and overall standings aren't impacted.

Here's one:

More events would be cool as well. Would love to see 7 + tour stops. Feasible… probably not, but hopefully as free ride grows it becomes a possibility.
