TPM Episode 143: Simon Dumont, Pro Skier

Simon Dumont is a legendary figure in the world of freeskiing.  Known for booting higher than almost anyone else in the halfpipe, Simon’s career was full of podiums and video parts.  While he is a legend in the sport, things didn’t come easy for Simon.  He was always too small and told he would never make it and he never listened.  He willed and worked himself to success and it’s something he believes anyone can do, if they put in the work.
