TJ Shciller
Thomas James Schiller, or T.J. Schiller (born October 17, 1986 in Vernon, British Columbia)[1],near the Rock Mountains. T.J is a Canadian freestyle skier. Schiller combines amplitude with style and is best known for his signature switch 1080 mute grab.[2] During winter x-games 14, Schiller became the first person to land a double cork 1620 (four and a half rotations with two flips). Behind Henrik Harlaut, he is the second person to land a 1620 of any kind in competition. Schiller is the head skier of the Canadian freestyle team, and also of the Armada house in Aspen, Colorado.http://www.freeskier.com/videos/video.php?video_id=611Simon Dumont
Dumont is notable as one of the best freestyle skiers in the world today.[citation needed] He is known for his amplitude in half-pipe competitions, airing easily up to 20 feet out of the pipe, and doing double superman fronts. Dumont had a rough season in 2006-07 when he overshot a 100-foot jump in Park City, Utah, by some eighty feet, landing flat, rupturing his spleen and breaking his pelvis in three places, although he was back up and skiing two months later.[citation needed] In 2009 he also won the X Games Big Air competition stomping a double front flip.[citation needed]
He has participated in many freestyle events, mostly big air and half-pipe, and was part of Team America for the Jon Olsson Super Sessions (JOSS) along with American freestyle skiers Tom Wallisch, and Alex Schlopy. They have withdrawn from all future JOSS events because of an argument with Olsson about the release date of their video for JOSS.In 2008, Jon Olsson and Dumont announced their involvement in a new open freeskiing event, the North American Open, at Breckenridge, Colorado. He also participates in Jon Olsson's Super Sessions competition where skiers from each country compete to try to make the best ski video (JOSS).
