Tanner Hall and the Miracle
Nearly 20 years have passed since his spectacular debut.
He's won seven gold medals at the ESPN X-Games, appeared in countless ski movies, founded ARMADA, now one of the world's top brands, and easily dominated big mountain skiing.
No rider has had a longer, more diverse career than Tanner.
He also surprised everyone by competing in the FWT competition.
His glorious record and unprecedented achievements led
people to call Tanner "THE SKI BOSS."
A movie compiling the culmination of freeride world king Tanner Hall's work to date will be released this fall. The title is "TANNER HALL FOREVER." It is sure to be a film that explores Tanner's 20-year journey in pursuit of "perfection" and the existence of that miracle. I can't wait for its release.
Ahead of the release on October 6, 2020, let's take a look at the teaser that was recently released to the world.
Instead of English subtitles, we've picked out some words from the video.

No Regrets.
Behind his dazzling glory and success, Tanner Hall has struggled with many hardships.
In 2005, he suffered compound fractures in both ankles and heels while playing in the Utah backcountry. In 2009, he ruptured both Achilles tendons and broke both feet.
Tanner has a tattoo on his left arm listing every bone he has broken. Beneath it is the phrase
"No Regrets."
Tanner's love of marijuana is well known, but it's also fascinating to note that it was marijuana that saved him from serious injuries and serious drug addiction, and that his constant self-reflection has helped him become the performer and player he is today.
TANNER HALL FOREVER
In many ways, Tanner Hall has been a very special person for the past 20 years, and
this movie will surely convince you that he will continue to be that way in the future.
Tanner Hall is an absolute champion who
to ride and compete at the forefront , still with the passion he had at 17. His presence and brilliance are truly eternal.
