 Still wondering why so many people calling him douchebag.

 Why , does this picture of him boosting prove he's not?

 I know a kid at my park who knows anthony and went to school with him and apparently he was a really big douchebag

 Any loaded 16 year old is going to be a douchebag. Unfortunately, it's almost inevitable.

 It is scientifically impossible for an article of Anthony to be posted without people calling him a douche, i dont blame them....

 A lot of it will be out of jealousy, but I too have heard the boy is a douche.

 I honestly can't say out of certainty. I've never met him.

 Yeh It's hard to tell from videos , I honestly don't know him so can't really have a solid opinion of him.
I was just proving a point in my previous comment but I'm not going to call him a douchebag until I meet him and know he is.

I find it funny though that everyone uses the word "douchebag" specifically when it comes to him. Not , dickhead or a*shole or shit like that. Just , Douchebag

 that would be because the word " Douchebag" applies perfectly to him

 News Update: BC, Whistler: After an impressive high jump by the young and talented Anthony Messere, the USADA has allegedly launched an investigation against the rider. They state that there is no humanly possible way to jump that high with such flair. Although no known drug has said to increase swagger as much as Messerre had, the USADA is investigating whether its possible that Messerre had been injected with Helium. For further news updates, stay close.

 how much higher can this kid go? shocking everyone at the crankworx with his height in 2011, then he boost even higher this year...he's only 16, and is getting to be one of the top riders in the world, keep up the good work messere and looking foward to see what you can do in just a few years!

 Haha, he def. didn't go higher than last year. www.h3publications.com/nucleus/media/78/20110724-Anthony-Messere-by-Ian-Hylands-Red-Bull-Content-Pool.jpg

If they marked up the pool the same way in 2011 as they did this year, he would have been boosting "60ft."
  • 1 1
 Last year was at least 10 ft Higher
  • 2 1
 Definitely I was at this years and last years and he definitely went higher last year. All the riders did.

 Should replace the 30, 35, 40 height markers with X5, X7, X9.

 Flying on Earth class at Mars High Schoool:

Teacher: - In the planet Earth the place you need to be more careful about is Whistler, Canada. This biotope consists of big mountains, humans that shred on things called bikes and they drink something called beer afterwards to "recover their energy" but it actually makes them go even crazier. It's considered bike paradise by all the shredders on earth.

Student: - So why do we need to be so careful?

Teacher: - There's this human called Anthony Messere, he boosts so high that he might interfere on our signals. Never, I repeat, NEVER fly your flying saucers around that kid or you will see yourself in big trouble.

Who sored like a plane landing in Malaga
When asked "How he boosts?"

 Not to sound cliche but it's nice to see guys always pushing higher and farther, sometimes when not even necessary. Seeing Anthony go even higher than his already previous record is really neat, always trying to outdo the competition, even if it's yourself. Cool to see the sport ever progressing.
  • 5 3
 I really wanted to write something clever And this boost must have quite the endeavor But to tell you the truth it just leaves me speechless How Anthony could boost that making it look effortless This was a bad poem, I hope it didn't wreck your day I just wanted a shot at wining a bag in this evoc give away.
  • 5 1
 Not in for the comp but i really wish they'd marked the measurements off the top of the lip so we could see the true boost height. Rather than the height off the ground..

 Sixteen years, maxed in top gear At heights we cannot comprehend The high air champ has been crowned, 40 ft from the ground So this crappy rhyme has been penned The height is larger for this Red Bull charger Who defies all logic and sense Next year I call the line, to wall-ride the sign And be the next great sequence
