schiller did do the only stylish 1440 i've ever seen so I would have to agree with him for contests, although I think for general amplitude candide is the man.

Schiller hucks his stuff too much. I think a clean cork 7 looks much better than a 1440. Not saying he doesn't have skill though.
Jon Olsson hits everything so smooth, park or back country, but Favre has the best in-park style I think

its not about whos the best. thats whats cool about what we do. for real, it sounds corny and evrything but think about it. seeing as how its all about style (at least for me.) ive seen kids who will never make a magazine page do some real clean, big, fresh shit!!
