steel spence or some other jibmaster because each rail variation is a trick, making your bag quite large

def not steele spence

i count it as if you can do a rodeo 5 and a misty 5 then you have a bigger bag than someone who can do misty 5 to 10:s...

why cr.

jon can do every trick. i have never(?) seen cr throw something switch!!!!!

though having loads of style and being very inventive i think Vinnie Dorion needs to expand his bag(this will prob start a riot!)...

Ya it seems like as soon as theirs a new trick out there Jon Olsson can do it. Id have to say hes got the biggest bag (lol) of tricks. But Dave Crichton can also do alot of things!

i can agree that pollard has style but personally i don´t like it that much, tweaking/body position is more important to me than a slow non-muscle-moving-spin. i think he looked kinda sketchy in propaganda a lot of times...
but he´s good!

im gonna have to go w/ vinnie dorian. he does so much shit. corks, switch corks, underflips, rodeos, etc. the only thin u don't see him throw at all are misties and d-spins. and jon olsen is right up there too because he's amazing at slopstyle type stuff and in the pipe, but he throws so many d-spins.....

Funny how massive corporations and media giants like NBC refuse to support new skiing events like big air and big mountian, yet they use the latter's image to enhance their own. Actually, not so funny. Suck it, NBC.

I'd say Vinnie, JP, JF or Mike D. theyve been around since the beginning and have created so many new tricks. Skogen has a lot of different tricks too. Also Evan Raps.

Please!! To have a 'big' bag of tricks, you better be able to do regular spins, regular flips, rodeos, misties, d-spins, flat spins, corked spins, and some of the above while fakie. Plus rails, if you consider that in a 'bag of tricks'. Sure Olsson can do a lot, and so can Rex, but I don't think they compare to Dave Crichton. He can nail all of the above, and is working on more...

so you did the 630 on quebec? cool!

jon olsson can for sure do all of what sanchez list said.

freeze listed him as pos 6-8 for slopestyle, that´s rid, the only one that can beat him is Vinnie Dorion if his new trick is something really special.

vinnie dorion does switch corks and underflips but aside from that he only do regular spins. what about mistys, rodeos and d-spins? that´s not a big bag og tricks no matter how much style he puts in the rest of them!

Ok, to make this easier, list the tricks of the person you think has the biggest:

jon olsson:
*=switch

misty grabs*
rodeo/flatspin grabs*
d-spin grabs
cork grabs*(he sauid in an interview some years ago he did fakie corkd up 5:S, if that counts?)
underflips grabs(switch?)
mctwist grabs
flair grabs
unnatural flair grabs
1260*( up to?, at least 9:S)
backflips*
frontflips*
lincolns*

i dunno what else he can throw unnatural.

and it´s not he can just do them, he does em all with style. i´m not in love with him, i´m just swedish, we have to take care of the superstars we have!

noone can compete with him, seriously.

I have nover seen him do a mctwist, or an underflip, or a 1260....

And JF invented half the trick you named.meh what ever... I still think JF is the man and deserves a bit more credit on this one.

Word to Dave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JF is the man!!!!!

seriously, Jon-Jon is great, but jf is the guy who created most of these tricks with fellow quebecers like philou and vinni.

i think it might be nick mercon maybe. doesnt get much recognition, but there is a reason he rides for k2 and ripcurl. sweet at the taco ramp, great in big air, he throws some stylie shit, and not bad at rails.

the question was who had the biggest bag of tricks, not who invented the most tricks.
jf:s bag is big, but nothing like jon´s.

he said in an interview he had spun at highest 1260.

and as for the mctwist watch propaganda, he does plenty of them.

and john mercon doesn´t have the biggest.

it is not a mctwist 900 that he does in propahanda, it is a pipe version of a d-spin.

that´s definitely a mctwist 9 tail he does in propaganda. he does mctwist 5:s there too and in free radicals 4. and there are not such a thing as a d-spin 5.

Those are definitely not Mc twists. a Mc twist is a forwards fliping trick - like a misty flip. definitely not what Jon does - which is definitely a D spin. watch Philou. his is way closer to a Mc Twist 900 than Jons.

But back to the main topic... watch Jf from the start to current.... he can do like every trick in the book... maybe not 1440s.... but who cares about that. A d 7 and a d 12 are the same trick, one s just spun a bunch more.... but yea JF does shit noone else does... he just doesn't make a big deal out of it, and people seem to not notice it.... watch his segments more closely... you will see.

watch ski movie, douglas does d-spin 9 in the pipe.

there is not such a thing as a d-spin 5.

he does mctwist 5:s and 9:s.

i´m too lazy too trnslate but thisa is from x-qual in val thorens which jon won. it says his run(inc mctwist 9!).

I dag visade Jon Olsson att han inte bara är ett one-hit-wonder genom att vinna Val Thorens superpipetävling med linjen Flair tailgrab, Safetygrab, Unnatural flair med safetygrab, McTwist 900, Alley Oop flatspin mute och slutligen en Air to fakie. Det blev den fjärde segern på lika många tävlingar hittills den här säsongen för Jon. Tävlingen var även kvaltävling till X-games superpipe vilket gjorde att det var gott om duktiga åkare där för att tampas om platserna. Klara för X-games genom denna tävling blev förutom Jon även Australiensaren Woody Bouma, Japanerna Shimo och Shoya och Fransmannen Pierre Espagilliere.

def not. but i´m just putting up arguments here.

it looks like a mctwist and it is a mctwist. he flips forward not backwards.

he goes inverted -> not a d-spin

im def not disrespecting cusson here. i´m just saying jon knows more tricks and this is not about who invented(/wasthe first personed to do on skis) the most tricks or who is the most popular rider.

can cusson do switch mistys, d-spins, mctwists?

if you're talking about mike ds section in propaganda, he never does a d-spin 9 in the pipe. its a mctwist nine. it seems like that's 'the trick' this year; the trick everyone wants to throw.

im sorry but the reply it is not a d-spin because he gets inverted is the dumbest thing i have ever heard. on cork spins you don't get inverted but a d-spin is a corked 3 to backflip, definately inverted. and that other guy was right philou does mctwists and jon olson does d's, there is even an article about it in one of the freeskier mags, i think within the last couple of months.

try to leave the bad words out of it.

no, a d-spin is not inverted.

so what´s he doing when he´s doing a mctwist 5?

you might have a point cuz he´s sort of leaning back even if it looks like he´s flippin forward.

but i heard from alotta places mctwist 9 it is.

anything from jon himself?

fakiedrop, a dspin is definitely inverted. The feet go over the head, therefore it's inverted. It's a corked 360 to off-axis backflip. Mike Douglas first came up with it when he was trying back fulls. If you don't think it's inverted, then you don't know what a dspin is. Too many people call corked tricks dspins and they're wrong.

i know exactly what a d-spin is.

it´s inverted, but not much(at least not jon olsson style). the mctwist/d-spin 9 he does in propaganda in the pipe is really inverted.

mike d does an alley-oop d-spin 9 in ski movie, looks nothink like jon olssons mctwist/d-spin.

OK so i watched his seg again. here´s what i think.

he does 3 mctwists/d-spin 9:s. the angels tricks the eye a little but i´d say the first one is a mctwist(really inverted), the last one is a d-spin ( slightly inverted, before the switch lincoln) and the second is a little trickier but i think it´s a d-spin 9 too.

OK so i was a little wrong but i´m convinced that the first one is a mctwist. he really sets it up like a misty in the pipe and is much more inverted than on a regular d-spin.
